The CHAIRMAN-Of course this is entirely within the power of the shareholders to pass as an amendment to the repert, but I think it won't be a mistake not to make the provision that is renommonded by the Goneral Managers. It is well we should be a strong as possible; we should not do anything to messon ourselves; but it is a matter which the General Managers would desire to leave entirely to the shareholders. It is their property, and if they choose to disido it in this way, though the doueral Managers would very touch regret such a parting with their resourens, still of ecurso they must submit, The amendment was handed in in writing as follows:-"That the dividend be amended to $12 per share, and that the appropriation te- wards the cost of a new machine ba $8,750 in- stead of $10,000."

upon the point taken by Mr. Franeis, that upon the affidavit fled there was reason to believe $9,779.48 that the cause of action did not arise within the jurisdiction of the court. Ha alen saw by the $69,773.46 papers that neither the plaintiff nor the defen- dant were within the jurisdiction of the court, one boing at Singapore and the other at Hoi how. Soendly he would grant the rule upon the ground of the irregularity of the proceedings. It seemed to his Lordship that judgment was given, not against property attacked, but against which there was an order of exotation.
