I THE CITY OF THE JUST. By THOMAS TERRELL, K.C., I- OF THE SOUTH WAUBS CIRCUIT (JOINT AUTHOR OF LADY DELMAS^V CHAPTER VII-Continued. Directors and Promoters "That is a new name," remarked the pro- moter. "All the better for that; besides, it roumdfl the thing off well. The peerage to lead, the Army, the Bar, and the Church. Ah—ah— w; it's very funny, isn't it?" "Bat it answers." "Yes, it works. The British public, cautious and chary, always bearing in mind that 'fools rush in where angels feaj- to tread, will rush in here. I see them scrambling for allotments like schoolboys for marbles. Big names, my boy—big and respectable all; and damn the scheme, if it were to convert melont into chariots and fonr-a. la Cindarellar-tili. British public would erwallow it, and planl down their golden sovereigns, eh. Cobham, ol< man. The man who discovered that littl. weakness deserved to be canonised by the City." ■Mr Cobham did not like this boisterouf mood in Mr. Wïnstaple. The broker ha become frank—brutally fra.;nk-.and Mr. Cob- ham was one of those who bore office as a churchwarden in Sydenham; who, when ht stepped into the train every evening at lion don Bridge, left the cares and anxieties of the City behind, and became a. respectable and respected member of the semi-detached aris tocra.cy of Forest Hill. He felt bound to protest. "You appear to doubt the soundness of the 'Silver Streak,' Winstaplc; to doubt it, I say; and if I thought-" "If you thought what?" "Well. if I thought that-" then there was a gesture which was intended to fill up the rest of the sentence. "I should just like to know, Cobham. what you do think; do you mean to tell me that you -would subscribe to the 'Silver Streak, yourself, for instance?" ''I have 110 money. If I had-" and there was another gesture, which might have meant "I would." or "I would consider it," or "I would not." The broker, however, as I have said, was in a boisterous mood, and he did not intend to let Mr. Cobham with his religious scruples off. "r suppose you are not such an ass as to believe that 'The Silver Streak Gold Mining Company. Limited,' will ever pay a dividend?" "Of course I do. Do you think, Wmstaple, that I. a man of position, and-I hope I am always modest—a man of religion and prin- ciples would assist, with my name in floating this scheme if I did not consider it a really good—speculation. The broker roared with laughing. After a moment, during which Mr. Cobham looked indignantly astonished. "Speculation! Jerusalem! what speculation; why you sanctimonious old idiot, you know as well as I do thefe isn't an ounce of gold in the whole place," and Mr. Winstaple gave jjay again to hia sense of kumour. "But there might be," responded Mr. Cob- ham, trying hard to keep up appearances with himself. "Might be! there isn't—isn't—isn't—isn't," snouted Mr. Winstaple. emphasising the repetition with his fist on the table. "Winstaple," answered the promoter, with an air of solemnity, "yon are joking. If I believed you, even for a moment, I would have nothing more to do with it. I should con- sider it very wrong—very wrong, indeed; as it is, of course I know you are joking; I know it very well, and if you were to swear you weren't I shouldn't believe you. Now, what about Johnson and Jackson? I onght. to tell you I saw Jackson yesterday, and they are ready to make a market; they have arrange- ments with half-adozen members of the House to keep the thing lively for at least a month; then by that time we most get a Quotation." Winstaple was willing to allow his scrupu- lous co-operator to ride off on this side ma-tter. There was nothing to be gained by pushing him too far, particularly as the man went straight enough, so long as he was not put in conflict with that extraordinary quality which he had substituted for his conscience. "That's all right. Now you had better see Moses of the Financial Poster," and get a line put in at once. Something to this effect: 'Rumours are in the air that one of the most important—if not the most important—gold properties will be offered to the public in the course of a few days; it is said amongst people who ought to know that the vendor has sold at a mere song—not a year's yield, in fact. The shares are being eagerly dealt in at long premiums; there will be money made by the lucky ones who get allotments.' tm s. Tell Moses I'm in the swim, and he won't be forgotten, and then your can manage the smaller sharks easily enough." "Yes; I'll draw up something fetching; then day by day we must follow it up until the list is opened. I forgot to tell you I have arranged for a meeting of the board to- morrow ai my office; shall you be there? I got Softsoap to register the company yester- day; I saw no time wae to be lost." "I will attend—cut what time?" "Two, sharp." "Bight. But, Cobham, how do you reconcile all this with your—religious scruples I think you called the things?" added the broker maliciously. "I sincerely trust, Wiiwbaple, that as the result of our laboare the shareholders will be amply rewarded," and with that he took up has umbrella, put on his well-polished hat, and departed. Mr. Winstaple was too much surprised to laugh. "If I conld only humbug myself like laugh. "If I <xmld only humbug myself like that, what a happy man I should be," be mused, as he heard the promoter's steady steps on the stairs. The meeting of the b>>arcl came off the fol-1 lorwing day, ne arranged. Mr. Winstaple had not thought it desirable to eummoii the rector from AValee; these were many reasons, ;»niong«t them that, at wjis best the boarxl rector from AValee; these were many reasons, ;»niong«t them that, at wjis bc-st: the board should be jn working order before he put in an appearaaice. Then the rector was neces- sary where he was, with one eye on Winifred anil the <.>ther, no doubt, on l>r. Eccles, and it would be very unwise to withdraw him from that important occupation. Lord Portekewet &at at the head of the table, with tir Richard Beal to his right, and Mr. Josiah Simple to his left; at, the bottom was Mi*. Sihepston-Jones—with a hyphen. Mr. Shepston-Jones was a eon-m-law of Mr. Gob- Lum, and his name appeared upon the pro6- pectus of all the companies promoted by that gentleman as "secretary pro tern." The "secretary pro t-eni." was well up in his duties. He had his usual books before him to be called for if required by "my board," and he had a memorandum book in which he made entries of proceedings at board meetings. altered them when 11 eceasary or expedient. copied them into his agenda book, and then submitted them for signature, which, with such a bofiinesw-like board as this, was done as a matter of course. "The first thing will be for the secretary to read the mimuucs of the laat meeting," re- ma.rked ube riaiwnaii^ "I beg pardon, my lord," remarked Mr. Shepston-Jones, "this is the first meeting of the directors of The Silver Streak Gold Mining Company. Limited." "Ah—yes, of course, how absent of me. It is two o'clock; I am due at the meeting of Benson Flats, limited, at three, and I made a mistake; this is our first meeting as direc- tors of a company, which I have no doubt will, under our fathering care, be a very suc- cessful company. I look upon my companies as I would upon my children. I have not been blessed with children in the proper sense; with me the ancient earldom of Ports- kewet becomes extinct. It is a sad recolleo- -ion, but I truist-I very sincerely trust that the name and title I bear will be remembered in the future aG that of the pioneer of many successful—very successful commercial enter- prises. Do you know, Beal, I sometimes hope Lhat these companies over which I preside will )e called Portskewet companies, and eo the old title would not die out after all, what do you think?" and the noble iord refreshed himself with a pinch of snuff. "Perhaps, my lord, the board would like the assistance of Mr. Cobham and Mr. Win- staple to inform you as to how matters are ) regressing," interrupted Mr. Shepston-Jones, who was aware of the weak points in his lord- ship's character, and thought it as well to get, to business. "Quite right. Jones; send for Cobham." Thereupon the promoter and the broker1 took their seats at the board; there were friendly nods round, and after a few pre- liminary remarks Mr. Winsta.ple began- "Proposed by the chairman, and seconded by Sir Richard Beal, that the prospectus of the company, a copy of which was read and is hereto annexed, be issued. That is carried, I presume. Have you got it down?" he inquired of the secretary. "Stay," said the colonel, "I ought to see the prospectus." "A mere matter of form. my dear sir, answered the Queen's counsel. "Oh! very well; if you say so, of course. I apologise, go on." "Proposed by Sir Eichard Beal, and seconded by Mr. Josiah Simple, that the abridged pros- pectus be inserted in the ordinary news- papers," continued Mr. Winstaple, dictating to the secretary. "Wait," interrupted Mr. Oobha-m. "had wei not better get a resolution to go to the publics put in first?" "Yes, of course; I had forgotten, that, replied Winstaple. So all the resolutions were duly proposed,, and seconded, and carried; and if any judge should h<?Teafte>r make inquiries as to the pro- ceedings at this board meeting he would find everything duly recorded in the agenda. book, scrupulously kept by the secretary pro tern.; and he would further find that the chairman and board were duly paid their fees for the important.,lahours they had undergone on behalf of their brother shareholders. "LJ that all?" inquired Lord Portskewet, wiibfet a sigh of relief. "r will get these Out for signature. wo should have another meeting on Friday," answered Mr. Shepston-Jones. "Same time, I suppose?" asked the colonel, wtho having tasted blood in the 6hape of directors' fees was eager to follow the scent. "I would prefer it a, little earlier," remarked the peer; he was am old and well-established guinea pig, with many appointments on his note-book. The time was arranged and the board, difrt persed. Mr. Cobham was left with Mr. Winstaple. "That was a nice little note in the "Poster" -a, very nice liitle note," said the latter. "You think I can do my work well some- times, then?" "My dear Cobham. you do not, I hope, dektde yourself with the idea that I do businQgs with, you because you are beautiful, or wealthy, or influential, or a hundred other things." "What is it, then. to which I owe the felkaty of your patronage?" asked the promoter in more testy tones than he was in the habit of using. "If you must know, it is to your delightful hypocritical cheek." "Really, Winstaple, I do not understand you. Of late you have been-well, to say the loasa of it-rude, positively rnde to me; I am hurt, I tell you plainly I am very much hurt, after so many years-" "Don't say any more about it, old man; but that note, you cannot be surprised. I was completely knocked off my perch—as the parrot said—after your piom remarks of yes- terday. That note! oh, lord!" and Mr. Win- staple could not resist the temptation of ft hearty laugh. Mr. Gobham was secretly pleased; his vamty was flattered, for it W".18 evident the broker? was delighted with the paragraph he had written and got inserted; and however much. Mr. Cobham might, from time to timle, be offended with Mr. Winstaple, he was suffi- ciently impressed with the aatutenm amdi business capacity of tha.t gentleman to be overjoyed when he clapped his hands )0 approval. There was a good deal of trouble to be gone through yet with "The Siiver Streak Gold Mining Company." The directors were obtained, and the prospectus was sketched; out and ready, with all the other neoeasatry names, true; otlt that is not all that is needed to float successfully a public company—t^. is in the way in which the British pqtblio require that a company should be floated. Some of the underwriting had yet to be done. Some of the underwriting had yet to be done, and then, a-ithough the '^Financial Poster'* land its presiding deity, Moses, "h^ been arranged with, and was now going etirong nt favour of the new enterprise; there was a. whole shoal of other papers of equal honeety but of not so large influence and drcuriation. to be propitiated.

Now, the pro- cess of floating public companies, and the persons who really float them, but, whose names are carefully kept in the background, isucb as Mr. Cobham and Mr. Winsfcaplej are well-known to certain other persons, who are proprietors, or editors, or advertisement can- vassers of financial newspapers; and these persons make a living, and often enough a fortune, by blackmailing the promoters.
