in the chair.
The Cnanottn, in making his statement, said that when

agreeeble duty to discharge, but his duty wee very
much lightened by a ansfeeence which bed taken
place between the directors and some of the pri

lee vacancies en the beard should be placed at the disposal
et the shareholder,. The directors bed two conferences
with their creditors, and be wee hhaappppy to say that they
found these creditors kind and coeaderate ones. (Hear.)

the board, and that they be filled up by Mr. T. Care, M. P.,
Mr. Davis, Mr. Clift, Mr. Grover, sod some other gentle-
man whom the shareholders might desire to appoint. The
potlemen named were suggested by the shareholders

payment of divides& on those shares, and the employment
of the secret service motley,
Mr. OAV/t, P., expressed his opinion that every oast.
tract taken by the directors would per se have given a large
profit. He should have preferred if the board had re.
signed as a body, bat as the proposition from the chair we
a compromise he should sot oppose it.
Mr. Rontarres, the chairman of the committee, thought
that one member of the committee shauld be planed on the
beard. (" Hear, hear.' and " No.") He moved that Mr.
Bevan be one of the directors. (" Hear, hear," and " No.")
Mr. Onmairwaratrr, another member of the committee,
seseaded the moths°.
When we went to press the meeting was still discussing
the question who were to be the new directors appointed.
