The BsIC•CralT, at the request of a shareholder, read the
eonditions of the settlement between the company and the
government of India, which are as follows :
" The guarantee of 5 per cent. of the Secretary of State
for India, 'beady given, upon • sum of 1,000,013 W., is to con-
tinue in force, end to apply specially and solely to the row
exiting capital of 1,000,0001„ as held by the present share-
holders. Out of the net returns which may be derived from the
irrigation supplied from all works constructed by the com-
pany, an annual amount equal to 5 per cent upon the sum
of 1,000,0001. is to be received in the first instance by the
company, sods to repine:at the current yeaes interest
guaranteed by the Secretary of State; which slim will
be paid to the holders of the existing guaranteed shares.
Out of the balance which may remain of such net profits
from irrigation, an amount equal to 5 per cent. upon all sddi-
tional capital which shall have been raised beyond the pre-
sent guaranteed 1,000.0001, is to be retained by the company,
and will be paid to the holders of neguaranteed shares.
The residue of such net profits from irrigation, se far as
it will extend for that purpose (after the payments, before
described, of five per cent. upon the entire capital of the
company) is to be applied in liquidation of all such
interest upon the present guaranteed 1,000,00 W. capital,
as the Secretary of State may have previously advanced.
When such last-mentioned arrears of interest shall have
been liquidated, the company are to receive, oat of the
heLmca of such profits from irrigation remaining after pay-
ment ci 5 per cent upon the whole capital, a sum sufficient
to »preset • further 7 per cent. upon such capital, and
snaking,: with the previous 5 per cent., 12 per cent.
thereon. The ultimate residue of the net profits front
irrigation, after the company shall have received 12
per cent therefrom, is to be divided equally
between the government and the company and
the whole of the net returns derived from tolls and other
profits of navigation are to belong exclusively to the com-
pany ; subject, however, to a lien thereon, to meet any
deficiency in the profits from irrigation, to cover the current
interest upon the guaranteed 1,000,0001., should any such
arise. _ _ _
