CITY HALL.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDENS,

This afternoon the annual meeting of the sbaroholders in and subscribers to the City Hall was held in that building. There were present: W. Keswick Esq., (in the chair), the Hons. F. Snowden, and C. C. Smith, F. D. Sassoon Esq., D. Ruttonjee Esq., and H. L. Dennys Esq. (Secretary).

"The CHAIRMAN said: The business, gentle men, is of a very formal character. The report is on the table, and it gives an ac- count of the City Hall for the last year, which is on the whole, I think, satisfactory so far as the usefulness of the building is concerned. The only point that calls for some anxiety is that of the revenue; we are unfortunately not in a good position as re- gards income. It is a matter for considera- ble anxiety as to how we are to meet the expenditure of the year on which we are entering. We have only at the present mo- xent a credit balance of $66.85, and that only exists because we have availed of a ubsoription which was raised among the Chinese, the balance of which is $2,830, to meet expenditure which we were not able otherwise to nover.

Mr. SMITH: We have borrowed the money from that fund?

The CHAIRMAN: Yes; I do not know that we bad any special obligation to do with it otherwise, because the Chinese have used the City Hall-the Museum part-very much, and a considerable portion of the money has been spent as the Chinese wished it to be expended in new cases for spe- cimens and in various ways connected

In opening the case for the plaintiff, Mr Johnson said the plaintiff was Mr Cohen, & gentleman very well known and was a broker for several years here, and the defendant was Mr McColloch, a gentleman connected with the firm of Messrs Turner & Co. This action arose out of a contract for the purchase of 100 flasks of quicksilver, 50 of which the defendant refused to de- liver, and the claim was for damage in respect thereof at $620, being the differ- ence between the price of quicksilver at the date of sale and the price at the date of delivery. The contract was a verbal one.

By Mr Johnson I look upon this as a on the 27th July last, the plaintiff went to Messrs Turner & Co. to bay quicksilver cash transaction, and in a cash transaction no contract note is necessary, and I knew and bought some from the firm. While
