tors OF the Rock Ialand Company were and are
largely interested In the Canada Southern; hence
the assistance above described. II 10 somewhat
singular that great company like the Rock

There are likewise strange hints with reference
to Lake Shore. While 1t seems to swim on the top

suits are pending against the company by one OF
the old stockholders, which involve not less than
81. 100000 and Of which the courts win probably
