Meeting was in fact a condonation of the nu•
merous errors of the company, a confiscation of preference
bonds into ordinary shares, and a legalisation of all the
fraudulent leases that had been entered into, He seconded
the amendment for the adjournment.
Mr. MORRIS said he had the greatest confidence in his
friend Mr. Watkin, and he looked upon the motion for ad-
journment as an attempt to get rid of the question as to
the approval or non-approval of the act by a side wind.
Mr. WATRIN, in obedience to a general call, addressed
the meeting, and entered into a lengthened statement of
the circurngances connected with his visit to Canada. He
said, when he first arrived in that country there appeared
to be but one feeling in the minds of interested parties wi h
respect to the Grand Trunk Railway—(hear, hear)—and
that was to do all that was possible to make the railway
a wreck, in order to take advantage of such a circumstance. I
There was no doubt that was the feeling, and it was a work
of some difficulty to defeat so unjust an attempt, but he
felt gratified at the manner in which his acts had been ap.
proved of by those whose good opinion he valued. (Hear.)
The act before them was no work of his own ; it was the
embodiment of the ideas of the shareholders present at
the meeting at which it was considered expedient that
he should visit Canada. When he first arrived at
the .Grand Trunk Railway he found everything in the
greatest disorder, even the wages of the porters were in
arrear, but by patience and perseverance that state o

things had been altered. Now everything required for
the railway was paid for delivery, and the credit of the con-
cern had been recovered, and it now stood as well as any
undertaking in Canada. He then referred to the negotia •
tions he had taken part in with respect to the Government
of Canada relative to the postal subsidy, to which the com-
pany had the most perfect right, and went on to remark
that he took upon himself the responsibility of recom-
mending the meeting to assent to the Act which had been
proposed to them that day. (Hear, hear.) He paid a
high compliment to the honour and judgment of Mr. Jus-
tice Draper, to whom the arbitration of the difference had
been referred, and concluded by saying that he felt confi-
dent that the interest of the shareholders and the honour of
Canada would be saved, and that what had been looked
upon as bad faith would be found to have arisen from a
misunderstanding. The hon. gentleman concluded his
observations amidst loud applause.

The motion of Mr. CRAWFORD accepting the Act was
Put to the meeting and carried almost unanimously. The
amendment was withdrawn.

At the suggestion of Mr. WATXIX, to prevent any legal
difficulty in Canada, a poll was taken with the same result.
A resolution, to the effect that the legal management of
the affairs of the company be henceforward carried on in
England, was carried unanimously.
Another resolution was also agreed to, warmly thanking
Mr. Watkin for the services he had rendered the company
during the last 12 months.
Thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings.
