Before moving the adoption of the re- and accourts as presented, I shall be pleased to answer any questions you may: put to the chair.
There being no questions, “ The CHAIRMAN proposed the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, 26 presented.
The CHAIRMAN--Now is the time-should- any of you, so desire, to make any re marks, or to ask questions.
Mr. II. WATBOX-Mr. Chairman, may I ask if there is any truth in the rumour with regard to the purchase of the Com- pany by the British India Steam Naviga tion Company, Limited, or anything you cau state on the question ?
The CRAIRMAN-Are there any other questions?
The CHAIRMAN Mr. Watson, the fact will regard to this rumour is this. No proposal or proposition has been made to this Company by the British India Steam Navigation Company, Limited. Of course. I farve seen the various newspaper ramours, If there was a possibility of such a proposal it would be obviously in- expedient that I should make any anti- cipatory statement here, further than to say that we would deal with it entirely upon its merits in the best interests of the shareholders. The position at the monent is that we know nothing of any such intention of the Company named.
Mr. ALFORD Mr. Chairman, may we ask what is the present state of affairs Are during the first-half of this year? the Japanese still running to Calcutta!
The CHAIRMAN-Yes, they are still ran- ning.
Mr. J. Mortos-I have pleasure in The vote was unanimously accorded. The CHAIRMAN-Gentlenion, on behalf of my colleagues and on behalf of the staff in China I beg to thank you very much for the very kind manner in which you have received this proposal. We will take very great care that what you have said and this resolution are sent to China Fo that they may know you appreciate their efforts on your behalf.
The proceedings then torminated.

Were it not so serious the discharging of prisoners from Victoria Gaol before their sentences are completed would almost appear as Gilbertian. It looks as if the authorities were having a game with the police. The men in the fores are being reproached for not being able to lay hands on certain bad characters who are committing robberies wholesale, and yet when certain pests are convicted and committed to prison they are allowed to prey again upon society in a few months' time, long before their sentences ha expired, just because Victoria Gaol is overcrowded. It would be interesting to know what heaven-inspired genius found this solution of the probles.
