New Zealand Company. J.E.Boulcott dec'd. The purpose of the Company was to develop New Zealand as a Colony on a profit-making basis. Mr.Boulcott, a Director of the Company was a large shareholder who borrowed from the Company on security for some of the shares he bought. In the course of time he reduced the debt from £11,500 to £4,500 and the Company returned some of his shares, held as security, which were transferred into his son's name. The rest of the shares at his death went to the Executors except for 491 new shares and a lien upon some land still held by the Company as collateral. The Crown was a large shareholder. The Company and the Crown withheld dividends due to the Executors. Correspondence from New Zealand House, from Doctors' Commons and elsewhere. The Company was eventually wound up as follows. The New Zealand Government raised a loan to pay off all shareholders in the Company but asked H.M.Government to remit their claim to the extent of £15,000 and give an Imperial Guarantee to the proposed loan.
