23. Will you kindly furnish as with the following information: (a) names of all Directors who were appointed from time to time since the formation of the company; (b) dates of such appointments; (e) dates when such Directors or any of their resigned or ceased to act as Directors by death or for any other reason?"

93, a, b. e. A list of Directors had been drawn up from the recorda of the Company, but owing to pres- sure of work in getting out the in- formation necessary to answer these questions I have not yet had time to compare the list with the file kept by the Registrar of Companies.'

I take it, then, that he acted as a kind of forum tenens for Mr. Brauis-Yes; there is a provision for that.

The questions and answers were then resumed.
