have secured, give us the same views,

that these give contrary opinions to
those he has deposed at the trial. He

law contemplated. and ihe law

men, hat you are content that this

Mr.. William Cuthbert: l think,
Mr.. Chairman, there are certain things
that might be dore at this meeting
without any disadvantage to the share
holders. In the first place, the Chair
man has announced his intention of
retiring from the board, and, therefore,
l beg leave to propose that his resigna-
ticn be accepted. l understand his
is hat when ne leaves this room
he ceases to be a member OF the board,
and, therefore, all the business we
need transact today is to elect two
Directors, of which full notice of five
days has been given.
Mr.. Taylor: May | ask, sir, did
you intend to resign at this meeting, or
until after the adjourned meeting?
MIR. Bridgewater: Has the resolu-
ton for the adjournment been sec
The Chairman: No; ii has not vet.
A Shareholder: Is there a resolu-
ton before the meeting Mr.. George
Hopkins deputy chairman): Do you
think before you 20 to that ques-
ton The meeting ought to receive the
report of the accounts ?-The Chair
Certainly.
Mr.. w. Cuthbert: 1t Is the boards
business 10 take their own course.
The Chairman: Well, l put it / o the

or you wish the report aud accounts

Mr.. Riley: A resolution has been
proposed To adjourn the meeting; 1
second that resolution. | think dur
the trial it is most important that
nothing should transpire here that
might have an evil effect upon the
other side. III we now 20 into the
question OF accounts there NAV he a
here; if we 20 into the
question of election of directors, and
The retirement of the Chairman, there
are many points that we should like
To discuss; / think, therefore, it is
important that we should adj

Of the trial We do no business what

Mr.. G. Hopkins: / rise to order. As
| understand the question before the
meeting IL that The report INT accounts
shall he received, that motion has been
proposed and seconded, and that is the
resolution before the meeting whether
the reports ami accounts shall be re-
The Chairman: Yes: that is the
question before the meeting.
Shareholder: l think he Chairman
moved that the meeting be adjourned,
and it was seconded by the gentleman
On my right-Mr. Riley.
The Chairman explained that the
question before the meeting was the
reception of The accounts; by an mad
vertence the motion for an adjourn

Mr.. J. Bayliss: l understand the
resolution before the meeting is hat
he accounts be received. l take il
hat the mere reception of the &C.
counts does not involve the adoption
Of them, and that the discussion on
the accounts will be carried on at the
meeting. That being so, /
much pleasure in secondlng the
motion.-The resolution for the recep-
ton of the accounts was thea put and

Hurst: l think it is
The proper thing hat the meeting
should be adjourned for a longer pc
