should be for the benefit of all, and which he had es•
plained in his address to the shareholders.
Mr. Ma.LINs thanked the shareholders who haq voted
for him for their support. His being in a minority
would not affect his endeavours to save the property of
the shareholders. (Cheers.)

Mr. lIATNES stated to the meeting that, in Feb. next
when, in accordance with the ordinary course of affairs,
Mr. Packe, a director, would resigii, he should move
that Mr. J. T. Norris be elected to fill the vacancy.
(Hear, hear.)

A SHAREHOLDER said that he was informed that on a
former occasion a proprietor, named Acland, attended
and addressed the shareholder.?, not only as a proprietor,
but as a paid advocate for Mr. Love.

Mr. ACLAND said the hon. proprietor had no right to
ask the question, but out of courtesy to him he would
answer it. He came there with no other purpose than
to promote the advantage of the company. If a man
was paid or not it did not affect his argument, otherwise
Christianity was in danger, because the parsons were
paid for preaching it. ("Oh, oh," and disapprobation.)
Mr. Acland said he bad not received any money for his
cervices on that occasion, nor did lie expect to do so.
The tLanlis of the meeting were unanimously awarded
