tract for stock was of; he knew that

cause he (Ames) gave him the check

ttons on the Robinsons. He only spoke of
them as The representatives of O great, rich,
and powerful interest in Baltimore and Phil
ade!phia controlling the Baltimore Steam
Packet Company and dividing its profits
among themselves ut the expense of another
itne, In which, also, they had a controlling in
tereSt. He then repeated his question as to
the profits, dividends, or Investments of the
Baltimore steam-Packet. Company since the
opposition line was withdrawn.
Senator Taylor Chairman of the commit
tee) sald that If the Chair was appealed to it
must decide that the gentleman was not
under the circumstances, obliged to reply.
Great latitude has been allowed. and If a
gentleman declines TO reply he is to Judge
whether he prefers the odium of declining
to answer.
Senator Terry expressed the opinion that
the question was legitimate one, bit that
the committee should not compel an answer.
Mr. Robinson Well, to avoid any odium
l would reply; but do not know that the
Baltimore stockholders would thank me for
revealing their property interests, with their
names and the amounts.
MIR. Lyon do not ask either names or
amounts. L want to know the amount of
dividends divided among the stockholde
and the profits over and above such diyi-
dends invested or put into sinking fund.
Mr. Robinson repeated his remark about
the precariousness of steamboat property,
and again expressed his unwillingness to
give names Of stockholders and the amount
OF their Investments. He then remarked
that the averrge dividend was not more than
ten per cent. in 1866 and since.
Mr. Lyon: expressly left out 1865, be.
cause / know that in 1866 the Leary opposi-
tion made you lose money like thunder. !
wish to know the profits since you got rid OF
the opposition-say, since the LIST of January,
1867; not tue average profits, but the annual
profits since you have had the monopoly OF
the bay-say, during the years 1867, 1868,
1869, 1870, 1871, and 1872?
Mr.. Robinson: Dividends or profits?
Mr.. Lyon l said expressly dividends or
profits invested or put into u sinking fund.
The hour for the meeting Of the Legisla.
ture having arrived Mr.. Lyon was requested
to put his question in writing, and allow Mr..
Robinson until the next meeting Of the COM
mittee to consider whether he would answer
it. This was agreed to, and MIR. Lyon then
put the question in the following form
"Please state to the committee what have
been the profits of the Baltimore Steam
Packet Company during the years 1869, 1869,
1870, 1871, and 1872; whether said profits
have been paid to the stockholders in divi-
dendS, or invested in other property, or car.
ried to n reserve or sinking fund, or used in
payment of debts of the company :"
The committee then rose.
