UNION BEACH COMPANY.

An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders in the Union Beach Gold Mining Company •was held yesterday in the Exohange build ings. There was a largo attendance, and Captain Daldy, as chairman of directors, Occupied tho chair. The reports showed tho stepg taken by the directors in forming the Company, and from thorn it appeared that £433 5s lid remained to their credit. Hav ing made their report, the directors resigned their offices and the shares held by them and by their nominees taken up to complete the legal formation of the company. Mr Dv Moulin made a long rambling state ment, attacking Messrs Bennett, Cosgrave, and the JSvoninr/ Stay, and detailing the many servioes he had rendered to the company. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, referred to the comment that had been made on the action of the directors. He reviewed the steps that they had taken. They had been blamed for the suspense account, but he could not see how it ■was possible to do justice to share holders outside the colony without reserv ing those shares. The direotora ex pected applications from Sydney and Melbourne, and they had to provide for the a&tiafaction of those claims. A number1 of shares had also to be paid over to natives for their interest in the Beach ground. Ho thought a great deal of unwarrantable odium had been thrown upon the directors in con nection with the shares taken up by them. He would like to know how a company could be formed without a qualified Board of directors. They had taken up those shares to qualify them, and to form the company. So far as his son's shares were concerned those shares had been held by him under the control of the direotors. If all the sharea had not been taken up then his son would have continued to hold those shares,, and would have paid the calls necessary to start the Company, but if the shares had been required they were at the disposal of the directors He remembered when the shares were offered to Mr Woollams. That gentle man said he did not care about being bothered •with them. The speaker alluded to the part taken by Mr Wardrop. That gentleman had gone down and bought the Beach mine at a time when it was likely to pass out of the hands of the shareholders. He (Capt. Daldy) hadagreed tobearhalf of MrWardrop's liabili ties, and" it was on that understanding only that Mr Wardrop purchased the ground. Al though he had the ground in his own hands Mr Wardrop had behaved as an honourable gentleman by the shareholders, and what re turn had ho received for his straightforward conduct ? Had he been met as an honorable man should have been ? A great deal had been said about the value of the property appropriated by the directors. The truth was that the shares in the Company at the time of allotment were almost valueless. The shares were not worth £25, but they had since acquired a value through gold being found. How had the directors acted in rela tion to the discovery of gold? Instead of concealing it they had gone down to Coro mandel and brought up specimens, and made the discovery public. Those who were desirous of knowing what the di rectors- were doing might easily have satisfied themselves by proper enquiry ; but, instead of that, the directors, upon coming up from Coromandel, where they had been attending to the shareholders' interests, found them selves lampooned and abused, and assertions made wholly without foundation. He was informed of much of this by others, because he did not pay very great attention to it at the time, although he felt it none the less, for he diet-not like to be called a blackguard. The directors thereupon resolved to re linquish the shares they had taken to qualify themselves, but they determined to complete the formation of the Company. This they had done, and they now handed it over legally formed and with a good balance to its credit. Mr Bennett replied to the statement of the Chairman. He said the property had been purchased upon the distinct understanding thab it was for the benefit of the share holders. There was nothing, said about appropriating 700 shares for the directors. These shares were worth £350, and so far aa liability on them was concerned it was a myth. Days and days before the news was published Captain Daldy know that a rich run of gold had been found in the Green Harp, and had seen specimens from the Beach. Mr Saunders asked whether the directors intended to hold those shares for themselves. He said a company might have been formed with an allotment of only five'shares to the direotors if the articles of association had been so drawn up. The Chairman replied that he had already explained that they did appropriate the shares with a view to holding them, and thought it no great thing for the trouble devolving on them. The shares granted to the other two promoters required by law were under the control of the directors, to be held only if the shareholders did not require them. In answer to Mr Bennett he distinctly stated that he was not aware when that Company was formed that a rich run of gold had been found in the Green Harp. He heard that gold had been found.^ He had unquestionably great confidence in the BuachJ Company or he'jipould not have taken 80 great an interest in it. He never said or thought otherwise than that the property was bought for the benefit of the shareholders. Nevertheless he repeated—and Mr Wardrop was there to verify his statement —that he would not have bought the property unless he had guaranteed to bear half the responsi bilities in the event of the shareholders not coming forward as they had done. Tho reports were then adopted unani mously. On the motion of Mr T. L. White it was agreed that no honorarium should be paid to the directors in the present state of the Com pany, in^ It oam resolved, on the motion of Mr Dou^m, that the 3,250 shares allotted the Beach Company, and the 2,800 allotted the Green Harp, should be handed over to the respective legal managers for distribution amongst the shareholders. Messrs Daldy, Douglas, Bennett, Ring,

I Howard, Woollams, Eogan, and Warren, j were proposed for the directory, and a poll resulted in tho return of Messrs Bennett, Woollams, Howard, King, and Douglas. This terminated tho business.
