CANADA LAND COMPANY.

(MEETING THIS DAY.)

The meeting of the shareholders of the above company
has just been held, and the statement of accounts (the
substance of which we published yesterday) gave general
satisfaction. Mr. CHARLES FRANKS took the chair, and
explained the various items, and proposed a dividend of
51. per share free of income-tax for the half-year ending
the 29th May.
Mr. GEO. HIBBERT thought it imprudent to divide so
much, as a very small sum would remain to meet con-
tingencies, but
The CHAIRMAN said that the Board had taken the
subject fully into consideration, and the report and divi.
dend were therefore adopted.
