♦fter our report left yesterday,

Lord HARRIS said that since the culmination of the dif-
ficulties of this company, the directors had been in a state
of protracted agony. Their first desire had been to get
the interest upon the debentures paid and up to the 30th
June they hoped that they ebould have succeeded
in their endeavours. Unfortunately they found that
the terms upon which alone they could ob-
tain the necessary funds would have been perfectly
ruinous to the company, and they were therefore com-
pelled to postpone the payment of that interest. They
did not refuse to risk their private fortunes, as far as their
small means would go, but they found that that made no
difference, sad that they could not raise the sums which
were required without placing the concern in such a posi-
tion as must lead to a thorough collapse. They therefore
thought it better to trust to the forbearance of the deben-
ture holders, and to the adoption of means by which
they hoped that eventually the interest might be paid. He
believed that if par ent had given them the powers
which they sought they might not only have paid that
interest, but might have avoided much of the expense and
trouble which was still before them. The director' were
most anxious for the appointment of an entirely indepen-
dent committee, who should thoroughly examine the state
of affairs and make • complete report to the proprietary.
Mr. Bergey had proposed a committee which he
believed would do all that was required, and the only
fault which he had to find with that gentle-
man's remarks referred to what he had said about
contractors' lines. He doubted very much whether this
line, from which benefit had accrued to the public
and would he trusted ultimately accrue to the
shareholders would have been constructed, if it had
not been for the contractors. (Hear, hear.) He believed
that these metropolitan extensions ware justified in policy
and would ultimately prove highly remunerative, and upon
this point be was able to give an independent opinion
because they were all projected before he joined the
board. There was one humiliaticn which until within
the last four or five days he hoped that they had
escaped, but quite recently the directors had discovered
that there had been an over-issue of debentures upon the
City line to the extent of 128,000/.—(cries of "Shame")
—owing to the failure of the contractors, Messrs. Pete,
Bette, and Crampton, to redeem, as they had undertaken
to do, old debentures to that amount. This was a most
painful announcement for him to make, both as regarded
the board itself and the contractors • but he felt it due to
the latter to state that they had exerted themselves most
earnestly to complete the works and promote the interests
of the company.
A SHAREHOLDER asked what TM the name of the officer
with whose knowledge the extra debentures were issued
A Voice—Who committed the forgery?
Mr. BAITER, parliamentary agent, the legal adviser of
the company, said that he had examined the detail of this
matter, and at the request of Lord Harris he would state
exactly what were the facts. The company had
issued about 1,300,0001. of debentures. These were
originally pledged as securities for loans, and were
then redeemed as the money of the public came in and
new debentures were issued to those who subscribed for
them. The amount of debentures issued upon the City
line was 330,0001., and although the money bad been paid
to them for that purpose the contractors had failed to re-
deem 128,0001. of these when the new debentures were
issued. (" Shame, shame.")
Mr. VALENTINE KNIGHT recommended forbearance on
the part of all the creditors of the company, and suggested
that the debenture holders should consent to capitalise
their interest for one year, and should take bonds at 5 per
oent. for ten years upon condition that after the first year
the interest should be regularly paid. (Loud cries of "No
no," from the galleries.)
Mr. Scorn supported the appointment of the committee.
A Deeeteruag Houma was not satisfied with the pre-
sence upon the committee of one or two holders of deben-
tures. He desired the appointment of a separate com-
mittee of debenture holder., to act separately from,
although in co-operation with, the committee of share-
holders.
Lord HARRIR said that the debenture holders could not
loyally make any alteration in the amendment, but they
might, at a meeting of their own. appoint a committee,
which might be placed in communication with that now to
be elected.

Mr. Sundry said that the shareholders' committee
would be only too anxious to give to a committee of deben-
ture holders so appointed any information in their power.
A DIBENTVEZ Hownit asked whether the directors
could say positively that there had been no over-issue of
debentures beyond the 128,0001. ; and whether, until those
debentures were redeemed, the City line was not in the
hands of Sir S. M. Peto and Co. as first mortgagees, who
could sell the land and rolling stock, and leave to the
other debenture-holders only the undertaking from which
to pay themselves if they could.
The Citeinicxx said that the directors were satisfied
that upon the whole undertaking there had been no over
issue of debentures beyond the 128,0001.
Mr. BAXTER said there was no mortgage upon the line.
The fact was that the 128,0001. of debentures which were
pledged were the legal debentures. (Several Voices :
Then we have the illegal ones?") The first issue was the
legal debentures, and the 128,0001. last issued were the
over issue or illegal ones. The company would be bound
to pay back that 128,000/. with lawful interest, but the
parties who held the last issued debentures did not
the rights of debenture holders. (Cries of " Scan=
Scandalous.") . . .

A DEBINTUBI Houma asked whether the directors were
not personally liable, and suggested that perhaps Sir
Morton Pete could throw acme light upon the matter.
(Cries for Sir S. M. Peto, who occupied a seat upon the
platform.)
Mr. BAXTER said that the parties who were liable for the
128,00 W. over issue were the company who received the
money, and were bound to pay it back.
Mr. Pains called attention to the circumstance that
before the committee of the House of Lords upon Railway
Companies' Borrowing Powers, Mr. Horace Lloyd stated,
in reply to questions from Lord Oversteps, that it was
doubtful whether over-issued debentures would not be
legally available, because it was difficult to ear-mark them
which were in exams • and even if the issue weelheld to be
nitre Dire., the directors would be personally liable. (Loud
cheers.)

In accordance with renewed demands,
Sir S. M. Puri) rose to address the meeting. He said
that the facts of the case, as regarded the over-
issue of debentures, were these : In she first
instance, • loan was obtained at the request of the
directors upon the :=3,000/. debentures for the purposes
of the company, and for this loan his firm made
them-
selves liable by giving as securities their promissory notes
in addition to the debentures. When it ppppesaa desira-
ble to the board the debentures were placed with the
public to the whole amount, and upwards of 200,0001. was
received by his firm from the company, and a. to the
redemption of debentures. When the 1230 ~ which
had been mentioned by the noble vice-chairman, was re-
ceived there were outstanding other engagements of the
company for which his firm was liable in the same way
that they were for the loan upon the debentures. The
company was unable to meet those liabilities. and his firm
were compelled to take the 128,0001. referred to to discharge
them. Some time had to elapse before the loan upon the
original debentures matured, and they were perfectly
justified in believing that they should be able out of
the large sums which were owing to them by the company
to provide for the redemption of these obligations. As far
as the company was concerned not a single shilling of
additional indebtedness had been contracted. The trans-
action was no doubt irregular, but had it not been for •
contingency which had since occurred, no inconvenience
would have resulted from it. As far as the company. was
concerned no damage had resulted, because every angle
penny of the money that should have goue to the re-
demption of these debentures had been expended in pity-
ing other debts which did not arise in connexion with the
works of the contractors. He exceedingly regretted the
irregularity of the transaction—(" oh, oh," and laughter)
—but they must be aware that the enormous liabilities
which his firm undertook with regard to the obligations
of the company from time to time placed them in
.posi-
thaw. of peculiar difficulty ; and at this particular juno-
tore they had no alternative but either to collapsethem-
selves, the company collapsing with them, or to take the
course that they did. He could show that no damage had re-
sulted to the company. No director or officer of the ann.
pony was cognisant of what was done, and if blame at-
tached to any one that blame he was prepared to bear.
A SILkitEHOLDER naked whether there were any Lloyd's
bonds in existence?

Mr. JOHNSON, the secretary, said that a balance of 3,6001.
in respect of steamboats was still outstanding. The di-
rectors had given to their engineers sealed acknowledg-
ments of indebtedness which, though not in form Lloyd's
bonds, were very similar in character, to the amount of
24,0001. They were under obligation to Mr. Churchward,
in connexion with the taking over of the steamboat service
at Paver, for 7,000/. a year up to 1870, and in respect of
that liability Mr. Churchward held sealed acknowledg-
ments of the company. Upon the Victoria improvements
certain works had bean constructed which were not con-
templated in the contract, or when the power to raise
capital was applied for, such as the rooting over the rails
between Victoria station and the bridge, the carriage

.1866,

sheds, k.c., and for these Works acknowledgments had
been Issued to the extent of something like 20,0001.
A DEBENTURE HOLDER wished to know who had charge
of the seal of the company when the over issued debentures
were sealed?
Mr. Moreau's, a debenture holder, while su=
the appointment of the committee, as proposed,
he could not understand Sir S. M. Peto's explanation, and
thought that some one in the company unit have known
what had been done. _ . - . . -

Another Deorsrunz HOLD= complained that as late as
the 25th or 28th July, or some day between those dates,
Mr. Baxter informed him that there bad been no over
issue of debentures.
Mr. BAIT= said he bad only stated what he was told
by Mr. Forbes was the case.
la reply to the question as to how the seal of the eon-
posy came to be affixed to the debentures issued in excess
of the amount authorised by parliament, be stated that
when the debentures were issued they were issued en
maser, and a loan was raised upon them. When money
came in from the public, just as when debentures were re-
newed, fresh debentures were issued to the rubseribers.
and the money was handed over to the contractors to re-
deem the old instruments. This was the ordinary practice
of railway companies.
In answer to loud Wks of " Forbes, Forbes,"
Mr. FOllllB said that Mr. Baxter had correctly repre-
sented the circumstances attending this over-issue of de-
bentures. When he informed Mr. Baxter that there had
been no issue in excess of the parliamentary powers, he
stated what he believed to be the case, and no ens wee
more astounded than he was when this disoovery was
made. (A laugh.) His business was to administer the
traf c. of the company, and be bad nothing to do with the
isms or redemption of debentures.
Mr. JORNBON (who was also loudly called for before he
rose) said that gentlemen present appeared to be unaware
that Messrs. Peto, Bette, and Crampton had acted for the
company in the double capacity of contractors and finan-
ciers. (Loud cries of " Oh, oh," especially from the galle-
ries.) All the monetary concerns of the company had been
managed by them. All the money which was required to
take up the debentures, originally trued en maw, peered
through their hands, and out of 1,360,0001. they had failed
to redeem only 128,0001. In order to obtain money to re-
deem the original debentures it was neaessry to issue new
ones to the publics. The money so obtained was handed
to the contractors. They redeemed 1,200,0001. ; but at a
very critical time they diverted to the general purposes of
the tempi:714128,0001., which ought to have been applied
to the s moos of redeeming debentures. (Several
voioes, 'lt is disbonsst. It is a fraud.") No one con-
nected with the company knew anything of that appro-
priation of this money, nor were any of the directors aware
of the failure to redeem the debentures until within the
last two or three days: (Cries of " Then they ought.")
The CHAIRMAN having put the question, the amendment
proposed by Mr. Burry, for the appointment of a *mi-
nutiae of investigation, was unanimously agreed to.
The proceedings tennimuted with a vote of thanks to
Lord Sondes for his eandast as chairman of the meeting.

HOP AND MALT EXCHANGE AND WAREHOUSE
COMPANY.

The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of
a new building belonging to the above company was per-
formed yesterday, in Southwark-street, Borough, by Sr
Brook W. Bridges, Bart., M.P., in presence of a concourse
of people, including Mr. Ogilvy, Mr. Dyer, Mr. Conybeare,
Mr. Addis, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Humphreys (directors),
Mr. Slater (the manager), Mr. H. Duke (secretary), Mr.
Moore (the architect) ; and many other gentlemen inte-
reeled in the hop and malt trade.
The preparations for fixing the stone having been made,
Sir Brook Bridges addressed a few observations to the
company, saying that he had been introduced to this
association by Hr. Ogilvy, who was one of the directors of
the Great Western Railway ; and he had been requested
to perform this important work in consequence of his
connexion with one of the districts it was the object of
the company to serve. Before accepting this responsible
duty he had given the matter the fullest consideration ;
and he had every reason to believe that the result would
be benefice' to the public at large, as well as to that por-
tion of the community who were interested in the growth
and consumption of hope. Amongst the articles deposited,
as usual, within the foundation stone, was a bottle con-
taining the prospectus of the company which had been
previously read aloud by the secretary. It stated that the
capital of the company amounted to 120,0001. in 12,000
shares of 101. each, bearing interest at six per cent. during
the period of construction. The site of the building was
at the corner of High-street, Borough, with a frontage of
320 feet in New Southwark•street, and an area of 26,000
square feet, with • separate entrance in Pariectraet,
in the rear of the Borough Market. The Ex-
change would be opposite the new buildings of
the Hop Planters' Association, and in the immediate
vicinity of • large number of offices whose owners are
interested in the trades intended to be advanced. It
was expected that, when the building was completed, the
return would not be less than 20 per cent. on the outlay ;
and as an instance of the IRMO= of similar institutions
it might be stated that the original dames of the Corn
Exchange of 1001. each are now worth 1,3501., and it was
difficult to obtain them at that value. The ceremony of
laying the stone being brought to a close, the party eat
down to a dejeuner prepared en a tent on the waste ground
by Mears. Bertram and Roberts, of the Crystal Palace,
Sr Brook Bridges, Bart, M.P., occupying the chair. In
proposing Success to the Hop and Malt Exchange, the
hon. baronet said that the promoters of this undertaking
had not considered their own benefit alone, nor the desired
return for the sum of money they had invested, but
they had considered whether the project was likely to be of
service to the public, and more especially to thatportion of
the public whose immediate interests had been consulted.
Up to this time they had been without any special place
where hop-growers and consumers could meet for the par-
wee of conducting their business operations, and much
difficulty and misrepresentation often arms regard to
the quality of the hops which came into the market. The
hops had been scattered in different buildings, and it
would at once be seen that much advantage must neces-
sarily arise from • system which secured a concentration
and unity of interests. Mr. Ogilvy returned thanks on
behalf of the company, and the health of the chairman
having been proposed and enthusiastically responded to,
the entertainment was brought to a close.
