Ralph, Buchannan, Smith, Brooks, Andus, Bate °
Ellis, and Heaton.

Mr. THOMAS FIELDEN seconded Ura motion.
An amenini«nt was then moved by Mr. WILLOSII
of Chester, and seconded by Mr. MACVICAH, that 10j
following gentlemen should form the ten who silo&
remain on the board, with four others, to sit ex ojfi
Messrs. Anderton, Gill, Hatton, Marshall, bloxol4
Ralph, Smith, Stuart, Wickham, Wilson; and the
following gentlemen ex officio, Andus, Hornby,
most, Radcliffe.

Mr. BROADBENT, a director, complained of the sblIP
fling manner in which the business had hitherto bee°
conducted by the board, and said he would vote f°l
Mr. Mowatt's motion, believing that he would Pr!
pose a list of gentlemen who would be of the great
service to the company.
Mr. MOWATT then proceeded to state his reasl
for objecting to various members of the board.
would take Mr. Gill, as one of the gentlemen reprt
seating the old board of management from the nog
mencement, and would therefore state his objectil
to him. Ho had always been actively connected 01
the line, and consequently instrumental in producil
the present lamentable deterioration in the value.,
their property. For some years, however, hell:
'out of Manchester; but, on his return lj
1848, he found that the rate of divider::
had decreased from 8 to 6 per cent. This excee°
ingly dissatisfied Mr. Gill, and he then took the affsf
very much into his own hands, and made au attempt tv
reform matters. In fact, he and Mr. W. Entwltieij
were very desirous to have the sole and unlirai
control of the management. They had produced
decline in the value of the property to the extent
,v;
four-fifths, and they had made his (Mr. AlowattO
50,0001. worth only some 10,0001. It was not likell;
therefore, that he should submit to such a systeal:
management longer.--(Hear, bear.) But Mr.
after reducing the value of the company's propertP
and no doubt his own at the same time, wished ,f 0
quarter himself upon the company, and Mr. Houll
worth had intimated his desire to have him a salarg
officer, with 1,500/. a year.—(Hear.)
Mr. GILL denied the truth of the statement.
Mr. MOWA.TT said he had had good authority 14-
what he asserted, and proceeded to find fault vg
Mr. Gill for having been a party to the issuing'
0
writs against defaulters, while he was at the same
time behind with his calls to a greater extent tbei
they were. He considered that, if properly Oft
naged, the value of their property might be at ler
doubled.— (Cheers.)
Mr. GILL then replied to Mr. Mowatt, denyil
that the question of his becoming a paid servant°
the board hid ever come under their considerati°°;
and bringing evidence from the books of the corapt
to show that he had years ago, and also within t'
last few weeks, proposed that all the directors, hid'
self included, should serve the shareholders to
nothing.-- (Applause.)
The CIIsAIRAIIN then put the amendment, will°,
was negatived, but a scrutiny was demanded, and Ws"
taking place when our report was dispatched.

The

ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders;
this company was called for Monday, in GlasV t,
After nearly an hour's delay twenty gentlemen
tended. Mr. J. Hodgson Hind took the chain:na
seat, but objected to proceeding to business on the
rio
ground that only 935 shares were represented by t ,
meeting, whereas 1,400 were required legally to n°°e
stitute it. He expressed his regret at the want 011
quorum, and that the affairs of the company were no,
in a more prosperous condition, and stated the circtn,
stances under which the Earl of Eglinton had ret
signed the office of chairman, and he had accepted II;
Mr. Wilkie, writer, explained that the shares forin,'
ery
held by Mr. Barlow, on behalf of the National 0
change Company, were now represented by Mr. Goil,r;
ly, and contended that his presence increased tfe
shares to the required amount, and that therefore t1;10
meeting was perfectly legal. The chairman said j
should adhere to the register, in which he did not fin
any such transference. Considerable discussion er
sued as to the relevancy of the -objection stated bJ
the chairman, and ultimately the gentlemen present
separated.
