TO THE EDITOR OF TUN IMPRESS.

Sir,—Vice-Chancellor Stuart, as your readers are already
aware, has suspended the enforcement of the call to the
3rd of November, so that the question with respect to lia-
bility may
then be argued. As a whole, this result, be-
sides its immediate and intrinsic value, so far tends to
justify our grounds of resistance, as connected with actual
disclosures ; and we cannot but augur favourably as
to contingent discoveries from the persistent combination
of the creditors and liquidators to prevent, and inter opt,
and embarrass our investigation of the real stint of affairs.
While we thus have reason to congratulate our constitu-
ents on such a measure of success, we :og to address a few
words to those numerous shareholders who, though
wishing us well and watching our doings with interest,
have not yet joined the Defence Association. Those gentle-
men, so far as our conflict with the liquidators is con-
cerned, may reap, if not the moral credit of the issue, at
I least its material advantages. With regard, however, to
proceedings against directors, they will clearly stand on a
different footiug. In that matter those alone who may
bear the burden can appreciate the benefit, but beyond
such a consideration, we boldly appeal to them, as lovers
of truth and justice, to embrace the privilege of their
otherwise unfortunate position to vindicate, along with
us as their fellow-sufferer, against the authors of their
and our calamity.—l am, ace,
THE CHAIRMAN Or THE DEFMCE COMMITTEE.
