LIQUIDATORS ACCUSED. KING AND QUEEN ON BOARD BRITANNIA AT COWES.
“IRREGULARITIES A DISGRACE."
In a stormy two-minutes, allega- 'tions of disgraceful conduct by the quidators were made by Dr. Kow at an extraordinary goneral meeting of contributors of the Hongkong Development Building and Savings Society, Ltd (In liquidation), held In the City Hall yesterday after-
noon.
The accusations were subsequent- ly withdrawn, though Mr. J. H. Seth, who conducted the nicoting, refused to put an amendment to two of the special resolutions, and the proposer himself eventually asked the meeting to vote upon them.
The proceedings were convened by the liquidators (Mr. J. H. Seth and Mr. S: Hampden Ross), for the purpose of considering Ave resolu tions which provided for the ap- pointment of a "committed" to AB- sist the Liquidators to effect com- promises with a view to expediting the Liquidation.
Purpose of Meeting.

Mr. Seth, in putting them before the meeting, sald:
