At the time when that share was first

When a mighty 'mistake Was Mae.
The city had from Queen Elizabeth
,authority to build a municipal water
se -tam with its source in the River
Lea and the chalk hills of Hertford-
abire, but the corporation made the
greatest mistake of its life and amend
the privilege over to canny old Hugh
alyddleton, who was a goldsmith and
a bit of a capitalist besides. His com-
pany, called the Adventuiers Com-
pany, was incorporated by letters pat-
ent in 1619. He built his system in
the shape of one long stream nearly
600 miles in extent, straight from the
k hills to Clerkenwell, and there
be estabished his reservoir. He had -
al. eady bought property in Hertford-
shire and aliddlesey counties, and 140NV
he bought up fifty acres in Clerken-
well, which was then merely a ham. -
let village outside the city of London,
But after that he came to grief. His
money was all gone. He asked the
King, James L, for some, and the
King gave him $43,000, and took hall
the shares in his company in. return.
There were seventy-two shares in all.
and thereafter the two classes of
shares have been known as the King's
Moiety and the Adventurers' Moiety,
the latter being the most valuable, as
it was expressly agreed that the King
ashouid have no governing power in
the company.
Where Charles X. Got Left.
Just wbat happened to the company
after that is more or less of a mystery.
The next. time we hear a It is the be-
ginning of the civil war. The King't
shares were still in the hands of the
Crown, and it was at this time that
Charles I., who needed money badly
then, disposed of the entire thirty-six
shares to Sir laugh Myddleton, the
founder's son, with the famous agree-
ment that the compeller should there-
after pay the Crown $2,500 a year as
an annuity. It was then called tea
Clogg," and it is called to to
this day.

there was presumed to be no maraet
