attendance. A hostile feeling has for some time past
been manifesting itself to the monsgement a-the
directors, which was displayed very soon after the

over it. Mr. W. L. C. Ad., the chairman of the
directors, happened to be rather late, and, taking
advantage of this, Mr. Hamilton proposed and Mr.
Wilkinson seconded that Mr. H. Kemp-Welch take
the chair, on which some high words arose, Mr. W.
Pearce expressing himself strongly on the duty of
the shareholders to wait a few minutes for the omond
chairman of the day. Mr. Hamilton's motion being

exceedingly boisterous throughout, and much marked
with personal altercations and recriminations, first
between Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Pearce and afterwards
between Mr. W. L C. Ade,' and Mr. Roger.,y and Mr.
Adey ant Mr. Wilkinson The meeting, • majority
of 18 to 8, decided that the annual account should not
be received and adopted. A poll was demanded by
Mr. Stone when it was found that • large number of
the shareholders could not vote, not haring signed the
deed of the oornp.ny. It was ultimately decided that
the meeting should be adjourned three weeks, to gite
time for all the shareholders to sign the deed, and for
counsel's opinion to be taken on certain legal points
about which the meeting was in great difficulty. The
real object of the dissentients is to get rid of the present
