The Chairman said : " I now have the pleasing duty of again moving that the roport and statement of accounts which have just been rear! bo received anJ adopted. lam glad to ba ab!o to compli ment the shareholders on the satisfactory result of our operations during the past year, notwithstanding the keen competi tion and the widespread depression of trade and manufactures. The directors continue to adhere to the determination which has guided them throughout their career, to maintain, a3 far a3 practicable, the quality of their busine;.3, preferring <i small and select one fo showing a large amount of premium income. The unfavourable nature of trado during fhe last two or three years shows that this ha? been the wisest course to pur=uo. JTireo during the past year have boen very numerous, and tho general depression has slightly affected cur premium incomo in New Zealand, en well as in tho other coun tries in which we aro doing business. \V 7o have, fortunately, had no serious marine casualty to swell our loss list, tho heaviest individual marine 1033 having been £3,(00 by tha Lyttelton, at Timaru, and the heaviest firs 1 >=h £1,000. It is to be hoped that crti long trado will revive, and with reluming prosperity wo may hope to have a revival of insurance profit.'. Our invested funds still yield us a fair amount of interest. I take advantaee of this opportunity of expressing tho directors' and agents, who have done much towards maintaining tho present position and pros parity of the Company."

Mr W. L. Wilson seconded

Mr Green asked the meaning of the item "depreciation of currency on Indian deposits and balances," Was it a now item or had it appeared in previous accounts in another form ?

The General Manager explained that it wa3 entirely owing to tho varation that wa3 now taking placo in the Indian rato of ox change. Mr Boardman said that the total amount of £.'3,000 would be carried forward instoad of carrying forward £3,000 and adding £20,000 to the reserve. Of course, it was merely a matter of account. Ho also thought, though he had oppo.-ed it some years ago, that the time had come when a small bonus should be paid to the ehareholdors to compensate for the largo portion of the Company's capital on which no interest was paid to the shareholders. He suggested that tho bonus should be 2i per cent., and made the suggestion because the protit3 wero fair this year, and because so much of the dividend was paid out ef in terest on investments, and so little out of. the business of the Company. The Chairmen said that the directors felt that insurance companies were goiug through a trying time, aud it had always been the aim of tha directors to make the Company one of tho stable institutions of the country. Ho pointed out that the dividend was equiva lent to 7J per cent, on all their funds, and felt sure that the majority of tho share holders would hold that tho directors had done right. The motion was then put and carried. Mr Peacoofc moved " That Messrs Clark and Browning, the retiring directors be re elected." Mr Upton Eeconded.—Carried. Mr H. G. Green moved, " That Messrs Fraser and Laurie bo re-appointed auditors." Mr Ross seconded —Carried. Mr Bull moved -'that the thanks of the shareholders be given to the directors, officers, and agent? of the Company. He said that in these times of difficulty whether they reckoned the amount of the dividend on tho original capital of the company or on the whole of the funds, it was very satisfactory. The present position of tho Company has due largely to the exertions of ihe direo tors and officers of the Company. The motion having been seconded by Mr Ching, was carried. The Chairman and the General Manager briefly returned thanks. The lattei said he had lately had an opportunity of in specting the Company's business in Australia, and he assured them that they had a most zealous set of officers and who hod the interests of tho Company very much at heart,

Thia concluded the business,

Epiphany Church Embroglio.

DR. O'CALLAGHAN THREATENED WITH AN ACTION FOR DAMAGES.

Charge of Abusive Language Against a

Churchwarden.

The ditlieulty between the authorities of Epiphany Church and the contractor (ilr Edmonds,bado fair yesterday to result in a bountiful crop of litigation, but to day the outlook is eomewhat more reassuring. Thoso who wish for -'poaco with honour " are therefore hoping that tho rapidity with which " the cloud no bigger than a man's hand overspread the whole horizon of Epiphany may ba paralleled by the celerity of Ha disappearance Thair hopes are etrength oncd moro by tho conciliatory attitude of the Church Committee than by any indica tion of faltering on tho part of the con tractor, who has evidently donnod his war paint and means business unless big do mands aro met.

Pursuant to tho summons of tho incum bent (Dr. O'Callaghan), tho;Committoo mot last night to contider the position of affairs, thtro being present : Dr. O'Callaghan, in tho chair, ana Messrs Tibbs (See.), Ikehor, Tucker, Taylor, Nowbiggen, Ughtfoot, Hinman, I\W. Lipscombo, Probort, Shurp, Foil, and two others ; tho only members absent being Messrs Slyiield and Stanton. Mr T. Holder (the architect) Mas also pre sent, by request.

Tho Chairman, in opening tho pro ceedings, saia Jib supposed that ail were aware of th 2 reports which had happened in ihc papers concerning tho action ULou by tho contractor. '.the effect of this action had been to placo tho church authorities before tho public in a false light, and it would bo tor them to tuko cognisance of it. Ho had Bummonod tho meeting in tho ordinary course in order to lay boforo tho Commiuco a cir tilicato from Air Holder, authorising a pro gress payment of £50, but this circum etancos under which tho receipt hau coma to hand were so extraordinary as to necessitate eoniu explanation from Mr Jfolder. That waa wliy ho hud b':cn invited to attond. Tho receipt was dated on Saturday ;ast, and jet it was on clo-cd in a nole from Mr Edmonds which reached him on Friday night. Accom panying it was a lotter doniandiug mime d:;Ue payment, and threatening in default thereof that the building would bo closed. This conduct wan, losay tho least of it,very unreasonable, more especially as ho was not aware that Mr Kdruonde hud ever boon ro fused or xept waiting unduly for any money to which ho was eniitled. Tho Chairman explained that as ha could not make p.iy- I mont until tlio Oommittoe had mot to vote t'io money, and a* ho could not call them to gether before Monday MrEdinondscarried out nis threatof looking up thochuroh,and hethen mentioned how it had to be forcibly oponcd on Sunday. Since then he had received two communication* from .Mr Edmonds's solici tors, the first addressed to himself person ally, and tho other to thoso who had signed tho contract on behalf of tho chdreh.

This letieri.3 without prejudice.— \oii'-» truly, IiLHiTON AND KEIiSINQ. In cmclu?.ion, tho Chairman called upon Mr llo'der toexplain how Mr Edmonds came to forward on Friday a certificate dated on Saturday.

Mr Holder said that he was very sorry that .Mr Edmonds should have acted r.3 he had, and ho assured the Committee that ho was himself in no way responsible for that action. Aa for the misdated certificate, it was purely an error on his part. It waa given on Friday, and \v?.s erroneously dated Saturday. He was wholly at a loss to account for tho hasto of Mr Kdmondd in pressing for pay ment, or to understand why ho should have backed up his demand with a threat. He regretted that he should havo acted co strangely.

Tho Chairman asked vhether ho con fidered a payment delayed if the cortiticato, being received on a Friday, tho Committee mot on the Monday or Tuesday to consider it, and the money were paid on tho Tues day or Wednesday.

Mr Holder said " Certainly not." At fcho same lime he reminded the Committee that on one occasion a progress payment hud bc«n very considerably delaj od. It was pDii;tod out", in reply, that tho cause of this delay was a dispute a3 to tbo way in which the concrete foundations had been executed.

A.ite~r 3omo further exchange of opinion, Mr Holder was thanked by resolution for his attendanco and explanation, and then withdraw.

Tho Committee, upon his withdrawal, en tered upon the discussion of the whole matter. Great indignation was expressed at Mr Edmondes's action, and it was freely denounced. 110 was alfo censured for misrepresenting facts — and it was believed that ho fully intended to keep the Church closed on Sunday. One* Committeoman, in confirmation of thi3 belief, atated that a resident of New ton had assured him that Mr Edmonds had told him he was determined to keep tho Church clopod on Sunday and to "keep tho vipers out." Some members of the Committee wero opposed to any further payment being mads until the contract was complete us they were empowered to retain £150 to ensure its completion. Ultimately, however, it v;as resolved to pay on Saturday next the £30 for which Mr Holder's certificate had been given. Tho meeting, which had lasted several hours, then dissolved.

On making inquiries to-day, we learnt that Messrs Burton and Keesing havo been instructed by Mr Edmonds to proceed against Mr Tucker (churchwarden) in tho Police Court for abusive language on Saturday night, Mr Tucker haying on that occasion interviewed him with tho view oi getting the keys of the church.

Our latest information indicates that the uiorm-cloud Is fast blowing over. Mr Holder received a note from Mr Tibbs this morniDg requesting him to inform Mr Edmonds that the £50 had been voted, and would be paid before the end of tho week. This he did, and further than that he contrived an interview between Dr. O'Callaghan and Mr Edmondos, which resulted in parson and contractor shaking hands and agreeing to bury the hatchet. The action against Mr Tucker, however, for abusive language, will go on.

A member of tho Salvation Army (says an exchange) camo across a drunken man lying in the street ofa Melbourne suburb on Cup Day, and took a watch and chain from him—"For fear," as he naively informed tho magistrates before whom hewas brought up, " that some dishonest parties might coino along and steal it from the poor man." Thie Good Samaritan pot 12 months for his thoughtfulnees. Hallelujah! Next time he sees a drunken man lying in tho street he will probably "pass by on tho other sido." Virtue has a hard time in thia sinful world.

Prince Biemarck made a speech, in which he said tho relations botweon Ger many and Austria wero intimate and cordial, and with other poworß ex cellent. There was good relations with Russia, and beyond a doubt good relations also oxisted with France, though the latter wero more difficult to maintain.

Ho neithor apprehended nor was ho afraid of war with France. It

was not a question of Germany

attacking Franco, but tho pact teaches us that it was imposdblo to roly on per manent peaco with that country. It was

Bulgaria.
