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. Fo7 tone Ilia Slagle share. Up till 1870, for various reason' there was presumed to be no maraet for the shares, and holders who wish - c1 to sell generally placed themselves Th communication with tbe secretary, of the company, who found a buyer. Since that year, however, shame have almoet invariably been auctioned, the business having been in the hands of an old firm of auctioneers Edwin Fox Bousfield, The price of the Adventurers' shares always of late has been in excess of 5900,000, the record :purchase, $540,000. though the coneideration morn t tioned in the original rullaewed ald eurap Of paper was $1.250.
