tint, to consider a resolution of the Directors to grant 30,000,
rupees to COL CAMAC ; secondl to discuss the pt•opriety of

The resolution for granting the money to Col. Cainac was
carried, after a very short discussion, with the general concur•
rence of the Court.

to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning
the II"se
