BRITISH AND FOREIGN SAILORS' SOCIETY. A special meeting of the Lytteltos Ladiar Guild of the British and foreign bailors' ,:; Society was held in the Institute last e*n> { ing, when there was a large attendance. tlt» W. T. Todd explained that she had convened , the meeting by advertisement owing to tiw | secretary having refused to call a mcotinf vj when requested to do so by a written reajnaition signed by twelve members. Mrs Preston moved, and Mrs Porter *ss» onded, that as tho president and secrets** i had absented themselves from the meeting, the vice-president, Mrs J. R. Httchssß, should take the chair, and Miss Mum? should be asked to act as secretary tot th* meeting. Tho motion was carried." Mrs Hatchwell, after taking tho chair, ttJa that tho meeting had been called to daal with the motion of no-confidence in Mr* U, J. Miller as president of the Guild. This > motion should have been put to the last „ meeting of the Guild but for the admss ruling of tho chair. Mrs Hatohwell said *bst they had made full enquiries, and found that | M» Miller's ruling was quit* wrong, aad 1 also that they were quite in order la convening the special meeting. Mrs 2jgdd proposed—"That tUt Guild bating lost confidence in its president as its representative on the Board, requests tar to resign." Mrs Todd said that her reasons j for moving in this direction were—first, tbe | Guild could only make its voioe and iaafts> ', «nos heard on the Board through Hs ace**- m dited representative on the Board, the ptsti- J dent, and if that officer fails to carry «tt f the wishes of the Guild, tho Guild bad no j representation; second, at the last mestiag >jg of the Guild Mrs Miller absolutely refused J to Bupport on the Board a motion carrlsd | by a large majority in favour of tho tw> ~9 instatement of Mr G. Wood as superintsa- 1 dent, and upholding those members of Ik* Board who supported a motion of no-cos-ndence in the executive. The position wss, J therefore, untenable, and tho Guild had V> J confidence in Mrs Miller as the Guild's «»■ ' preaentativo. If they were to retain tt* right of representation granted by the BosM ' \ the only course open was to elect a as* \ representative. The motion was seconded by ' Mrs Watson, and carried uanimonsly. i Mrs Murray proposed, and Mrs QrsM i eeconded, that the Mayoress, Mrs W. 1 y Lester be elected president. The motion was carried unanimously, and the secretary was Instructed to write to ti* secretary of the Board informing him that Mrs "Miller was no longer tho Guild's Mpw> sentative on the Board, and that Mrs Letter had been elected to the position of paottset and tho Guild's representative. During l the meeting a legal opinion of - the position, from a Dunedin firm of solidtors, was read. Among other matters the 2 opinion stated that in the absence of taa , I definite rale as to a notice of notion, Us* | Guild themselves could decide the tin* j necessary for any such notice. | In concluding ths meeting a motion, g*> «j posed by Mrs Wilson, and seconded by U» , Wilcox,' was carried endorsing the sotjoo taken by the convenors of the msstinf.
