the above object, both from regard to their own aldose, fa-
tweets, and is justice to their fellow.sharoamtiets, wbo
bar. already taken their pro-rota allotments (elms mach
more), to oome forward and:aseist, in however small degree,
in completing the subscription to the new stock. A compa-
ratively small effort would now accomplish this object.
Once attained, and the ecmpiny freed from pecuniary diffi
malty on capital sammat, and enabled to make adequate
working provision for the requirements of the traffic, your
directors, who, as yeti are aware, have personally much at
stake in the undertaking, (eel perfect ear fidence that the
property will steadily improve and become fairly remune-
rative.
The Ca•taus.et, In moving the adoption of the report,
umgratulated the shareholders upon the progress which had
beet made in liquidating the liabilities of the company,
and recommended them to take up the remaining new
stock, which would at once fres them from pecuniary diffi-
culties on capital account, and enable them to get a new
rolling stock, and to meet the requirements of the traffic.
Mr. Caosan seconded the motion.
The CILUILMAN stated in reply to a question that the

could Pt • clew *O,OOOl. of the new share capital,
that woo be sufficient, with the debentures which they
were able to issue also, to clear off every debt that was owing
by the company, and would enable them to close the capital
amount.
The motion was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. Banbury end Mr. Barlow were reelected directors.
•• On the motion that Mr. Gilliland be reelected,
Mr. Hammitt° moved that Mr. Gilliland's vacancy be not
filled up. He disclaimed any personal feeling towards Mr.
GiUilaad, but he was of opinion that a local director was
ILOSOOtlittly.
the Cuentuerc thought that Mr. Gilliland's services
were very useful.
After a few words from Mr. Bata., Mr. Ilituutwo with-
drew his amendment, and Mr. Odlitaid was reelected.
Mr. Bleu. asked whether it was true, es he heard,tbst the
Trelliek accident was not the result t.f any Roman catholic
Of protestant feeling, bat entirely owing to the state of the
roiling stock.
This C11•11.11•X trusted that the cause of the accident
might be such as Mr. Bell suggested, whatever amount of
blame that might bring upon the officers of the company. But
the opinion of the board remained unchanged, namely, that
the deed was mused on purpose, but whether from mere
waatouser or • worse feeling there was no 'videose to
show. The grand jury did not find bills against the per
eons suspected because there was not sufficient evidence
against them. If they had been put upon their trial and
acquitted, as they must be from the insufficiency of the evi-
dence, they could not be tried again, and under %bust cir-
cumstances it was thought better for the ends of justice to
ignore the bills in order to see if time would throw more
light on the subject. (Hear.)
A. resolution was then agreed to, authorising the director,
to raise 25,0001., being the sates of money prescribed by the
act of 1854, as loos as the requirements of the Joint Stock
Companies Act should be complied with.
A vote of thanks to the chain's& and directors terminated
the proceedings.
