realise if placed in the market. I would conclude by urging tho shareholders to assist the officials in their efforts to extend our business. Wc shall take care only to accept such extensions as wo think safe and profitable. 1 movo that tho report and balance-sheet for the year ISSIi be received and adopted.

The motion was seconded by Mr C. J. Stone, and carried.

Captain Rattray proposed tho re-election of the retiring directors, Messrs Browning, Campbell, and Russell.

Mr Callnan, in seconding the motion, said that the shareholders had every reason to feel gratified at tho manner in which the financial operations of the Company had been carried on during the past twelve months, and he had no doubt that this suc cess was due in large measure to the efforts of the directors.

The motion was passed ncm. con. On the proposition of Mr Thomas Hill, seconded by Mr P. Ed.miston, the retiring auditors, Messrs W. S. Laurie and Geo. Fraser, were olso re-appointed. Mr Reader Wood said that he had much pleasure in moving that the thanks of the shareholders should be given to the directors, officers, and agents of tho Company, inasmuch as it must bo manifest to everybody that in the face of vory considerable opposition in the insurance business, this Company had stood its ground with remarkable firmness, and exhibited a balance-sheet which could hardly be other wise than surprising. There was ono point to which he wished to direct the attention of tho directors, and particularly that of the shareholders, viz., tho vory largo amount of the reserve and re-insurance fund—no less than £200,000, or just equal to the amount of capital subscribed by the shareholders. During the whole of the time that this had been accumu lating tho shareholders had been receiving tolerably uniform dividend. It was usually 15 per cent., although sometimes it had been less than that, but it had never been more than it. He might be wrong in his view, but still he could not see the use of accumulating such an excessively large re serve fund. He hoped that in future the shareholders would be permitted to enjoy a little more of the prosperity of the Com pany than they had in the past, either by receiving larger dividends or through the capital being increased by additions from the reserve fund. They were now nominally receiving dividends of 15 por cent, on the paid-up capital, but seeing that the addition of the accumulated re sorve fund was £200,000, the capital of the Company was really £400,000, their divi dends were only at the rate of 7^ per cent., which was very small considering the amount of funds in the hands of tho directors, Ho hoped that at this time next year the ae nccounts would bo as good—and ho had no doubt thoy would—as they were now, and "that tho shareholders would derive an ad ditional benefit from them. Major Georoe, in seconding the motion, endorsed Mr Wood's remarks about the large amount of the accumulated reserve fund, and tho small amount of the divi dends. The motion was then passed. The Chairman, in returning thanks on behalf of the directors, said that though it was deserved, for they had managed tho Company to the best of their ability, they had also had evory reason to be satisfied with the conduct of their employes. With reference to what had fallen from the mover of the vote of thanks upon the subject of dividends and reserve fund, that gentle man must be aware that insuranco business was very risky, and this subject had been frequently talked over by the directors. The cutting business that had been going on here was very severe, and the directors considered that they justified in studying the shareholders' interests by accumulating as much funds as possible. A little timo would shew if this was permanent, and if permanency appeared on the face of the re serves they had made, he had no doubt that tho directors would take into mature con sideration tho remarks that had been made that day. Mr G. P. Pierce (General Manager) acknowledged the' 1 vote on behalf of the officers and agents, a duty which he said he had regularly discharged for the past twenty-four years. It was encouraging, not only to tho officers, but to tho a«ents also, to find their efforts ap preciated by the directors and share holders, and while health and strength re mained to them, those efforts would bo steadily directed to advancing the interests of the Company, Although hardly within his province, ho might be permitted to make ono Blight allusion to the divi dend question. Shareholders wohld_ re member that this was an unlimited liability company, and that a heavy reserve fund was therefore necessary in case of a sweeping fire. They were now doing business in cities, such as San Francisco, containing a large number of wooden buildings, and in case of an extensive fire, it would be gratifying for them to know that they had sach a reserve at their back. Other New Zealand Companies were also increasing their reserves. He concluded by repeating his expression of thanks. The meeting then dissolved.

THE MINERS' STRIKE AT KAWAKAWA.

(BY TKLKGKAI'II,—OWN CORRESPONDENT,]

JUwak&wa, this day. The miners on strike have received notice to quit tho Company's houses to make room for new hands. A body of men, headed by a miner named Sam Wright, waited on the editor of the "Northern Luminary,-' and demanded the source from which the information emenated to the effect that 70 per cent, of the men would go to work only for the interference of a few ringleaders. On being told Mr Moody, the men dispersed. Very uncomplimentary notices now disgrace the telegraph poles, etc., but tho manager is determined that these will not deter him in his resolve, i.e., that miners shall get a fair wage, but not all the profits. The miners now enjoy a game of cricket daily. How long the strike may last it is impossible to say, but appearances d:> not speak wall. No coal is being turned out; but a fow day hands torraod " blacklegs" got coal to keep the puniping-engines going. The " slacker " named Fairley, who shook his fist in tho manager's face, talks of turning farmer, and another miner named Robinson purchased a piano at auction yesterday for £26 10s, and wotted the bargain by " long. aleever " indulgence.

CRIMINAL SESSIONS.

[by telegraph.—press association.]

Donkdin, Tuesday.—On Pearce, who is charged with the murder of his paramour, being arroinged, he asked the Court to pro vide him with counsel, as he had no funds. The Judge said he had no power, though he thought Government had done so « previous cases. If Government would not assign counsel, probably some members ol the bar would volunteer to defend him gratuituosly. He would communicate with Government to provide funds for counsel, and the case was meanwhile adjourned, John Renton, aged sixteen, pleaded guilty to housebreaking, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Wellington, this day.—The case of Kate Boyle, charged with child-murder, is pro ceeding. _________
