I I would mention that it is important that shareholders attend the declaration of the poll, for the reason that if the avondment be carried it will then be my duty to put before you the original resolution for the adoption of the report and accounts as amended and call for a show of hands. Should the amendment be lost, it will then devolve upon me to place the original resolution before the meeting for the adoption of the report and accounts as presented by the directors.
