Mr. Mark Ostrer, Chairman' and Managing Director of the Com- pany, mond the adoption of the accounts, but shereholders showed an attitude far from sympathetic.
An amendment was moved, and carried on a show of hands, that the report and accounts be not adopted, and that a committee of investigation be appointed.
Chairman's Appeal
On the vote being taken, Mr. Ostrer, after counting, said: There seems to be very little in it.

A shareholder: It will be neces- sary to take apoll. (Cries of "Bit down.").
