5. The plaint was filed on March 7, 1919. On April 1, 1919, an extraordinary meeting was held of the defendant company at which in effect the plaintiff's suit was repudiated, and the company affirmed the past mode of dealing between the first defendant and the company, and also the course which defendant No 1 had taken in regard to the matters complained of in the plaint. At that meeting the plaintiff was in a minority of one. Everybody there who was present in person or by proxy voted against him, so that quite apart from what I may call the interested votes of the first defendant and his co-directors, there was an independent majority against the plaintiff. It does, however, appear that some thirteen shareholders holding in all twenty- six shares did not attend the meeting either in person or by proxy, but in any event their voting would not have affected the result actually arrived at.
