existed to institute an inquiry into the proceedings of the
board. This investigation he courted, and only hoped it
would be searching and independent.—Mr. W. Burley
seconded the motion.—Mr. W. Harper opposed the report,
not from any factious opposition to the proceedings of the
board, but because he thought the report contained so
many topics of controversy, that it would be better to
refer it to a special committee for consideration. He
moved an amendment to the effect "that a committee of
seven shareholders, of whom three shall be a quorum,
be appointed to investigate the company's affairs, and to
examine and explain all the agreements entered into, and
to report and advise generally as to the future policy of
the undertaking, with full powers to examine books, and
to obtain such professional assistance as they may deem
desirable ; and that the committee report to an adjourned
meeting of the company to be held on the 21st of October
next."—Mr. Gandy, a director, seconded the amendment,.
