Mr Pollock said that the application was nude under Section 11 of Ordinance 1 of 1877, and he asked the Court to confirm the reduction of capital in accordance with a special resolution passed by the Com pany. His Lordship would see from the Affidavit that certain amounts of capital had been lost or were uiirepresented by avail- able assets, and that a special rosolution was duly passed at meetings of the Company duty held in Shanghai for the reduction of the capital. The resolution which was passed was that the capital of the company he reduced from $120,000, divided into 1200 shares of $10 each to 872,000, divided into 1207) share of $60 each, and that such reduction be effected by cancelling capital, which had been lost or was unrepresented by available assets, and by reducing the amount of the shares from 810; to $60 per
