THE ARGUS LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY.

The twelfth annual meeting of this company was held
on the 7th of this month at the company's office in
Throgmorton street. Mr. Aldermen Farncomb in the
chair. The usual preliminaries having been gone
through, the report was read, from which it appeared
that the annual income of the company was 60,0001.,
which was progressively increasing—that the accumula-
tions of the Assurance Fund invested in Government
and other real securities, amounted to nearly a quarter
of a million, of which sum above 76,5001,, being the clear
surplus income, after payment of all outgoings and ex-
penses whatever, was added to the fund within the last
three years ; that the amount realised by dropped and
purchased policies within the last twelve months is
11,1761. ss. 61, and that the number of policies issued
was 5,324. The report was agreed to, and thanks
having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting sepa-
rated.

GREAT NORTH AND SOUTH
WALES RAILWAY COMPANY.
A general meeting of this Company was held yester-
day, at the London Tavern, at one o'clock.
R. HART, Esq., in opening the proceedings, stated that
he had come up to town, at very great inconvenience, to
meet the shareholders, with a view to put the state of the
affairs before them, and he was quite ready to afford all
the information the directors were possessed of.—(Hear,
hear.) In giving this information, he had to state that
the amount of the deposits was 64,2481. 10s. ld., out of
which there had been paid 1,1021. ss. Bd. for brokers'
commission, as well as 20,5211. 12s. Id. for solicitors'
bills and engineering services.—(Cries of " Shame,
shame.") In addition to this, there were liabilities still
outstanding, to the extent of 6,000/. or 7,000/. Of
these liabilities aAreat portion was for solicitors' charges,
and they were so monstrous that he could not but ex-
press his great surprise and disgust at them, and he for
one would most decidedly object to the payment of them.
—(Cries of " What are theylm " Read them.") He
(the Chairman) was quite ready to do that, for he might
state, once for all, that there was every desire to place
all the information which the directors possessed before
the meeting. These liabilities, then, consisted of the
solicitors' charges. Messrs. Bush and Mullins, 4,8841.
9s. 6d., in addition to 5,0411. 155., which they had already
received.—(Loud cries of "Shame.") Then there was a
charge of 1,0151. 2s. 2d. made by a Mr. Gar-
dener, a local solicitor, of whom he believed
Messrs. Bush and Mullins were the town agents.
There was, again, a charge of 3841. 43. 3d. from a Mr.
Lloyd, another solicitor, and still further a charge of
35/. 145., as well as 542/. 19s. Bd., with 37/. 15s. to a
person named Morgan. Then there was a further charge
of 211, 10s. for tavern bills in London; in addition to
several accounts, of which the particulars had not been
furnished.—(Loud and repeated cries of " Shame,
shame," accompanied the reading of these items.) These
were the facts of the case, and they wanted now to ob-
tain the authority of the shareholders for resisting the
payment of these solicitors' bills, and also an agreement
for the division of the funds still in hand.
A SHAREHOLDER suggested, under the circumstances,
that a committee of shareholders should be formed, to
which all the papers and documents in the possession of
the Company should be referred.
Major RICHARDSON objected to this, and stated that,
in his opinion, the better plan would be to elect seven
auditors—three on the part of the directors, and four on
the part of the shareholders—to whom, as suggested by
the gentleman who had just spoken, all the Rapers and
documents of the Company should be submitted;-and
that on their conclusions an eminent solicitor should be
employed to take the affairs and finances of the Com-
pany in band.
Mr. DAVIS suggested, before taking this course.
which appeared acceptable to the meeting, that it would
be better to obtain a pledge from the directors that the
resolution should be carried out, and recommended that
the statement of Mr. Lawrence should be heard.
Major RICHARDSON conceived that this pledge had
already been given in calling this meeting.
Mr. LAWRENCE (chairman of the committee of share-
holders) wished to remind the meeting that he and his
brother shareholders had, for nearly two months, been
engaged from day to day in investigating the affairs of
the Company; and in the course of that investigation
they had ascertained that, after the last meeting of the
shareholders, when it was agreed that the solicitors of
the Company should be dismissed, the bill of those
parties had actually increased by 1,2001. Although it
was positively understood that the Company should be
dissolved, yet the solicitors had proceeded with the Bill
before the House of Commons, and it was appointed to
be read a second time on the 6th of Mirch; but, in con-
sequence of a petition which had lain at the Hall of
Commerce till the last moment, the Bill was ultimately
postponed till the 16th, when they had upwards of forty
Members ready to speak against it. The Bill was con-
sequently withdrawn, and he believed it was mainly in
consequence of the exposure of the proceedings of this
Company that the Bill had been introduced through
which the Government intended to protect the public.
Since, however, that the business was still going on,
the directors had refused to act with them In any way.
Now, these were matters which ought to be inquired
into, as well as the further circumstance of there having
been an issue of 100,000 shares, while only 64,000 shares
had been allotted. The accounts had not yet come to
hand, but part of the documents had come into their
hands. They wanted vouchers for 1,067/. for prelimi-
nary expenses; 5261. 7s. 2d. for advertising, in addition
to 387/. 15s. In the solicitors' bill there was 5451. Its.
sd. for stationery and printing; 3121. 18s. for allot-
ment—an expense which he could not possibly under-
stand; and a still more strange item in 876/. 18s. I Id.
for the expenses of a deputation of directors into Wales,
of which 400/. was for the expenses of the solicitors on
this journey. It was evident that a sum of 26,0001. had
already been spent, and he did think that, for the
money which had been lost since the last meeting, they
should come to the resolution to stop the Company. The
committee of shareholders had taken legal advice upon
their proceedings, and had, under the advice of Mr.
Pritchard, their own solicitor, been ready to assent to a
release of the directors, but to its terms Mr. Pritchard
had objected, and it came ultimately to nothing. Now,
then, the Company were in a position to take their own
course, for he conceived the duties of the committee had
closed, and it now remained for the shareholders to act.
After much uproar, the CHAIRMAN, in reply to Mr.
Lawrence, stated that the directors had always been
ready to do all that the committee of shareholders de-
sired. But it was a matter of great difficulty to dissolve
a company, and to this day it was still unsettled whether
the directors had any such power. Within three or four
days after the adjourned meeting, the solicitors were in-
structed to lay a case before the Solicitor-General,
giving them authority at the same time to petition the
Committee of Standing Orders. The opinion of the So-
licitor-General was not obtained until about a fortnight
afterwards ; indeed, it was from the 11th of February
to the 10th of March ; and it was for the Parliamentary
expenses, for which Messrs. Bush and Mullins had
charged, that he conceived that no payment ought to be
made. - He had himself come up 150 miles for the very
purpose of carrying the resolution into effect, and
he could but express his surprise at the information
which he had received on reaching London, that the Bill
had in fact been read a first time, and had been reported
favourably upon, and was proceeding to the second
reading. He had been exceedingly desirous of dissolv-
ing the Company, but the resolution had been negatived
by a majority of four against two. Of one thing subse-
quent experience had convinced him, viz., that the soli-
citors ought to have been dismissed.
The Chairman was here interrupted by cries of" Ques-
tion," and a reference to the resolution, with great uproar.
Mr. HOPGOOD stated that he could assert .upon the
authority of Mr. C. Hanbury, the secretary, that the first.
balance sheet submitted by the directors had not been
prepared by him, and that it was full of the grossest
errors, and that the advertisement which intimated that
the accounts were all paid was totally false. Throughout
the whole of the management there had been the most
grievous misdirection. Then, with regard to the sum
charged for the deputation into Wales, there was one
thing so monstrous that he could not but state it. This

Company. In doing this he exonerated Mrßobinson,
Mr. Russell, the Hon. Mr. Howard, and Mr. Hart; from
all of whom but the last he had obtained letters to jus-
tify the proceedings for dissolving the Company, in
which the committee of shareholders had been opposed
by their coanter-statement, got up by the old solicitors
of the Company. The directors present were, he be-
lieved, quite ready to act honourably, but the difficulty
was, that after the meeting had resolved, the directors

Major RICHARDSON explained that nothing was fur-
ther from his intention, for he had been one of the corn-
mitte himself, but his proposion was made for the pur-
pose of binding the directors more closely.
Mr. COURTENAY proposed that the auditors should be
elected equally by the meeting and the directors, with a
referee, who should have power to decide all differences.
Mr. LoN-GmonTa, who represented the holders of 162
shares at
eaermarthen, Wished to know whether, in the
eventthe resolution being passed, the directors

The CHAIRMAN was quite ready to do so himself, but
he could not answer for the other directors. With re-
spect to the second question, the directors were ready to
divide I 1 s. in the pound, retaining a sufficient sum in
hand to meet the liabilities.
The CHAIRMAN then read the resolution proposed by
Major Richardson, to the effect that auditors should be
whom
•
appointed, four by the committee of shareholders, and
all documents,
three by the directors, toeluding the books,and papers should be laid before, in
applica-
tions for shares; and that they be instructed to require

the directors to convene a general meeting for the pur-
pose of receiving their report.
Mr. RICHARDSON then moved his amendment, to
which Major Richardson acceded, and it was put as an
original motion, which, after much interruption, and
several vague propositions from different parties, was put
to the meeting, when Major Richardson altered his mind.
His motion was about to be put, as previously stated,
after an alteration by Mr. Davis, but he again withdrew
it, and Mr. Courtenay's motion, after Mr. Davis's alter-
ation, was then before the meeting as an amendment.
The amendment was carried.
It was then moved by Mr. LONGMORE, that such share-
holders as should be ready to receive the dividend should
have the option of doing so, and inquired what course
the directors intended to pursue?
The CHAIRMAN said that while the directors were
ready to do justice to the shareholders, they would pro-
tect themselves.
Mr. RUSSELL then again went into the accounts, and
in doing so he observed, that of the large sum of 26,0001.,
the solicitors' bills were 11,1351., the expenses of engineer-
ing were 10,0001., which, with other expenses entirely
beyond control, made the sum of 23,637/, leaving the
whole of the sum for which the directors were respon-
sible 3,000/. He was anxious to get honestly and
honourably out of the affair.
Mr. Longmore's resolution was put, after an explana-
tion from the Chairman, to the effect that it would inter-
fere with the duties of the auditors, and was carried
almost unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then stated that he had done his duty
in putting the resolution, but he was bound to say, that
in his capacity as a director, he could not recommend the
board to acquiesce in it. Neither could he recommend
them to acquiesce in Mr. Davis's motion, for he con-
cie ied it unfair. He made that statement in order that
the :meeting might not be deceived with false antici-
pations.

It was ultimately agreed that the dividend of 11s.
should be paid, and a release of the directors signed.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman and the Share-
holder's Committee, and this most tumultuous assemblage
separated.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE
BRANDLING JUNCTION RAILWAY.
SOUTH SHIELDS, MONDAY NIGHT.—The circum-
stances attending the appalling accident on the Branding
Junction Railway have been fully investigated by the
manager of the line, but the result does not clearly indi-
cate the immediate cause of the engine running off the
line. It appears the train had just passed over a switch,
which had been locked overnight, the man in charge of
it being standing near it when the train passed, and from
the state in which it was found immediately after the
accident, it clearly could have in no way contributed to
throw the engine off the line. The engine seems to have
gone off just after taking the curve; and, as soon as the
engineman discovered this he shut off the steam and
reversed the motion of the engine, which ran about 60
yards in the same direction in which the train had been
going, and then turned off down the embankment, which
is skirted by a wall about 15 feet high, a row of pit- houses
running parallel with the wall, a few feet from it, the
tree-fall being about the same height; and over this wall
the engine plunged, toppled over, and descended end-
ways through the roof, the engineman being thrown
some feet into the air, and alighting on that portion of
the roof which remained unbroken, from which he slid to
the ground beside the engine, and was severely scalded
by the steam which escaped. The fireman was also
thrown upon the roof, but escaped with comparatively
trifling injury.
The row of houses is very densely populated with the
families of pitmen, employed at the St. Hilda colliery,
but in that into which the engine fell there were but two
elderly women, the nature of whose injuries has been
already described. The leg of one is broken, but not by
the engine falling upon it, as was at first supposed,
though she was very near it, and had a narrow escape
from being crushad to atoms beneath the ponderous mass.
She is also much scalded. Her leg has, however, been
set, amputation not having been considered necessary,
and she is doing well. The other woman is dreadfully
scalded, but a manifest improvement has taken place in
her symptoms during the course of the day, and hopes are
now entertained that she will survive. Favourable re-
ports have also been received of the other sufferers. The
man who was riding outside the carriage, and had his
legs broken, is a stonemason belonging to Sunderland.
It is impossible to arrive at any certain information as to
the extent of injury received by the passengers, but there
is reason to believe that it is trifling, considering the na-
ture of the accident. The train consisted of eight
carriages, five of which were dragged off the line, but not
off the road, the chain between the first carriage and the
tender having, fortunately, broken.
As soon as the accident occurred a horse express was
sent off to Gateshead, and in little more than an hour
the manager and a number of the assistants were on the
spot, having started by a special engine immediately on
receiving the intelligence; and it is but justice to state
that everything humanity could suggest was promptly
done to afford relief to the unfortunate sufferers. The
accident occurred so near to Shields that there was no
necessity to forward the train; and, indeed, most of the
passengers left it as soon as they could, or remained only
to render assistance if it were required. Hundreds of
persons were soon collected. Indeed, the inmates of the
neighbouring houses rushed out in consternation, the
place having been shook as if by an earthquake. There
were not wanting those who hastened to the point of
danger, and by their prompt exertions rescued those
who were in peril ; and every home offered an asylum.
The medical gentlemen of the town were speedily on the
spot, and acted with the greatest coolness, decision, and
promptitude.
The engine still remains where it fell, and it has been
found necessary to pull down two adjoining houses, in
order to effect its removal. Indeed, it cannot be removed
entire, but must be taken to pieces, repaired, and re-
built. The line has been repaired, and the trains run as
usual

MANSLAUGHTER at PLYMOUTH.
There has been a great deal of excitement here, owing
to Mr. Edmonds, the coroner, having issued his warrant
for the exhumation of the body of a woman, Rebecca
Wyatt, the wife of a beer-shop keeper, living in Lower-
lane, who had been buried more than three months. The
house kept by the deceased and her husband was a very
low one, being used as a brothel as well as a public-
house, and, as is common in such cases, the man and
his wife lived a very miserable life together, frequently
getting drunk and fighting in a disgraceful manner.
It appeared from the evidence adduced at the inquest,
which was begun on Wednesday, that on the 21st of
December last the husband of the deceased quarrelled
with her, and struck her several times. She then ran into
the wash-house, and took up a piece of wood to defend
herself with ; but he got hold of it and struck her over
the face so severely, that he knocked out three of her
teeth. The injuries were so severe that she was con-
fined to her bed in a condition of great suffering till her
death, which occurred on the Ist of January. Mr.
Giles, a surgeon, was called in on the 28th, and he
continued to attend her till her death, when he gave the
_usual certificate, that she had died frOm effusion on
the chest and head. Both the coroner and the
jury strongly reprobated this conduct of the sur-
geon, and in order to ascertain if possible the cause
of death, the inquest was adjourned till Thursday
afternoon, at five o'clock, to give time for a post
mortem examination by Mr. Freeman, another surgeon.
On Thursday evening the jury again assembled, and
Mr. Giles having given evidence as to the identity of the
body, Mr. Freeman described its appearance, stating
that the face was greatly decomposed, and that there was
a great quantity of extravasated fluid blood in the right
cavity of the lung, the jaw-bone had been severely
bruised, and several of the teeth forced out of their
sockets. Mr. Freeman added, that if he had been called
in as a medical. man to attend such a case, and the
woman had died, he should most decidedly have felt it

She died as they were conveying her to the farm

little tape and thread which were found beside her, that she
had obtained her livelihood by selling these things through
the country. She had been on her way over the mountains
from Argyleshire to Glenlyon, and had been overtaken by the
snow storm of Friday night, and becoming bewildered and
exhausted, she sunk under it. The marks of blood which
led to the discovery arose from her sorely lacerated feet,
which were torn and bleeding profusel y from her rugged and
toilsome travel. She was decently buried in Glenlyon, where
her boy, who has entirely recovered, is still domiciled.—
