SHARLAND AND CO. (LIMITED).

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Your issue of Saturday last contains a short notice of a meeting of shareholders of Sharland and Co. (Limited), held on the previous afternoon. As there was no reporter present, it is to be presumed that the information was sent from the office of that com- & pany. An important meeting to alter the ! regulations of a public company should have the fullest publicity, and had the meeting been advertised you would have known of it, and no doubt your influential journal would have been represented, and a full report published. As was pointed out, it is a question whether the meeting was a legal one, and it is certainly very doubtful if nonresident shareholders would have complied with the request to send their proxies to ML*. Charles Sharland to swamp the meeting with votes, had they been informed of the nature of the alterations proposed to be made v (which they certainly should have been), which alterations and amendments were drawn up by Mr. Charles Sharland entirely in his own interest, and without being submitted to the company's solicitor, as was admitted at themeeting. It was, on the motion of Mr. J. J. Holland, that it was decided to hold a meeting in a month, and in the meantime a copy of the proposed alterations be sent to all shareholders, in order that they may be informed what changes are intended, and have time to consider them. am, &c., A Shareholder,
