South Staffordshire Tramways Company: A lively meeting: The adjourned annual general meeting of the South Staffordshire Tramways Company was to have been held yesterday afternoon, at the Grand Hotel, Birmingham. At the meeting of the shareholders, on the 1st of June at Darlaston, a resolution was passed that the directors and the Shareholders’ Protection Committee should confer with a view to the selection of seven shareholders to investigate the affairs of the company, and the general meeting was then adjourned until the 27th July, when it was to be held in Birmingham. … … (discussion of ongoing situation) … Notwithstanding this intimation a good many shareholders attended at the appointed time yesterday afternoon. … (The Chairman said) … He was sorry so many of the shareholders had been put to the trouble of attending that informal meeting, but had though it his duty to be present, so as to be able to offer any explanation that might be necessary to those who did attend: Several shareholders enquired why the meeting was informal: and Mr. Pinsent asked if that was not the adjourned general meeting of the company. The Chairman: Are you a shareholder? Mr. Pinsent replied that he was. The Chairman ascertained the Mr. Pinsent was not at present a registered shareholder, and he therefore refused to allow him to speak. Mr. Pinsent, I ask that a note be taken of my claim to speak. The Chairman: Certainly not. I refuse to hear you because you are not registered on the books of this company. Mr. Dawson: Is this a regular meeting of the company? Where is the informality? … … (discussion on the process of setting up a committee to meet with the directors).
