tary, and by this arrangement a very matorial saving in the working expenses will be made, which will no donht meet with the entire Batlefaction of tho abaroholders. Clauses No. 2 and 3 explain themselves fully, but I might mestion that the Direc tors were induced to propose having this matter placed entirely in their hands so that, should the business of the Company not. warrant the payment of 12 per cent. interest per annum, they might be in a position to fix a lessor rate so as to avoid en- croaching upon the Reserve Fund, unless it was in the opinion of the Board very desirable to do so, in which case it would be well to have the authority from the shareholders so to do. It is of course understood that whenever the profite of the Company admit, the full rate of 12 per cent interest per acuum will be paid against the Company's shares. Clauses Nos. 4 and 5 require no special mention beyond the fact that given notice of 14 days will be much more convenient than the present fixed notion of 30 days. Clause No. 6; With regard to this proposed alteration I beg to say that, as the Company's Deed of Settlement now stands, no Special Revolution, with a view -to altering any of the Articles of Associa- tion can be brought forward unless there are at least 500 shares of the Company's stook represented as such meating, which number it is not always practicable to get together within a reasonable time owing to the fact of the-shares of the Company Chan Akiu, describing himself as a being so widdy distributed to the mandisant and aged 61 years, was convicted Directors suggest that the matter of and sentenced to four months hard labour altering the Artioles of Association, for stealing three catties of fish from one as circumstances may warrant, ba governed Wong Achan.

Li Chulr Sing, a shopkeeper, was charged cise Officers appointed under the above Ordinance, for retailing prepared Opium without a license. After a careful investi- gation of the case, the Magistrate fined the accused. $100 or six weeks hard labour, in addition to forfeiture of the Opium, which however did not amount to much, there being only about one tail weight of it. One half of the fine if paid, as well as the con- fiscated Opium, were ordered to be given to the Farmer.
