Yesterday a meeting of Sher eholders in this Company
twits convened at-their office in Great Winchester-street,
go consider the propriety of ezecutiwg a deed, empow-
ering the Directors to proceed to carry the object of the
Company into effect.
About n. e o'clock six or eight Gentlemen ente:eJ the
room, and a desultory conversation took place, in the
course of Which it was observed by 04 of them, that
in his opinion there was nothilt which c..lled for clis-
cussion at the present moment. He considered the
meeting to have been convened in an irregu'ar manni r.
and he therefore suggested that the shareholders should
sign a requ,sition to the Directors to call a meeting of
the prnprietors, for the purpose of laying before them a
tatement of the number of shares which had been di -
po ei of; and of the deposits that had been received
up m them; and alio to take into consideration the
propriety and expediency of their signing .the deed
which had been prepared, or of the necessity of relin-
quishing the thing altogether, and having the deposits
etunded.
A Shareholder approved of the suggestion, and ob-
served, that as he had had no hand in calling the present
meeting, he should not stay there any longer. He and
two or three other Gentlemen then left the roam, and
nothing was done.
