CORRESPONDENCE.


BEL AIR, April 9th, 1874.
MIR. EDITOR: | have noticed in your last
weeks issue short article under the head of
"a New Charter" which | am afraid is calcutta
ted to do harm which | am sure you never in
tended, as we are all about equally interested in
the proposed agricultural society. As the ''ncw
charter us well as the old came under INV no.
ticc officially, hope it will not be consid cred
out OF place Tor me to make an explanation Of
the supposed difficulty.
Through some inadycrteucc the first articles of
Incorporation were placed upon record with 4
detective acknowledgement, inasmuch as the
names OF the directors were added, and possibly
some other changes were made after the inst rli.
ment was signed by the corporators and ac-
knowledged by them before II Justice of the
peace This was II defect which certainly re-
quired correction, and the most natural way to
do 1t was to withdraw the intrument and have it
copieaana again acknowledged. This is exact
ly what was done in this case and the present
articles of incorporation are simply the first with
the defect in the owledgement corrected.
II there are any improper features in the art-
Giles OF incorporation as they now stand, it is q
proper matter Of comment, and have no doubt
all concerned would be glad to have oil defects
which may be made apparent, corrected, but
lnasmuch us the matter TO which you have jpst
called attention was merely the remedying ofan
asccrtaiIed defect, am sure no one would re-
greet more than yourself if it should result in
causing any dissatisfaction or failure of interest
in the enterprise.
longer explanation might be given if deem.
cd necessary, but am sure if you will make the
investigation for yourself you will find the
whole difficulty to be as thus briefly stated.
Hoping that you will make the necessary exami.
nation and ifyou deem it proper, publish this
statement or something similar, lrenlain as ever,
Yours truly,
JAS. ID. WATERS.
We chccrfully publish the above letter from
His Honor Judge Walters, with the remark that
as the second charter now appears, it may be in
perfectly legal form; but the fact still remain,
that the stock was subscribed under charter
that was fraudulcntly interlined after it WAS &C
knowedged and executed. The simplest plal
to get rid of the difficulty will be for the origi
nal corporstors to re-assemble, rest ore their mu
| tilatcd charter, thus making good the subscrip
tions under it, and proceed as at first intended
We sincerely hope that the affairs of the Agricul
tural Society may be put into proper shape, aut
that an enterprise in which We are all so deepl,
interested, may be carried forward TO successfl
