I am quite sure that the majority of the share holders scarcely expected In these times of keen competition, these times of necessarily lowering rates in order to maintain the bual zess of the Company-it was beyond our utmost expectations that such a satisfactory statement should have been put before us. only hope that our next report will be as good as this I have no reason to doubt it, for 1"am quite sure that the general managers, assisted by the consulting committee, will be competent to deal with any difficulties that may come in the way.

Mr. Francis That may be so, but it does no lessen the guilt of the man now being tried,

His Worship:-He admits Hability, and has always referred to his guarantors, so that his overdraft would appear to be safe, which your man does not show for himself. This seems to me to be a question of account, without any intent of fraud being apparent as yet.

Mr. Francis-But the money has gone.

Mr. Francis said that as there had been no time for a translation, he would ask for an adjournment.

The case was eventually adjourned until to morrow at 3pm.
