A meeting of the Fourteen-mil6 Beach Dredging Company was held in Dunedin. on Wednesday, from, which the Press ,repre3entatives wore excluded, and tho meeting lasted till one o'clock on Thursday morning.

An amendment was moved—" That .Mi- Ewhig had failed to-substantiate his charges against the Dunedin directous, .and that, as tho Board as constituted could not work harmoniously, Mr Ewing and Mr Donnelly b© asked to Resign." This amendment was carried by an overwhelming majority. It ,wa3 subsequently resolved that the shareholders had confidence in tho Dunedin directors.- ;•■... Tho Sandy Point dredge, which coat £13,000, and is one of the largest yet constructed, is. working smoothly and dredging on the portion of claim adjoining the Perseverance Company's property.
