dend to be paid, deducting income-tax, on the sth of
March next.
An amendment was moved and seconded, that the
dividend be declared after the rate of seven per cent.
A, ,lengthy debate ensued, in which the Hon. Mr.
Brown iciroduced the subject of the non-payment of
calls; that gentleman having sent a notice to the secre-
tary• that he: should bring the matter forward. He
urged the desirability of the chairman announcing to the
meeting the amount of calls in arrear.
The Crtarraiert said there was no difficulty about
stating what were the arrears. They amounted to
400,0001., 123,0001. of which had only just been called,
no that they might be taken at 280,0001. As to en-
forcing the payment of calls, unless absolutely necessary,
be would not be the party to sue proprietors, because
there-were many gentlemen quite competent and yet not
in a position to pay a call on the precise day named.
The question of the amount of dividend was then put,
and the amendment was negatived by a large majority.
The CHAIR3IAN then moved that the original New-
castle and Berwick 25/. ses, and the
ch North Shields
purchase 251. shares, in har
respect of whi the whole
money subscribed has been called for
tank d paid up, be
consolidated into the general capital s of OLU•
parry, from the 2d of April next, and be divided amongst
the several proprietora according to their respective in-
terests therein.
This resolution, as well as one authorising the seal of
the company to be affixed to the petition alluded to, in
she report, was carried unanimously.
Mr. Ald. Jas. Richardson and Mr. Tee were re-elected
directors, and Mr. Barstow as auditor.
The meeting was then constituted special for the con-
sideration of the drafts of three Bills proposed to be ap-
plied for during the present session, and they were all
agreed to, with the understanding that those referring
to-the leasing of the Newcastle and Carlisle, and the
Ilaryport and Carlisle should be made permissive. The
third Bill authorised the construction of certain branches
in tile counties of Northumberland and Newcastle.
Mr. THOMPSON, of Sheriff_ Hutton Park, then came
forward, and during much noise and confusion, endea-
voured to get a hearing. He said he was not aware at
the time of the names of the committee having been put
to the meeting; bat he should certainly claim to propose
that the names of Mr. Forsyde and Mr. Gibson, of Edin-
burgh, be added to the list.
Mr. 'MARTINEAU thought that as a good many share-
holders had left the room since the resolution was carried,
it would not be right to alter it now.—(Applause.)
Several shareholders suggested this was not the pro-
per time for any such motion; and ultimately the motion,
being irregular, was not put.
Zr. M A RTINEAU moved a vote of thanks to the chair-
men, which was carried, and the business was closed at
about a quarter to three.
