Mr. HENRY RAWSON deprecated any attack on the
engineer about his salary—that was • matter the directors
were responsilde for.
Mr. HAWILSHAW messaged his wish that the motion
should be adopted. He had already expressed his belief to
the hosed that there ens no mail. ti for his servile, a
day beyond what was neee-eary for the settlement of the
accounts. He was sorry it was thought he was responsible
for the talking of branches, or anything beyond the en-
gineniog ; sub • situation he would not be placed in, If
they would give him their railway. (Applss.4.) 11. had
never enntemclat.d remaining in their ureic.• mid had ti-
t/rested his belief that a salary of 2401. or 3031 • year would
be ample as consulting engi- eer.
After a long d scuision upon some minor matters in the
accounts, in which Mr Moweer, 11. P., deprecated the sys-
tem of share-puechasis which the company hod pursued,
that gentleman moved fur • return of the shares so pur-
chased and held by the coup toy.
The CHAIRMAN sold no new parcheees had hcen made
since November, 1844, at which time a list of the shares
held by this company was puhlishrd.
Mr. PRICE charged the board with having, at various
times, pocketed the dividend. noon thou sham s; and said
it we. only at the time when they depreeiate 1 in value that
they were thrown on the hands of the company.
The CHAIRMAN, and other members of the board, Wig-
neatly dented the assertion of Me. Pries.
Mr. MOWATI' said there was only. 42,00'1l applicable to
and be thought, when that was considered, the
self glorifying terms of the directors' report were an insult
to his undentanding. (Hear, hear.)
The report wigs subsequently adopted.
The resolution declaring the dividend having been proposed,
Mr. COATES, attorney, said before this qaestion was
put he wished to lay her ire them the case of the fitths share-
holders; end he proceeded to show the disadvantages which
it was in the power of the holders of those share, to place the
other shareholder* under by throwing the matter into
Cnanctry, and stopping the payment of all dividend for
years and years till the whole matter was r tiled. He as-
eased the directors of mating • more favosreble arrantement
with the extension shareholders than they oticinalty ob-
tained, and asked why this advantage was to be confined to
them alone. He saw by the act ante there was a b dance of
18,828 is. after paying the other charge*, and he would
advise the directors out of this surplus to pay • divi-
dend to the holders of fifths of 2 per cent., the
same al they were paying to the other clumps,
(Laughter) They might depend it would be the cheapest
money they had ever expended. At the last meeting he
knew they had referred the matter to three conceal on
each side, bat it was not to be ezpeted they could await
the agreeing of six lawyer!, and he moved • resolution to the
elect that the holders of the fifths •heres he admitted to •
dividend equal to that given to other ohereholders.
Mr. Hooter seocind.d the motion, bat the proceeding war
condemned by Mr. L and other shareholders, oa the
around that the matter had been referee I to the Attorney-
General for his opinion, end it was suggested that, should
it not be decided by that high authority, it should be referred
to • few terem-reial men.

The CHAIRMAN declined to put the motion of Mr.
Coatis, considaring it would be neoneary to co aaaaa a venal
meeting for such a wpm,.
Mr. MO WATT joined in the opinion that the beet mode
of settling ere question would be to refer it to the decision of
some tour or Ave busies's wen.

Mr. I.,REMAN euaries4d the refer.noe of the ease to the
eltairinen of the Bork of Ragland and the ehtiiman of the
