NATIONAL FRIEROLD LAND SOCIETT.

Lest evening the quarterly general meeting of the
members of this society was hold at the London Tarns ; Mr.
Caktilte Garin la the eLefr.

Th• Citsitnaw, in cpening the proceedings, etniffeitti•
lated the member. on the circumstance of the entity having
at length succeeded in accomplishing a plan that would
enable it to relieve the Urines, of the society from that
heavy responsibility in connexion with the extensive opera
, noes in lend under chic., the society had en long laboured.
It we. a plan which would enable the •ociety to deal in
land, not as hitherto, without the pale, bet within the
mopes' cf the law of the land. It wee for a long time a
vexed question whether power for this purpose could he ob-
tained trim Parliament (a the ki and of Trade, end while Mr.
Cardwell was president this power was imperatively refused;
and it was said that it could not be done without a special
sot of parliament. Now, however, Mr. Wilkinson, M.P.,
who was one of the trustees of the National Land Society,
had succeeded in obtaining from the Board of Trade a limas
to deal in land under the Limited Liability Act, and it was
now proposed to carry on the land operation of the National
Land Society under another tome and 'instrumentality. As
regarded this tarticular power, the title of the new metre-
mentality to be that of the Bnt'eh Laud Company. While
it sae proposed under the Dec organisation that toe British
Land Company should take upon itself the whole of the
hurthens at presint cast upon the property and land
committee of the National S.,ciety, it was also prop eed
that the shareholders in the National Society should
have the option of becoming shareholders in the new com-
pany, the shares in it being offered first to them and then
to the public generally. One of the advantages of the new
system would consist a giving the members a larger choice
of land, for during the last two year., owing to the war
and the restriction (now removed) placed on their proceed-
ings, the parchun of lead had been almost nil. Their
operations in land would sow be performed according to
law, and the entire movement would be placed upon a legal,
commercial, and paying footing. (Applause.)
Mr. Witirritroliam, the secretary, then read the report
