The other creditors, had not given them the opâ€" portunityâ€"of settling on such easy terms, the Montreal Bank being the first to sue the Comâ€" pany. Messrs. Skead and Patterson bought this claim, then the next day these two Direcâ€" tors sued the Company. Mr. Fellowes then went on toexplain how the Directors had been ment. ‘There had been no difficulty in setâ€" tling with Mr. Perkins, the man who furnishâ€" pt" but it was not returned to. this day. Then there had been‘ two cribs of timber bought from Mr. Robt. Skead, to be credited to his, account. ‘The President did not know that the Company was the owner of these cribe, and on further enquiry he found that Perry had taken the lumber to one of the mills, and he (Mr. F.) knew not what had become of it. This was the kind of management of Mr. Perry and after finding out these things, he would have been wron§ in continuing his manageâ€" Mr. Perry denied this. * The President continued his remarks agninst Mr. Perty‘s management of the works, alluding to the bad and inefficient supply of gas which had been the subject of general complaint, and said these things had occurred for the purpose of raising a cry against his manageâ€" ; ment. He defied any one to go to the books and show that one copper of the Company‘s r-ouy had been misspent. It was true he had the choice of paying whom he pleased, and he had preterred to pay the claims of his own neighbors in preference to others who had their claims well secured. Mr. Porry‘s brotherâ€" inâ€"law had sued the Company for material works that were not used. _The only works now used were those which had been by | their own meghanics,. It was true they had the large gasometer which was to cost $3,800 ; though if he sifted the unts of the Company it would be seen how/much had bee»p spent upon it of the Com y‘s funds. As to this bonest man, Mr. P. , Mr. Skead had said last fall that Mr. Pofty should have been dismissed cight years 360. He (the Preâ€" sident) had found out this Kinter by mere acs cident that Perry took fire bricks and 15 barrels of fire clay, thy/ property of the Comâ€" pany, and had never said a word about it to the Secretary or any one in charge. The first person he (Mr. Fellowes) informed of this was Mi. James Skead, who brought back from Perry the apology that the property had been lent to the Hull Iron Comâ€" the Company with four city checksof $2410 each. In October buta very small sum had m-.uwa.oog.bmuomumym the arrangements for the business of thé Comâ€" pany. Some of the men were in the interest of Mr. Perry, and when he (the President) asked for information concerning the worksâ€"how much was being consumed and how much manufactured, the figures were prepared by one of the men and rubbed out by Mr. Perry, who said the Prexident had nothing to do with "- & f )uring ~the r, the late secretary Mr. {/ Colw::dufcli‘ufic:n:l your directors wc’r{e obâ€" | liged to dismiss the foreman, Mr. Perry, owing | to his absenting himself without leave and | leaving the works without a man who could | undertake the manufacture of gas in his abâ€" ; | gence ; which dismissal of Mr. Perry was conâ€" | fAirmed by the Board of Directors, and Mr.Hi1}H, | a person of skill in the manufacture of gas,. was appointed in his stead. y All of which is respectfully submitted, ‘ G, B. L. Fersowss, President. Mr. Fellowes said it was expected that he should say something ofthe proceedings of the Company during the past year, When he acâ€" cepted office at the Board the Company was embarrassed, having many liabilities of | which he and others knew nothing, and other claims continued to come in agninst the Comâ€" pany during the year. They had hoped to i:lgar-o-oolthmoflby floating the bonds of the Company, which as had already | been stated could not be sold. With regard to the working of the Company he haud of course to rely upon Mr, Perry. *He had also to rely wpon the Secretary, Mr. Coward, who had since retired. When he went into office he had secured $10,000 from the Ontario Bank on the endorsement of the Directors, with the view of meeting the claims against the Comâ€" pany and carrying on its affairs. â€" He had then the full confidence of the Board of Directors, and as President he had enjoyed that with the exception of that of Mr. Skead up to a month ago ; and he had still the confidence of six of them. Mr. Fellowes then attacked Mr. Porry‘s management of the Company,and referred to the numors and sugpicions which had been circnlatâ€" ed against himself, to the effect that he desired to get the Company into his own hands, though he would tell the meeting that he would not take it as a gift. ‘There had been a moeeting in November last of the Stockholders, at which ; a committee had been formed for the pu of investigating the affairs of the Compainy. It was a sort of inquisition to pry into conduct of the Directors. By that comun everything had been done to hamâ€" per the action of the Board, and the credit of the Cofhpany had been injured.

He thought the money wou‘d have been as safe in the hands of the projper officer, All he had to say regarding the two cribs oftiiiber was he had carried the bil}; or the order, or whatever it was to the offic». He believed the matter was simple enough ; it should have been credited to his. brother ‘and charged to Mr. Perry. With _ respect to the gas pipes, Mr. Perrv had failed to make arrapgements in Montreal for them on the credit of the C:m p:n!,fibntllkr_.}o‘rr, a gentleman of Kingâ€" Mr. Gibb said this was nof o.

Fellowes professed that this suit was defénded because of the nonâ€"«deâ€" livery, but suc a simple denial of making the note i way to gain time, While his client hy been so careful not to run up costs the Company, the suits brought by Lir. Eéilowes and his son, were simply brongh! embarrass. the Company, When that tleman said he took every means to wind Aip the Company, he (Mr. (G) thought the fruth was slipping out (laughter). After exâ€" ning at some‘ length regarding the suits ight against the Company by the President Secretary, Mr, Gibb said he could further shew the animusiof Mr. Fellowes by the fact that when he hbad ascertained that a gentle. man was prepared with the money to pay Mr. ‘ Fellowes‘ claims in full on the execution of a proper assignment, Mr. Fellowes would not take the money. (Mr. Lyon, his ‘brother, had told him (Mr, G.) that Mr.. Fellowes would not » ssign to any outsider ; hewould only assign to a subsequent mortgagee, which was equivâ€" alent to saying that he wouldâ€"not assign at all.

In the n onth of Fel» uary last, it was unanimously sgreed by the Bqard that one third of the money due to the Company‘s ereditors in Newcastle should at u.u.-t be remitted, together with & printed stat: mént of the Company‘s affairs. Two weeks after that, he called ag the office, and enquired of the Secretary whether the money had â€"been remittedâ€"who told him he had give1the money to his fatherâ€"then saw the President,; who told him he had not sent the money. as 3hfy ‘h.‘d _no money, He (Mr. 8.) Mr. Gibb, as the Attorney for Mr. Kerr, Mr. Perry‘s brother.inâ€"law, desired to explain in regard to his client, who had been particularly referred to by Mr. Fellowes, as having deait harshty v‘l:n)‘::o Company, and whose claim had been ht up as an argument nst Mr. Perty, ?llr. I-‘eflovu withdrew fm.ug.‘the meeting.) Mis client had the greatest for â€" ance as far us was possible for his own nszx, and when he was compelled to proceed against the Company, he thad acted with the view to keep down expenses as much as possible. . To show that Mr. Perry was in no way the cause of Mr. Kert‘s taking proceedings, Mr. Gibb read a letter from that gentleman to Mr. Perry, dated 19th September last, in which Mr. Kerr expressed his surprise that Davidson and Doran had obtained a judgmentagainst the Company, without Perry‘s ever having let him ‘\lnow a word about it. ‘This proved concluâ€" .sively that Mr. Perry had no hand in inducing him to commence proceedings. Mr. Kerr had also always instructed him (Mr. G.) to give the Company every possible indulgence conâ€" sistent with his own safety. Jn proofof which he might state that albthe costs the Company would have to pay if it now settled his clai of $7,000 would only be fire pounds, ~If Mf.

He might be accused ‘of having made a choirs as to who should be paid, but that he elaimed he had a right to do, and would take the. responsibility of â€"the : action.â€" Referring again‘to the action of the committee and the question about the supply of coad, Mr; Fellowes said that «ince the Stockholders had assumed fo control the management he had made every : effort to wind up the Company, (great laughâ€" ter) to wind up the books he should have ha become . pers and he himse Mr. Shoadâ€" pay for coal ? Mr. Peltow Mr, Fellowesâ€"To save themselvesâ€"well} every one had the same right. ‘Then Mr. Patâ€" terson hadiallowed himselfto be sued for some $1,000 or $8,000, and his store was in the Sheriil‘s hands, as the Directors thought, for the purpose of getting rid of his liability on behat ‘of the Company. _ Then the Ontario Bank, getting alarmed for the &ifety of the $10,0% they had advanced thes Company, Jook _ measures â€" to | secure â€" it Under these cireumstances his son and himsel#e who were Trustees for Mrs. Fellowes; had issued writs «lor the protection of her interests, Revesting again to the charge made against him ut seeking to get hold of theCompany, he said that last Fall the Committee offered the _ Company‘s . works _ for sale, â€" and. ‘should . not â€" he â€" as well < as _ others lu}: « chance to purchase? IHe had offered, if lie could get six others to join him to adâ€" vance $10,000 on tiae bonds of the Company to pay off all its liabilities, and put it in pro. per working order,, He had not been conâ€" su‘ted as to the last meeting ; it had been atâ€" terupted to set him aside altogether. _ Then the notice calling it did not set forth that the Dbusiness was .to: be done which was really transscted there. ‘There was no word of set. ting aside the Directors ; nor had he any notice of what did take place until h¢e saw it in the newspmpers. Now he might be allowed to have some tecling as well as otiter men, and he ‘thouzht he was entitled to better treatment, It was due to him surely that he should have been notitied of what had‘ taken place.
