company, but his group bought stock sold representing £154,996. 350,000 shares and he became the possessor of rather more than half the ordinary capital of the company, the majority of which he had since sold.

He said he would be delighted to be removed from the Chairman- ship, and he concluded by moving the resolution for the inquiry.

Mr. T. R. Jones rose to second, but before he could do so Major Noel Clarke formally seconded, and the Chairman. immediately asked for a vote.
