The proceedings at the meeting of the shareholders
of the Credit Foncier have not tended to increase
the confidence of the Daily Nam is the manner in
which shareholders manage their property. It is
to be regretted that the proposal made by one of
the shareholders for the appointment of • committee
of inquiry was ruled by the chairman to be out of
order, and that it could not therefore be put to the meet-
ing. and it is equally to be regretted that the late
chairman should have allowed a verdict to go against him
by default of appearance, instead of attending to give
explanation' to the shareholders on the points which were
specially animadverted on as affecting his past manage-
ment of the undertaking. Assuming the statements made
at the meeting to be correct, it would appear to be only
reasonable and just that the directors shoultirecoup to the
company the money received by them.
