£50,000, divided into 5,000 shares of £10 each, to
£27,750, divided into 3,700 shares of £7 10s. each,
and that such reduction be effected by cancelling
capital which has been lost to the extent of £2 10s.
per share upon each of the 3,700 shares which have
been issued, so that £2 5s. only shall be deemed to
have been paid on all shares already issued which
are not fully-paid-up shares, and by cancelling 1,300
shares which have not been issued,"—
be confirmed; and let this order be produced to the Registrar
