THE MASONIC BALL 1889
TO THE EDITOR OF tur "Hoxoxong Telegraph."
SIR.It may be of interest to the Masonic Brethren generally, to learn that the whale the subscriptions to the Ball, held on the 25th February last-with one exception-have now been collected, all bills in connection therewith paid, and the accounts submitted and passed at a fiul meeting of the Ball Committee held at the Masonic Hall, Zelland Spel, on the 3rd
The receipts from subscriptions and sale of sundry items that had been used for decorative purpoes, amaunted to $3782 58. The cost of the Ball was $3.66 17, thus leaving a balance. in hand of $9541.
This amount, the members of the Bill Com. present at the meeting above referred to, unanimously voted to the funds of the Alice Memorial Hospital, and a cheque has been forwarded to the Treasurer, by me, this day,
one question to be considered was whether or not the contract was vold on the ground of conspiracy and fraud. The learned coun el, in comment | ing on the case, had commented on particular acts and conduct, sometimes in strong terms. in what, on the face of it, might not be a very moral transaction. They had to draw the line between what the law allowed and recognised and what it did not. The plaintiff, Mr. R. Shewan, the alleged confederate, his brother, Mr. Duer, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Grimble, were all in a way connected with the business and management of the Company. Mr. Grimble,mittee it was truc, was not at the time of the action connected with it, but he had been an employé in Mesars, Russell's office, and was often there, associating with the others, so that be was not distinguished from them. Messrs. Russell and Co, were the general managers of the Com pany. Plaintiff had been examined as 'to his knowledge of the Company's concerns there was no reason why be should not have known all about 1-it was perfectly legitimate. The Company was comparatively prosperous, having decreased is debt up to the end 1887 to $6,000, and having a stock of cheap hemp. Mr. Shewan, who conducted the correspondence and Mr. Potts, who insured the stock, had special knowledge of the Company's prosperity, and there was really nothing in law to pre- vent their utilising that knowledge. From their information they had reason to believe that
The financial result having been attaine without any call whatever upon the Brethren who subscribed to the Guarantee Fund, will no doubt be considered satisfactory to those gentle men.
All papers and dicuments relating to the Ball which may be of service upon some future occa sion I have deposited with W. Bro. Gillies, Chairman of the late Committee..

Shewan in January, if not before, came to the conclusion that it would be a very good thing to it was a satisfactory thing for clerks employed in offices in that way to use the knowledge which they gained in the course of their duties was entirely irrelevant to the issue-he knew of no law which forbade a 'man making a purchase of any acrt and using private knowledge respecting the value of his purchase. It didnot matter how the plaintiff gat his informa- tion whether through his official connection with Russell & Co. or not, and although, it might be, and as for as he knew was, objectionable, in the eyes of Russell & Co., it did not at all affect the validity of the contract. He thought it necessary to say that he did not say that the knowledge would not be material in one sense, and it had been strongly commented on as shewing the legal bearing of the question. He got the information, and was under no legal liability to disclose it, for there was no law which said that it was improper to use it. It was difficult to keep the, ques tions of conspiracy and the validity of the contract notes separate. He could conceive it possible that if that was done Mr. Potts, Mr. Shewan, and the rest could make a contract and then, after making is impossible for the inner lightship, where I anchored a litle to the other side to carry it out, and then be pre-north of her in smooth water, but the flood tide cluded from saying that they were injured by and wind being so strong, I drifted with both the non-observance of the contract.

So that really there was no case of conspiracy, or confederacy on whatever they liked to call it, on the 16th January, Passing that question by, they were confronted by the question as to whether there. was any combination at a later date, by an agreement to bold shares, or prevent other people from buying them. This question did not affect the validity of the contract but it would have a very serious bearing on the question of damages, If the plaintiff was a party to a confederacy which promulgated its own prices, which did not represent the bond fide value of the shares, the plaintiff could not quote those figures as market prices, and as a standard of the valde. He did not think it was important for over and sometimes through but giving the purposes of the case; whether a combina more confidence after each performance, tion was entered into or not.

His lordship still held that Mr. Perry ought never had a dry skin and everything about her to have been called. Continuing, he referred to the absence of any reliable quotations of the shares after February, and the difficulty of fixing the fatrinsic value of them for the purpose of estimating damages, Assuming that the contract in its inception was valid, unless the jury went the length of saying that there was a conspiracy on the date of its completion to pre-
