THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1866•

former aud attacked thelatter, he feltbonnd to come forward
and ask their lordships to grant this nilo. The article, which
was a very long one, appeared on the 20th November, and
comme:,e.l by referring to a speech delivered by 3lr. T.
Hughes, the other M.Y. for Lambeth, on the previous
evening, at the Walworth Institution, which meeting Mr.
Doulton did not attend, because it was called by Mr. T.
Hughes without any reference to him (Mr. Doulton). The
article, after praising Mr. T. Hughes for his political
honesty, proceeded to animadvert in very severe terms
on Mr. Doulton for his conduct in parliament. The learned
counsel then read the article at length, and the following
are some of the passages complained of by Mr. Doulton :
" Representative' has come to mean in certain mouths
a sem.torial personage who on false pretences embezzles a
seat with hypocritical addresses, in order that hq may mis-
represent his electors on the flimsy plea of independence."
" rhose who mouth the word ` independent while they
swindle the people, to give them a stage for their
political knavery to strut upon, would do well to note
two passages in the address [Mr. Hughes's] deliveVeil
on Monday night at the Waiworth Institution.
" Dare any of the spurious independence of the time say
such things in such a position ? Their own measures and
scales are vile, with too much self-interest—fraudulent,
with too many hidden make-weights to allow it. They
have to stop at home, like Mr. Co
DoultonHo, because
ons
the new
fashioned honesty of the present use of mm
'mum muster there, but is found out and called a sham in
less delicate assemblies." " lie represents his potteries, and
not the borough, and his proper place is among them."
" If the borough possessed a dock for political swindlers
his proper place would be easier to point out, and he
would then have a good right to be heard." "This new
Judas of the modern potter's field crept into the confidence
of Lambeth in the days of Palmerstoniaa promises and
petty performances—picked the pockets of the Lambeth
men of their votes—embezzled the seat for the borough,
and then made it a sort of branch establishment for his
own private opinions and ends." " The wiliest thing that
man has ever done since be filched the appendage of M.P.
has been to give up saying one word to palliate his
condition."
The Lord Chief Justice said it was a discussion of Mr.
Doulton's public conduct, and did not attack his private
character.
Mr. Field said it imputed improper conduct to Mr.
Doulton, who bad retired from his pottery business, in
order the better to discharge his parliamentary duties.
The Lord Chief Justice said the article meant that Mr.
Doulton came in on certain expressed principles, which
the electors really assumed to be held by him, but instead of
that he voted against the Reform Hill of the late govern.
ment. and had thereby violated his pledges to the electors.
The court would be lowering the character of its gum-
wary jurisdiction in matters of libel if they granted a
rule on this article.
Mr. Field submitted that the article charged Mr. Doul-
ton with acting for his olvate ends.
The Lord Chief Justice said that meant politically.
Public men must not be so thin skinned. All came
now a days for their share df 'Public censure or praise.
The court could not entertain the application.
Application refused.
This was the last day of term. The court will sit to-day
at Nisi Prinz.

BAIL COURT.—Nov. 26.
(Sittings in Ban na —(Before Justioeltlackburne and Shee.)
maim() DANK COMPANY (LIMITED) r. BAILEY.
This was an action brought by an official liquidator, under
a windiug up order in Chancery, to recover a certain
amount of calls on shares in the bank belonging to the de-
fendant. The defendant obtained an order of Mr. Justice
Shee to administer certain interrogations to the directors,
but they declined to do so, and thereupon the defendant
obtained an order of Mr. Justice Blackburn, to stay pro-
ceedings, until such interrogations were answered, and the
consequence was the official liquidator could not proceed
with the action. A rule had been obtained calling upon
four of the directors to show cause why an attachment
should not issue for contempt.
Mr. Powell, Q.C. supported the rule.
Mr. Milwanl, Q.C., and Mr. Charles Russell, showed
cause against the rule.
The court ultimately made the rule absolute against the
three directors who hail been personally served with the
rule.
This being the last day of term, the court disposed of a
number of motions, but they were of no general interest.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 26.
Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lon.' Chief Baron Kelly, and

Barons 13rarOwell, Channel!, and Pigott.)
At the sitting of the court the Lord Chief Baron gave
notice that they would sit on Saturday, the Bth December,
for the purpose of delivering judgments.
THONIPSON r. THr. NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY COMPANY.
In this case a writ of the court had been served at Edin-
burgh upon the secretary of the North British Railway Com-
pany for a claim in respect of the construction of a mineral
station at Harwich in Roxburghshire, and Mr. Gallwey, on
behalf of the defendants, hail obtained a rule to set the
service aside, on the ground that the suit should have been
brought iu Scotland, where both parties reside, and the
work was executed.
Mr. H. T. Atkinson now showed cause against the rule.
The court expressed a strong opinion is favour of setting
aside the service.
Mr. Atkinson hoped that if the rule was made absolute
it would be without costa. In the first instance the de-
fendants had taken out a summons at Chambers to set
aside the service, but although the plaintiff attended the
defendants were not represented, and the next the plain-
tiff heard of the matter was when an application was mails
to the court. The learned counsel said that as the de-
fendants had a station at Carlisle and Edinburgh it was
thought the service was perfectly regular.
Mr. Uallwey said the defendants were advised that the
pro Fer course was to move the court to set aside the
service.
The Lord Chief Baron said they mast make the rule
absolute, but without costs, as the case might have been
disposedof at Chambers.
Rule absolute accordingly.
This being the last day of term, a considerable number of
motions Ares made ; but they were either motions of course
or involved only points of practice or technical questions,
of no general interest.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Nov. 26.
(Before Mr. Comminioner Holroyd.)
IN RE. H. L. T. N. VON LINTER.

The bankrupt was described as • mine proprietor and
mining en4ineer, of Oakley-square, Regent's-park, and
formerly of Dublin, and elsewhere. He ascribes his
failure to expenses incurred in obtaining a concession from
the RU315:311 government for the establishment of an Anglo-
Russian bank in the empire of Russia, and the delay in
making the same avtilable, owing to the financial and
political difficulties here and on the continent. Ilia lia-
bilities amount to 10,9:v21. The assets are returned at up-
wards of 1,7001., consisting of debts and interest in various
mining leases.
Oa the application of Mr. Aldridge, for the official
assignee, au adjournment of the examination sitting was
ordered, to give opportunity for inquiring into the secu-
rities said to be held by creditors.

bentures issued to the parties to their manifest injury.
From what has been said, you will see that the directors,
with their secretary and solicitors, have met the share-
holders from time to time, and the shareholders at such
meetings have legally sanctioned all the acts of the direc-
tors, though upon those occasions they carefully excluded
the debenture holdersdebenture holder had access to
those meetings, no debenture hoLder has any power to look
at or into the accounts ; and when the concern is on the
verge of bankruptcy, if not actually insolvent, the deben-
ture holders are asked, to-day, to meet the directors as the
representatives of the shareholders, to find another million
and a half of capital—or, what is the same thing, to allow
that amount of capital a priority over their existing mort-
gages. And for what is this capital wanted? Have we
any statement in figures? Have we anything before us,
except a vague proposal to pay us past and accruing inte-
rest out of freshly borrowed crpital, and in paying land
claims, for which the money has already been raised under
the various acts of parliament? One section of deben-
tures amounting to 356,300/. (the eastern section) is not
even to have the fair advantage from this extra capital, if
it should ever be raised. The imam of these debentures
will remain a stigma on the compepy as long as it exists, all
the formalities of the law have been set at deflanoe,and not
one share has ever been paid upon. Whatever were the
acts of parliament they have all been violated, and violated
with the full knowledge of the board of directors, as
the following minutes will show:—" At a meeting
'of the finance committee, held 21st April, 1864,
resent Lord Harris, Mr. G. Cobb, Mr. W. Gladstone,
Mr. G. P. Holroyd, as to issuing debentures for the
eastern section, resolved that the issue be authorised." To
issue these debentures the necessary legal document was
prepared by the solicitors of company, the accounts
necessaryfor the purpose were prepared by the accountant
under the direction of the secretary, and the falsities were
sworn to as truths before the magistrates at the Southwark
or Lambeth police-court. (Cries of " Hear, hear," and
" Shame.") After such proceedingslhow can the deben-
ture holders of this section be expected to suspend all
actions at law for their overdue interest for twelve months,
and fortheir principal for five years from the 31st December,
1867? (Hear, hear.) Until a full and particular account
of every item upon which this money (1,500,000(.) is to be
expended is laid before us, we hope that every debenture
holder will withhold his assent ; and unless that statement
is satisfactory, we trust the debenture holders will never
consent to any proposition so destructive to their interest
and so damaging to every debenture issued by the various
other railway companies of the kingdom. (Hear, hest)
All our attempts to look at the accounts are strenuously
opposed. Applications have been repeatedly made through
the Court of Chancery, and I believe I commit no breach
of faith by saying that at last an order has been made that
full and proper answers as to the mortgages of the surplus
lands be put in before next Wednesday, or the consequences
will be such as I dare not speak of. Why these denials?
—why this secrecy! (Hear, hear.) What inference can
be drawn but that the present directors will brave all
dangers rather than let the debenture holders have the full
and entire knowledge of all the past acts of the company ?
I have forgotten to draw attention to the variations
between the proposals now before us and the parliamentary
notice as advertised in the newspapers, more particularly
as to the purchase of houses and lands in the neighbour
hood of this station. Under this notice, in general terms,
any amount of money may be borrowed, any amount of
stock may be created, " for completing the lines already
authorised by parliament." There is neither limit nor
amount ; and though these questions are more strictly for
the shareholders', still that part of the notice "to autho-
rise the company to apply to the purposes of this bill their
existing funds and any moneys which they still have the
power to raise "is applicable to debenture holders. (Hear.)
I am urged by several influential bondholders to allude to
one other point, and do so under great pressure and with
great reluctance, because it is of a personal nature and most
painful to dwell upon. I allude to the secretary. (Cries of
" Hear, hear.") Of course it is conced-d that the acts of
the secretary are those of the directors, and that the
directors are responsible for such acts so long as they are
within the four corners of the act of parliament ; but if
he passes those bounds and forgets the rules of commercial
propriety, and infringes those higher laws not made by
man, then I say we can have no confidence in him, and
that every day he continues to sit at that board, the acts
of the directors are tinctured with the stains of former
transactions. (Hear, hear.) Before I sit down I have to
draw the attention of the meeting to the most serious
thing I have yet spoken of ; serious iu its effects, serious
in its complications, and serious in its consequences ; and
I believe when I have 'lone that the best thing for this
meeting to do is simply to adjourn—answers and ex-
pLuiations at the moment will only hurl us into con-
fusion. The knowledge of the facts I only made out
within the last few hours from the printed reports. On
page 25 of the printed accounts ending June 31, 1865,
metropolitan extensions (not City lines), the debentures
issued are set down as 1,640,3ffe/., while the authorized
parliamentary issue is only 1,-133,000/., showing an excess
of 213,31.1 e/. Again, in the succeeding half-year ending
Dec. 31, 18115, page 27, the amount issued is 1,673,:i58/.,
the authorized parliamentary issue being only as before,
1,433,0001., showing an excess of 240,5218/. Again on June
30, this year, page 29, the amount issued is I,firel,/483/.,
the authorized issue as before being only 1,433,000!., show-
ing the excess reduced to 123,e133/. The accounts of the
directors to June 30 show an excess of issue of 121,833/. ;
the report of the committee of investigation at the Bailie
date states the excess, page 37, as only 9,295 i. Do the
debentures still exist, or what has become of them ? I
have thought it right to bring these matters before the
meeting. It is for you, the debenture holders, to deal
with them. (Cheers.)
Mr. 1101)11RINSON explained that the discrepancy between
the two debenture accounts of 114(1 and Paili pointed out
by the last speaker arose from the fact that in the account
of the former year the whole of the common fund deben-
ture was charged in the item of 1,673,000/., while in the
latter case the proportionate amount only was charged.
Mr. lionesne said that the explanation did not meet
the case. The debenture account to which he referred was
less in 196ri than the previous year, because it had been
drawn in, and it could only have been drawn in by
taking up debentures of which they knew nothing. They
ought to have all the books sent to the Court of Chan-
cery and a thorough examination made of them.
Mr. BILLING said that having, up to the present, always
stood up for the hoard, he was sorry to nay that he must go
against them on the present occasion. because their pro-
posal was subversive of all common law rights of property,
and if carried int., effect would quite destroy confidence
and be a grievous injury to the commercial morality of
the country. (Cheers.) He did not think that parliament
itself would venture to sanction such a proposal ; and if
it did, the only effect would be that people would refuse
for the future to lend upon railway debentures, inasmuch
as they would regard such securities with the greatest
suspicion. Hitherto debentures had always been consi-
dered a first mortgage, and the proposal of the directors
was exactly the same as if the mortgagor of a house went
to the mortgagee and said to him, lam in difficulties ;
will you allow me to make another mortgage of the house
mortgaged to you, and place you in the position of second
mortgagee ? ' (Hear, hear, and cries of Good.") Such a
proposition would be made to no one but a fool. (Hear,
hear.) He admitted that money must be found to pay the
land claims and prevent the actual stoppage of the railway,
and suggested that the beat way of meeting the difficulty
would be to raise a second preference loan, the interest of
which should be paid out of the half-yearly profits after
the interest on existing debentures had been paid, such
loan to be redeemable by instalments out of surplus
profits by giving a six months' notice. He urged upon
them not to consent to so great a wrong being done as
the destruction of the sacred rights of property. (Cheers.)
Mr. Peier pointed out that no trustee in the room
could possibly consent to the proposition of the directors.
The trust deeds under which they acted would prevent
them. An act of parliament might indeed be obtained to
destroy a common law right, but until it had been no
trustee could possibly consent to such a course. (Hear,
bear.) They were deeply indebted to Mr. Hodgson, who
had obtained for them a great deal of valuable informa-
tion, and he begged to move that the committee of deben-
ture holders be authorised to confer with the directors on
their proposal that they should investigate the accounts
and report to the debenture holders the exact position of
the company's affairs on a future day, and the result of
the conference.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Few, who said be
was a large trustee, and quite coincided with the senti-
ments of the last speaker.
Mr. Scorr, who spoke amid great interruption, com-
plained that the debenture committee had come to the
meeting without any definite proposal, and asked what
other mode than that suggested by the directors could be
adopted.
Several SHAREIIOLDERN—SeII the line.
Mr. Scum said it would be a very difficult matter to
sell the line. and, moreover, if they did, it would require
9,000,000!. to pay off the liabilities upon it. To make any
such attempt would involve them in endless litigation.
As the debenture committee were not prepared to propose
anything practical, he thought the best coune would be
to assent to the proposition of the directors.
Mr. SASirDA, who spoke at considerable length, ex-
pressed his opinion that in the end the debenture holders
would be perfectly safe, notwithstanding the grass mis-
management of the line. He agreed entirely with the ob-
servations of Mr. Billings, that the proposition of the
directors was subversive of the rights of private property,
and also with the remark of the last speaker, that no
trustee could consent to such a course. He was convinced
that until the directors hail given the fullest information
to the debenture holders they would not have advanced
one iota towards the settlement of this question. He
suggested as apraeticable plan that the debenture holders
should consent to some reduction of interest, taking the
difference in deferred coupons, which might be paid out
of the surplus revenue as it accrued. No one could doubt
that a very large sum of money over the working
expenses of the line would eventually be earned, and in a
few years he had no doubt that the whole of the money
due to the debenture holders would be paid.
Mr. PFLL pointed out that if what he termed the illegal
agreements with other lines, by which a large portion of
the receipts were diverted from their proper application,
were put an end to, revenue to the amount of 55,000/. a
year would become applicable to the payment of deben-
ture interest As an instance, be quoted the oass el the
Kent Coast line, which, by virtue of an agreement with
this company, obtained not only the revenue earned upon
that portion el their line over which the Litiodco, Chatham,

and Dover Company ran, but actually a portion of the re-
ceipts earned between Victoria and Ludgate-hill.
Ilr. tlanaleos took the same line of argument, and re-
ferred to the case of the western extension, in consequence
of which, by an agreement dated in 1861, a large amount
of this company's revenue was diverted from its
objects. He could not understand how the legal advisee
of the company had ever been induced to obtain the sanc-
tion of the company to such agreements—agreements for
leases and so on—by which this company's revenues were
diverted, and he informed the meeting that when the mat-
ter was brought before the Vivi-Chancellor, he (the Vice-
Chancellor) said at once that the money so diverted must
be properly applied. The hon. proprietor also read clauses
from the acts of parliament authorising those agree
by which it appeared that the money to be paid to those
companies was to be paid out of the net profits of the un-
dertaking—and he therefore contended that until the de-
benture holders on the general undertaking were paid the
payments he had referred to were illegal.
Mr. BAITER said he never acted as the legal adviser of
this company till the last two months, and therefore was
in no way concerned in the previous transactions. It seemed
to him that the interests of the debenture holders, so far
as regarded the loss of the leases and so on, could not be in
abler hands than those of the lawyers advising the deben-
ture committee. The great question now before holders
was, how the present state of confusion could be put an
end to and the line carried on ; because it was quite patent
that until this was done the debenture holders could neither
hope to obtain principal nor interest. (Renewed cries
of " Sell the line.") He had been in the habit of attending
business meetings in the City of London for upwards of 26
years, and had always found that in times of real difficulty
and danger business men looked their difficulties boldly in the
face, encountered, and generally overcame them. (Hear,
hear.) What he would suggest was that three of the de-
benture committee, together with three of the debenture
holders, who were not represented by the Committee,
should be appointed to confer with the directors as to the
beet course which could be adopted not only to conserve
their own interests, but to improve the condition of
the company itself. (Loud cries of " Put the resolution.")
Some time was occupied in consultation between the
directors and their legal advisers, during which there was
a scene of great noise and confusion. As soon as the chair-
man could obtain a hearing he stated that the meeting
having been called simply for conference, the directors did
not contemplate the passing of any resolutions. He would,
however, read the resolution as it had been amended and
handed to Lim. It was to this effect, that the committee
of debenture holders be authorised to confer with the di-
rectors, and to request authority to investigate the accounts
and report the result to the debenture holders at a future
meeting. Of course the directors had no feeling in the
matter, because, although undoubtedly there had been a
great deal of mismanagement and irregularity, the board
were certainly not made acquainted with the real facts of
the case. Mr. Hodgson had referred to the statement
made by Sir Morton Peto at Bristol, that in 1863 Lloyd's
bonds to the amount of 1,500,000/. lard been given on the
general undertaking. He bad no knowledge of the source
from which Sir Morton Peto had obtained that informa-
tion, nor did he wish to contradict it, because he dared
say the statement was susceptible of some explanation,
but he had requested the secretary to make out a list of
Lloyd's bonds due at that time, and he found that they
did not amount to more than 320,426/.
Mr. N. Pima expressed his belief that the legislature
would never sanction raising 1,500,000/. in the mode pro-
posed by the directors, and called attention to the speech
made in the House of Lords in August last by Lord Redes-
dale, on the occasion of the application of the company
to raise a million, in which Lord Redesdale said that it
was impossible their lordships could listen to an applica-
tion the effect of which would be to divert from its pro-
per object money intended to be devoted to the payment
of interest upon debentures. If another fund were created,
Lord Redesdale added, an additional burden must be
thrown upon the company. He (Mr. Price) contended
that, if the directors had taken the speech of Lord Redes-
dale into serious consideration, they never would have
made the present proposition. He also stated that it was
not at all likely that the public would allow their money
to be expended by the mysterious influences alluded to by
Mr. Suigey as pervading the Victoria station.
(There were again loud cries of " Put the resolution,"
and there was an evident reluctance on the part of the
chairman to do so, and for nearly half-an-hour the room
presented a scene of the wildest confusion.)
Mr. HILLIARD, one of the directors, attempted to make
some explanation, but the impatience of the meeting was
such that he could not obtain a bearing. He expressed a
hope that it would be recorded that when a director was
on his lege to make an explanation in the face of such a
resolution he was not permitted to do so.
As the noble chairman still hesitated to put the resolu-
tion, the cry, became pretty geuerid to have another chair-
man, and Mr. Hodgson was requested to put the resolu-
tion. By this time the room hail become nearly dark,
shareholders were shouting and gesticulating in every
quarter, and the sirongest expressions were used against
the directors and officers while on the other hand some
two or three shareholders were frantically protesting
against the resolution being put. In the midst of this
some person at the further end of the room took upon
himself to put the resolution, and a large number of hands
was held up in its favour. The confusion, however, still
continued. At length,
The CHAIRMAN rose, and after some time succeeded In
obtaining a hearing. He said the difficulty the directors
felt was this ; they hail with great time and labour forme,'
a scheme which they considered would be beneficial to the
debenture holden and shareholders, they had invited them
to a conference upon it, but they certa'nly had not con-
templated the passing of any resolution at that meeting—
(cries of " shame, shame," "disgraceful," &c.)—atill, if
the meeting were determined to pass the resolution, he
would put it. (Hear, hear.)
A short consultation took place between Mr. Hodgson
on one side of the table, and the chairman and sonic of
the directors on the other, and the result apparently was
that some alteration was made in the wording of the reso-
lution, which was read by the noble chairman in the fol-
ios ing form :—" The debenture hollers dissenting from
the directors' scheme request that the committee," &c.
This elicited marked disapprobation, and in the course of
the confusion which ensued,
Mr. PRICE rose and stated that his resolution as finally
amended and settled between himself and the seconder,
was—" That this meeting. while disapproving of the pro-
posal of the directors, authorises the committee of deben-
ture holders to confer with the directors and to request
from them authority to investigate the accounts and report
the result to the debenture holders at a future meeting."
The CH.urWAN then put the resolution as read by Mr.
Price, and almost every hand in the room was held up in
its favour, only three hands being held up against it,
which excited the laughter and derisive cheers of the
majority.
A vote of thanks was given to the noble chairman, and
the meeting separated.

EARLY CLosING AssocisrioN. —An entertainment I
for the benefit of this body was given in the Polygraphic- I
hall, King William-street, on Friday evening last, by the
Fore-street Dramatic Society. The programme included !
Jerrold's Sutqked Mixer, and a inure serious piece by an
amateur, as well as a selection of vocal and instrumental
music, and was executed without professional assistance,
in the presence of a crowded and respectable audience,
who testitied their hearty enjoyment of the performance.
THE FEN lAN MOVEM ENT. —Tho police have ap-
prehended another person, believed to be a Fenian emissary,
in Belfast. The suspected stranger in this instance, like his
supposed colleague in Dublin, has a respectable appearance,
and is understood to have admitted being lately in the
American navy. The grounds for his arrrest have
not transpires!. The person taken in Belfast had just
landed from the Glasgow steamer, and gave the name of
DPNally. The Dublin police now walk two and two in
the suburbs at night, as they did last winter, armed, the
detectives having revolvers. It is probable that fresh ar-
rests may be made in the Irish capital. lil`Gillvray, as he
called himself, who was arrested iu Dublin after getting
cash for the •• American draft" fur :Wt., has been sent
direct to dlountjoy l'rison. The cask of bullets
found in Limerick was discovered in the house
of one artisan, who has been arrested, and some
pikes at the residence of another. The men in
custody there are named Brazil (a clerk in the establish-
ment of the city high sheriff) ; Molony, a cabinetmaker ;
two brothers Daly, lath-splitters ; Downs, a labourer ;
Brennan, last-maker; Blaney, shoemaker; O'Connor,
dealer; Kelly, gasfitter. On the facts becoming known,
much excitement prevailed in Limerick. The Enfield
rifles seized at Cork were perfectly new, and are described
as about half a foot longer than those in use in the army.
They had muzzle-stoppers, charge-screw, and an extra
supply of nipples and nipple-covers, besides several moulds
for casting conical bullets. The bayonets belonging to
them are of the ring-lock pattern. The two boxes were
described in the steamer's manifest as containing American
leather and oil-cloth. Two arrests have also been made of
persons arriving at Drogheda by steamer from Liver. I
pool. The Dublin Express states that the government'
has issued orders for the stationing of 12 gunboats off
the Irish coast. Strict directions have been given that
all fishing-boats and vessels of any kind in which Fenian
emissaries or arms and ammunition might be imported are
t( be subjected to a rigid search. The utmost vigilance is
exerted in all the porta, and we believe that the arrange-
ments made by the government for obtaining immediate
information of any inurement that may be on foot are such
as may be relied upon. The Freeman's Journal states
that all the troops comprising the Dublin garrison were
, kept under arms during Saturday night. Detachments of
, cavalry patrolled the outlying districts of the city until
daylight lest any effort should be made to interfere with
the gas. The utmost tranquillity prevailed during the
Inight, and after patrol duty the troops all returned to
I 1 their respective quarters.
