Sir A. Planter? (Counsel to the flank) resisted
ilia motion as au improper interference with the

Mr. IVINTUORTE said, that when the 1/ per cent
was given, it was by no means intentttol or consi-
dered as a permanent divide-lid, hot as a temporary
Bonus of 5 per Cent., added to the regular dividend
