THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1848.

ties whom he was convinced were not in a position to
pay. He was a large shareholder himself, and had
paid up all his calls.

After some further discession,

Colcnel WARREN trusted that the shareholders
would come forward and pay up their calls. There
were some items in the account to which he objected,
but looking upon the matter as a whole, he thought
the directors had done all they could. His belief was
that the line would ultimately be most beneficial to
the shareholders.
Mr. DAVIDSON, one of the directors, trusted that
the shareholders would appoint a committee to look
into the affairs of the company, and point out some
means of carrying them effectively into operation.
Several shareholders said they did not desire the
appointment of any committee, or wish to impugn
the conduct of the directors ; all they complained of
was, that the directors had been too lenient.
The CHAIRMAN said that, in future, it was the de-
termination of the directors to enforce the payment of
calls or forfeit the shares. In cases where parties
were solvent legal proceedings would be taken against
them immediately upon the commencement of the
term.

The report was then adopted, ordered to be printed,
and circulated among the proprietors.
A PROPRIETOR suggested that the names of the
defaulting shareholders should be published. He
believed, if such a course was adopted, it would in-
duce many to pay their calls that otherwise would
not do so. _ _

A resolution requesting the directors to give im-
mediate instructions to their solicitor to enforce the
payment of all arrears of calls that are not paid by
the Ist of November, was proposed, seconded, and
carried, after a short discussion.
Mr. BARKLY, M.P., one of the directors, had the
greatest hopes that the company would participate in
the 500,0001. loan, notwithstanding the letter that
had been received from Earl Grey.
The meeting was then made special, for the purpose
of considering and deciding upon the expediency of
applying to the Legislature of British Guiana for an
Act to amend the Act by which the company was in-
corparted by reducing the capital of the company
from 250,0001. to 175,0001.
Resolutions were proposed, seconded, and carried
fir effecting this purpose, and enabling the directors
to borrow money.
Thanks were voted to the chairman and directors,
and the meeting broke up.
