In moving the adoption of the manual report and Statement of accounts the CHAIRMAN said: Gentlemen: With your permission we will as usual considor the Report as road. The accounts which were posted to cach Shareholder some days ago do not leave me much toi explain. You are all sware from the circalar letter pasted to each shareholder on the 36th Jr 10 last, that we have acquired over 200,000 square fest of lend, or rather son-bed, at North Point, and the first items in the Assols which Hi Honour-Did not Weinmun waire the claim attention are one of $119,495, 26 and contract by his conduct?

We will have more to say r this scheme at the meeting which will shortly be called to sanction the increase of Capital to finance this extension vi orr business, meanwhile I will only say that the site acquired is a valuable and most srtable one, and one which must shortly increase in value much over what it will cost as; and that from various catizes, such as pressure by the local Government; the Tramway seriously inter- His Honour-This man made a selection offering with our free communication with the biscuits, and I must therefore consider that they were up to sample, or what was the good of taking them?

As regards the second contract, I shall be able to show clearly that the document produced by the plaintiffs is not a copy of the contract, and that wr.

To Mr. W. C. Jack (of Messrs. E. C. Wilks and Co.) who was in charge of the salvage operations, the loss of the ship when success had seemingly been attained must be a sore disappointment indeed.
