Cumbersome in Practice.

It had been found that in prac- tice, this division of shares into two classes, and the many pri- vileges attached to the Founders'. shares, was cumbersome and not conducive to the smooth work- ing of the Company, and there- fore it was sought to convert the shares. The value of the shares Founders' shares to Ordinary

was the same, each of $100.

His Lordship expressed the opinion that that could apply as the proposed payment to the Founders' shareholders was like the payment of a bonus. There was satisfactory ground, his Lordship said, for the approval of the modification and the scheme of arrangement, and ae- cordingly he gave sanction, the form to be submitted by Counsel.
