Imperial Credit Company. - The eighth ordinary general meeting of the shareholders in this company was held yesterday, at the City Terminus Hotel, Mr W.M. McAndrew in the chair.
It appeared from the report and statement of accounts for the half year ended the 31st December, 1874, that the net available balance, including the sum of 378/. 7s. 2d., carried forward from previous half-year, is 14.338/.8s.7d., which admits of the payment of the usual dividend of 4s. 6d per share, or 6 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, on 60,000 shares. The amount required for such dividend is 13,500/. and the directors accordingly recommended that it should be declared payable on and after the 8th proximo. - - -
After briefly commenting on the report, the chairman moved its adoption, and Sir Leopold G. Heath K.C.B., (a director), seconded the motion; whereupon a discussion of some length arose, in which conflicting views were expressed by shareholders as to the policy of the proposal of the directors as the close of their report. Eventually the report was adopted unanimously with the exception of the suggested scheme of rearrangement of capital, which was referred back to the directors for further consideration. - - -

An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in the Flagstaff Silver Mining Company of Utah was held at the offices in London today. The chairman said the accounts which were to have been received from Utah had not yet been received, and therefore they were not in a position to lay them before the shareholders.
The meeting had to be held on this the 1st day of February, else the shareholders would not have been called together. As soon as the accounts were received, the shareholders would again be called together. He then moved the adjournment of the meeting sine die. Sir Leopold Heath seconded the motion.
A shareholder asked for some information as to the mortgagee of the property, Mr Davis. The chairman said the board had never admitted Mr Davis to be the mortgagee. This question had been a source of great anxiety to the directors, and for the purpose of endeavouring to settle the question, he (the chairman) had been specially discussing matters with Mr Davis, who had recently returned from America to Paris. - -

Pulling out a Horse's Tongue -Abinger. - James Muggeridge, farmer, of Jone Land Farm, Warnham, Sussex, was summoned for having on the 17th Dec. pulled out part of a horse's tongue, in the parish of Abinger. - Mr H.P. Andrews, (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty) prosecuted, and called for imprisonment without the option of a fine. On the night of the 17th Dec. last, when the snow lay so thickly on the ground, the defendant was driving a wagon and two horses along the high road, when according to his own statement, the leader bolted. Not being able to get up to it, he tried to get hold of the shaft horse, and as the bit was out of its mouth, he seized it by the tongue, and held on by it with both hands till it suddenly gave way and part of it came out. A miller, from Oakwood Hill, passed along just afterwards; defendant told him what had occurred, and said he must see his father before he could have the horse killed, as it belonged to him.
Next morning, P.C. Puttock found part of the tongue by the side of the road, and several pools of blood. The horse was sent to Rhodes, at Horsham, to be killed, and the constable went there and secured the other parts of the tongue. The pieces were produced in court and corresponded exactly. - - - Philip Muggeridge, farmer and uncle of the defendant, and also his father, gave witness a character for being kind to them. - The Chairman said no doubt a cruel act had been committed, but the Bench did not think there was that amount of malice about it which the prosecution seemed to allege. It seemed to have been a piece of thoughtless carelessness, and they should mark their sense of the evil of attempting to stop horses in such a way by fining the defendant 40s. and costs. The penalty would have been heavier but that the defendant had already suffered to some extent by the loss of his horse.

Belfast Central Railway Company.
The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the above company was held today at the offices of the company, Tokenhouse Yard. Mr A.C.Sheriff, chairman of the company, presided, and there were also present Sir Leopold Heath, Mr Alexander Young, and Sir Thomas Deakin, directors; and Mr George Davis, solicitor.
The directors report stated that the line had been opened for traffic since the 4th of August last, during which period the company's arrangements for working the mineral traffic from the Abercorn Basin and Oxford Street were completed, but the facilities for working the traffic had not been must as were relied upon. In regard to the goods and cattle traffic, the directors had under consideration the necessary arrangements for the development of the traffic, and as these matured, and the working of the branch effectually commenced, much more favourable results might be looked for.
The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, said the report disclosed a by no means favourable state of things. The greatest difficulty they had had to encounter in the course of their work had been that the arrangements into which their company entered with the Ulster Company for the supply of rolling stock had not been fulfilled by that company to the extent which would satisfy the requirements of that traffic. - - -Mr Thornton wished to know whether the whole £725,000 of authorised capital, of which £575,000 were debenture stock, had been created. The Chairman replied that the whole of the capital had been created, but it had not all been issued. The motion was carried unanimously. The Chairman next stated that the allowance made to the directors was much in excess of what the company, in its present condition, could or ought to pay. The directors therefore proposed to the shareholders that, until better times, the remuneration should be fixed at fifty guineas, to be divided between the whole of the directors. - - -

A Stable Quarrel - William Potter, ginger-beer maker, of Dorking, was summoned for assaulting William Luff at Dorking, on the 18th Feb. - - - The plaintiff, Mr Luff, a lad in the employ of Dr Fisher, Horsham Rd, Dorking, deposed that on the day in question the defendant accused him of having told Dr Fisher something about defendant. On his denying it defendant slapped his face three times, dragged him out of the stable, slapped his face three times more, and then gave him a "drive" in the chest. - - - -He was instructed that the case was much exaggerated, and that the lad only got a good shaking - The Bench thought an assault had been committed, and fined defendant 5s. and 13s. 6d, costs, or 14 days hard labour. - The fine was paid.
A Narrow Escape - William Underwood, keeper of the Rose and Crown public house, West St, Dorking, was summoned for having had his house open for the sale of drink at an illegal hour on Sunday morning, Feb. 21st. - P.C.Tugwell deposed that he went to defendant's house about half-past nine on the morning and found John Croucher and James Hubbard, both Dorking men in the house. They were in the bar but went into the back-room when they saw witness. Croucher said he went there for some potatoes. Witness asked the landlady what business the men had there, and she replied that they had brought some turnip greens. Witness saw some turnip greens there; he turned them over, and found a pint pot under them, nearly half full of beer, which appeared to be freshly drawn. - - - The Chairman said it would amount to a sale or barter if the beer was given for the turnip greens, but the Magistrates were not disposed to look at it in the same light as if the landlady had taken hard cash, and set down the beer before them. The dismissed the defendant with a caution.

The Late Colliery Explosion at Bunker's Hill, Talke, Staffordshire.
A fresh disaster haa brought into notice once more the Pit Village of Talke, in Staffordshire.
In December, 1866 an explosion took place there which brought instant death to ninety-two men and boys; and now again, on the 30th April last, forty-three men and boys, working in the eight feet coal seam of the Bunker's Hill have lost their lives through the same cause.
Nothing can show more clearly the uncertainty which attends the lives of those who raise our fuel, for this colliery has been a worked for twenty years without the occurance a single explosion.
Although accidents causing loss of life on this large scale do not really causing loss of life do no occasion more distress than the accumulated fatalities in coal mines of a few moths, which attract little notice, yet they do present features of peculiar hardship which appeal more forcibly to the public for relief.
A local committee has therefore been formed to raise and dispense a fund for the relief of the twenty-two widows and nineteen children who have been suddenly deprive of their breadwinners and they venture to address this appeal for help ina wider circle than their own immediate neighbourhood.
Donations will received and acknowledged by the Treasurer W. C. Gemmell, Esq., National Provincial Bank, Newcastle, Staffordshire.

The Central Bank of London (Limited)
The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Sir Leopold Heath in the chair.
Mr Alfred Marks, (the secretary) read the notice convening the meeting, and the report of the directors was taken as read. It stated that the available balance was £9,260 11s 10d., out of which it was proposed to pay a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum, to add £1,500 to the reserve fund, which would thereby be raised to £21,500, and to carry forward a balance of £3,760 11s 10d.
The Chairman said there was no item on the accounts calling for special remark, but it might be interesting if he compared the accounts of the present half-year with those of the corresponding half-year of 1874, as it would show the general progress the bank was making. The total amount due on current and deposit accounts in the balance-sheet ending the 30th June, 1874, was £711,000, while it was not £794,000; the reserve fund at the former date stood at £15,000, and it now stood at £20,000. The gross profit made during the half-year, after providing for estimated losses by bad and doubtful debts, was £18,270 in 1874, as against £20,707 in this half year.
The item which was most interesting to shareholders, that of net profit, was not put in the balance sheet in exactly so clear a manner as he himself personally should like, inasmuch as the sum carried over from last half-year appeared in those profits, and to get at the actual net profits made during the half-year they must deduct the sum carried over from the previous half-year in both cases. - - -
Two events of interest to the shareholders had occurred during the past six months: the first was they had taken possession of their new building at Blackfriars, and the second was that a new director had been elected. Having referred to the valuable services rendered to the bank by Mr Latten, the general manager, and staff, and mentioned that no losses had been incurred from the recent heavy failure, he moved the adoption of the report. Mr Rhodes seconded the motion, which was put and carried without discussion.
On the motion of Mr Atrel, seconded by Mr Hammack, a vote of thanks was passed to the manager and staff, and after a similar compliment to the chairman and directors, the meeting broke up.

Alleged Indecent Assault on a Girl.
James Rowland, farm labourer, on bail, was charged with an indecent assault on Harriet Alm Manfield, at Wotton, on the 28th July.
Mr Hubert Wood, of the firm of Wood and Hare, solicitors, Redhill and London defended.
Mr Hart (the Magistrates Clerk) read over the evidence of the prosecutrix taken at a previous sitting. - - It was clear that the girl and two or three boys were larking together,as young people will do; and the defendant, not being sober, and being a stranger to the girl, committed a serious assault in interfering with her as he did. They fined him £2, and £1 12s 6d costs, or two month's hard labour. The money was paid.
Another Assault, - Thomas King, labourer, was summoned for assaulting Thomas William Tuper, at the Holmwood, Dorking on July 25th. It appeared there had been a feud between the two men for some time, and by way of settling the defendant administered a black eye to the plaintiff. He admitted the offence but pleaded the plaintiff had knoced his hat off and otherwise provoked him some time previously.
Fined 10s. and 11s. 6d. costs, or one month's hard labour. Paid.

The City Officers Company
The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in the City Offices Company was held yesterday at the offices of the company, Palmerston Buildings, Bishopsgate St, for the purpose of receiving a report and statement of accounts from the board of directors.Alderman Sir Thomas Dakin occupied the chair.
Mr J. Strike, the secretary, having read the notice calling the meeting, presented the report of the directors upon the operations of the past half year, which stated that the half-yearly accounts of the company made up to the 30th June last, which had been duly audited, showed a balance to the credit of profit and loss of £4,816, out of which they recommended the payment of a dividend of 4s. 6d per share, which would require the sum of £3,825, and leave £991 to be carried to the next account.
The rentals accrued in the half year ending the 30th June last showed an increase of £1,219 over those for the corresponding period of last year.
The Chairman said that the report had the merit of being very brief, and, though he had not much to say to the shareholders, yet the circumstances might excuse his going a little more into detail. Taking the past six months altogether they could not feel dissatisfied, for it had, as every one engaged in commercial pursuits knew, been a very bad one for trade generally, and though the shareholders and the directors might have been very glad if the lettings had been larger, still there was really no cause for complaint. - - Of that total the unlet premises in Great Tower St for only £40; the Lombard St buildings, £620; the Clements House, Clement's Lane, and Lombard
Court figured for £935. - - He concluded by moving the adoption of the report and accounts. Mr Paul Margetson briefly seconded the motion. Some slight discussion of a conversational character ensured in which Mr Leo Schuster, Sir Leopold Heath, Mr Bolton, and Mr Astrill took part. - - -

An extraordinary general meeting of the Javali (Mining) Company was held at the City Terminus Hotel today - Sir Leopold Heath K.C.B., in the chair.
The report stated that the steam-engine sent out in 1874 had been working throughout the greater part of the dry season, resulting in considerable profit beyond that made in the corresponding half of 1874.The gross returns for the current six months amounted to £6,123, as against £3,614 for the same period of 1874.
The chairman called the attention of the shareholders to the improvement in the company's affairs, and trusted the report would be regarded as satisfactory. For his own part he was almost tired of the very sanguine anticipations of the fact, but he could not refrain on that occasion from adding another to the list. He had to state that the 10 new stamps that had been talked of for the past two years had been erected and 30 stamps were not at work, all the necessary machinery being at the mine, and there was nothing to prevent the steady progress of the company. Provided sufficient labour was secured and no more revolutions took place the work at the mine would be continuous, and continuous working meant monthly remittances of £1.590 each. - - - -

The Licensing Act
At the Surrey Sessions, on Monday, before Mr W.Hardman, Christopher Brown, the coachman to Lady Macdonald, Holmwood Knoll, appealed against a conviction by the Justices of Dorking for being in a public-house during prohibited hours. The conviction in question was given on July 3rd by Sir Leopold Heath and a Bench of Magistrate:. —Mr. Oppenheim appeared for the appellant, and Mr. Lilley appeared for the Justices, instructed by their clerk (Mr. John Hart).—The case for the respondents, or Justices, was that on the evening of the 28 th April Police-sergeant Bishop, of the County Police, was passing the White Hart Tavern, Bear Green, near Dorking, about 35 minutes past 11, when he heard singing. He at once went and knocked at the door, and after a lapse of ten minutes the landlord, John Turner, let him in, and on going upstairs he found 17 men, besides members of Mr. Turner’s family. The names and addresses of the men were taken, and some of them, including appellant, were summoned before the Magistrates and convicted. Mr. Turner was also summoned, but the summons against him was dismissed.
—Mr. Oppenheim, on behalf of the appellant, submitted to the Bench that under the 25th section of the Licensing Act, 1872, his client was not liable, because of the exceptions made therein. The appellant was asked to go into this tavern by the proprietor a week before the night in question. He went, and did not pay a farthing for anything he had while there. Now, if he was liable, then he was afraid that if a medical man was called into the house, and was seen by a constable, he also would be liable.—Mr. Turner, landlord of the tavern, said that knowing the appellant for four years, a week before the 28th of April he asked him and some others to come and have a song together. They came, and went upstairs, where malt liquor and tobacco were given them. - - - - inasmuch as he could only E.:lv:. the names of seven or eight of the persons there.—-Chairman said that the appeal would be allowed, and the conviction of the Court below was accordingly quashed.—Mr. Oppenheim applied for costs against the justices, but the Chairman refused the application.

Yesterday afternoon a bazaar was opened the girls' schoolroom, under the patronage Lady Child, and many of ladies of influential families in the district.
The object was to raise money towards reducing the debt of the premises, and towards the cost of repairing and painting Talk Church. The bazaar stock was not extensive, but the articles generally seemed to be of saleable kind. Many of the goods were exceedingly neat and tasteful.
At the entrance to the room was a large Christmas tree, which was laden with toys and trinkets, arrangements being made for showing off to the best effect at night the glitter and spangles, by illumination with coloured wax candles. There was one row of stalls, which filled nearly one side of the room, and they were nicely fitted and decorated, the Misses Marsh-Caldwell having rendered material in the tasteful work which characterised the appearance of the stalls. the other side of the room was that indispensable requisite at bazaars—a refreshment stall, where could be purchased anything within the modest range from a bun to whole cheese.
The lady presidents were Mrs. and Miss M'Hutchin, Miss Valmer, Mrs. Humphrey, Mr. Morris, Mrs. and Miss Hopwood, Mrs. Miss Smith, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Chatfield, Miss. Downing, Mrs. Deacon, Miss Thomas, Miss Beresford, and Miss A. Cooper.
The ladies were ably aided by the Rev W. M. M'Hutchin, vicar of Talk ; Rev. W. A. Wickhain, curate; Viscount de Valrner, and others. The Viscount, who is over from France on a visit, besides his very valuable assistance at the bazaar, had contributed very liberally to the stock. The Countess of sent £10 to the bazaar fund, Miss Riddell (London] £5, and Mr. J. E. Edwards-Heathcote £5.
The bazaar was opened at one o'clock yesterday, but without any formality. Amongst the early visitors were: Miss Marsh-Caldwell, Miss G. Marsh-Caldwell, and Miss R Marsh-Caldwell (of Linley Wood), Mrs. Craig, Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Wood, party from Mrs. Kinnersley's, Mrs. Edwards-Heathcote, Mrs. Buchanan, &c. Purchases were briskly made, and there was every indication of the bazaar proving an agreeable and successful affair.
