HATRYCASE
HARD
BLOW
TO
CREDIT
Liability
of
English
Firm
Something
Like
Hundred
Million
Dollars
LONDON,
0,;t.
16
(by
Mail):
With
liabilities
estimated
at
$100,
000,000
and
.-.ssets
that
are
largely
problematical,
the
failure
of
the
Hatry
group
of
companies
Is
by
far
the
worst
blow
suffered
by
the
London
Stock
Exchange
for
over
hah
a
century.
But
heavy
though
it
is
the
financial
loss
is
not
the
weightiest
part
of
the
calamity.
Hatry
and
bis
associates
have
surrendered
themselves
to
the
authorities
and
are
now
the
subject
of
a
state
prosecution.
The
charges
against
them,
as
formulated
by
the
Crown,
lnvolvefthe
forgery
and
uttering
of
scrlrVcer-tlflcates
to
enormous
amounts.
"Such
transactions,"
said
counsel,
In
opening
the
case
for
the
Director
of
Public
Prosecutions,
"deliberately
carried
out
In
the
City
oi
London
by
persons
en
trusted
witn
tne
issuing
oi
loans
to
municipal
corporations
is,
I
believe,
unprecedented."
It
is;
and
the
loss
likely
to
fall
on
the
general
public
will
probably
be
small
as
compared
with
the
suffering
by
tne
tsanics
ana
tne
memDcrs
or
the
Stock
Exchange,
who
are
lee-
ally
bound
to
give
good
title
to
all
securities
passing
through
their
hands.
It
is
this
aspect
of
the
matter
which
Is
having
h
serious
re
percussion
on
linancial
business.
It
is
obviously
Impossible
to
subject
to
subject
to
searching
scrutiny
and
enquiry
every
financial
document.
Something
must
be
left
to
credit
ana
confidence;
ana
both,
at
the
moment,
have
been
badly
unaerminea.
