The Master seems to think that Mr. Jackson. from the financial statement published on 15th December, 1900, and the auditor’s report for 1900, should have known that Bylaw. No. 917, nasal on 8rd December, 1900, transferring these mortgage to the Sinking Fund, had not ,been untried out. This, in justice to Mr. Jackson, should be explain‘ed, and the ex- planation is easy. First, the financial statement to 15th Dec.. 1900, was not produced before the Master at all, and if it had been, would not show the fact; second. the auditor's report is not published for, months at.
