The CHAIRMAN, in moving the resolution approv-
ng the agreement, said it was not new to the pro-
prietors, inasmuch as the fact of an agreement exist-
ing between this company and the South-Eastern
Company had been often mentioned. The agree-
ment had been in operation for some considerable
time, and had been acted upon, but it was now
drawn up in legal form, so that each company
should be secured by it in permanence. They had
had considerable experience in the working of the
plan, and they had adopted it with a view to
economy, and he beaved it would continue to be
of great use to them. it had the advantage of pre-
'b► serious competition at certain points, which
was to be avoided, as it might lead to disastrous
results. He thought it was an advantageous agree-
ment for them. They had gone into every point of
it in an impartial spirit, and the directors believed
that it was fair and equitable. He then moved a
formal resolution approving the agreement.
Sir IL CARDEN seconded the motion.

Mr. HAMILTON, who it was understood was largely
interested in the South-Eastern Company, advo-
cated the rejection of the agreement on the ground
that it would be injurious to the interests of the
South-Eastern Company, and consequently- very
beneficial to the Chatham Company. He then
appealed at considerable 'length to the good feeling
of the proprietors to reject an agreement which
avould, give them a great advantage over their neigh-
bours, the South-Eastern Company.
Mr. REES and other shareholders expressed their
impatience at the long statement of Mr. Hamilton.
The CHAIRMAN was desirous that every share-
holder should be heard, and he hoped they would
listen to the strong arguments of Mr. Hamilton in
favour of their adoption of the agreement, although
he asked them to reject it.

Mr. HARTRIDGE thought that liberty of speech
should be allowed to every shareholder until the
chairman objected; at the same time he appealed
to Mr. Hamilton as to whether he had not already
said enough on the subject.
Mr. HAMILTON moved as an amendment that the
agreement be rejected, but, as it was not seconded,
he entered his protest against tfie motion.

Mr. SURGEY considered it a fair and honourable
agreement, and believed it would be beneficial to
both companies. The deputy-chairman of the South
Eastern Company had stated at the last meeting of
that company that he hoped the agreement would be
a bond of perpetual peace between the two com-
panies, and he (Mr. Surgey) hoped that it would be
so. He had a large amount of proxies, and would
vote for the motion.

Mr. HARTRIDGE thought the agreement was the
best thing the directors had ever done for the com-

pany. It would work well between the companies
and the public ; but he thought it would be much
more to the Chathain Company than the South-
Eastern, although the latter would benefit in some
degree. It was a step in the direction of a union
between the two companies, and he thought it would
lead to that result.

The resolution was then carried, there being only
one dissentient.

On the motion of Mr. REES, thanks were voted to
the chairman and directors, and the proceedings
terminated.
