swer 10 our predecessors IL Office The prac-
tce prevailed when we came into office, and
no action that we know cf has ever been taken
TO prevent it, as .ss0g" be done by authority
OF Bylaw 10, Notwithstanding the matter has
been several times brought TO the notice of the
Board, and in the presence of its senior men,
ber, who, while declaring that the oysr.due
notes ought to be paid before the ground was
further used, never deemed il of sufficient I'M
por'ance to make motion TO that effect.
No. 81 is n complaint that Mr.. A X. Shep-
herd was elected TO fill a vacancy in the Board
by the votes of Messrs. Beall and Sanger and
In opposition to the wishes of the other mem :
Der, Mr. Corcoran, who also charged that Mr..
Shepherd was a relative of Captain Sanger's
which charge is positively disproved by the
evidence before the committee The Commit
tee say; 1.-The material facts have been
sustained" but they do not question the le :
gality OF the election.
Now for a novel charge:
''22. have declined to meet this Board, SO
organized, whose every act OF late has been
aimed to annoy and mortify, If not to insult me,
For the proof Of this, refer you to the record
OF its proceedings since the new organization,

full for the benefit Of the lot-holders; but was
prevented, by q refusal OF proper access TO

The answer Of the Board Of Managers quotet
in cur comments on No. 10 above, should be
read in this connection, as it shows why the
officers OF the company refused to let Mr.. CDR.
coran take the books away, though he was
allowed TO see them at the Office.
No. 81 Is not reported on for want of time, the
committee cay, and we will therefore wait I'm
til II is, before commenting on it.
In summing up the charges against the Su.
perintendent, the committee say:
1.-The committee are satisfied that no inten-
tentional injustice has been done the Company
by the Superintendent"
We have now disposed Of all the so.called
"charges' against the Superintendent and
Managers, none of which were sworn to by
MIR. Corcoran. He did, however. swear to one
statement which, il appears from the evidence
was not sustained. s'On the contrary, quite
the reverse" While Captain Sanger was being
examined by the committee, Mr.. Corcoran
asked him

The charges made bv Mr. C0rcorar, and the
bare report OF the committee, as published In
morning paper yesterday, are not as satisfac.
tory to the seeker for truth as the pamphlet
containing the evidence, which throws a new
light on many matters only touched on by the
Committee IN their report proper. From this
evidence we have made few selections above
to show its character. BY the evidence il is
clearly shown that what we said OF tue exon.

full resume we give above.
