dividend to the ordinary stockholders, although there
is reason to believe all the existing preference stocks

ability to prevent further mischief. Finally, the
committee speak in favourable terms of Mr. Owen,
the secretary, and the officers of the establishment
generally, and add that they, the committee, pro-
vided they can be assured of the full confidence of
the proprietary, will be willing to accept the re-
sponsibility of undertaking its administration as
directors.
