In inspecting the last halt yearly mounts ho found that the amount of stores which should have been in hand, according to the balance sheet, differed from the actual amount in the inventory by up wards of 12,0001. On these grounds be pe °- tested against the accounts and dividend about to he declared; also because the engineer of the permanent wa7 had reported to the board that 100,0001. was re quired to be paid by revenue, in order to repair the past deterioration of the permanent way. On the 20th of September Mc 8. Britten, "ac countant to the stores," enumerated stores to the value of 11,7111., "debits not entered" in the m ount ; also issues of stores to the value of 4,7761. not entered. The amount debited for stores bought in the five half-years ending June, 1863, we. no lees than 603,870/., and the stores lamed in the same period were 467,5831. On the 21st of September Me. Broadbent, a ,director th Bidets lleautisa may. wee examined. He slid not see the accounts pre sented at the lard half-yearly meeting until the morning of the meeting. He disapproved of the dividend. Mr. Broadbent proceeded to point out a loss which he considered the company had sustained by the removal of its account to the Union Bank, a step recommended by Mr. Waddington. Mr. Broad bent observes: "Mr. Waddington brought in abater from the Union Bank of Loudon; the purport was. the Union Bank to charge one-half per cent. more on advances than the Bank rate for dismounts, and allow one-half per cent. lees on commission, and would ad vance 100,0001. if waisted." The next two questions and answers we copy verbatim from the report : " Q. Have you noun to believe that suit a letter was a fabrication? A. I have.—Q. Has inquiry bean made of the Union Bank foe a copy of this letter ?—Yes. In reply they sent the copy of a letter, stating terms totally different to those as read by Mr. Waddington, and much lees advantageous to this company." Mr. Broadbent proceeded to remark upon the 111- bury shares transaction. A committee was formed from the board to represent the company's interest, consisting of Messrs. Waddington, Smyth, Ander son, and Lord A. Paget. Mr. Waddington, how ever, induced Mr. Smyth to resign in favour of Mr. Paterson (the Eastern Counties deputy-chairman). Mr. Broadbent continues as follows At first the Tilbury shares were not sought after, but as soon as it was known that Mr. Pete guaranteed them, they rose to a premium of 2j to 21. Soon after, the Tll. bury Company sent 1,091 shares to the Eastern Counties board, being all they bad left, which 1 take was the property of the shareholders, but which four of the directors, viz., Waddington, Lord Paget, Anderson, and Paterson, calling them selves a committee, divided amongst themselves, except 60; which they pre to the secretary, Mr. Owen, a gai nst which I protested; and I told both Mr. Anderson and Mr. Waddington that they would have to refund the premium to the share holders, and told Mr. Waddington this wee a wrong transaction." Questioned as to the stores department, Mr. Broad bent declared that the general management of that department was "as bad as bad °add be." He is then asked, Has the management of this company suffered hi cosesquenes of the appointment of Mr. Waddington as paid chairman ? Me replies " Yes, greatly ; having almost done away with the useful ness of the board. The chairman objected to the stores investigation with all hie might : so did the deputy-chairman. It was proposed to go Mum months backwards, and, seeing that they were fend in this they said three months would be sufilcisat te go back. They were answered that this would ds- feat the object of the inquiry. When carried, the deputy-chairman said that he should like to be spas the committee. The coal traffic, Mr. Broadbent thinks " very unsatisfactory; we are carrying at rates that memos in some cases enormous lose." The tares charged in the Lowestoft district be oonsidererainously low, and, he fears, not at all remunerative. The committee ask, "Is the company inconvenienced by the extra ordinary efforts it makes sometimes to assist the, Norfolk and Eastern Counties Coal Company in their business?" The witness replies :—" Yes; in the anowl storm of 1864 the coals rose from 245. to 60s. per ton, and a great demand was made for locomotive power to bring cads to London for this company. I am of opinion that the company was made seiner- 1 vi rat to the coal company at this time, and that additional expense we. incurred without any increased advantage to the Eastern Counties Com pany." Mr. Broadbent finally declared that Mr. Williams purchased several large quantities of timber for stone of a Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Williams. it appears, married two sisters. Mr. Broadbent says this timber was "purchased without tender, and the whole business was transacted in a most disgraceful way." for them than this, that I hest, in 1830, indeed Mesas. Prior to establish the coal business at Lowe toft, making that place the port of importation. I was at that time chairman of the Norfolk Itailw_ay Company, to whom Lowestoft Harbour belongs. No facilities were afforded to Messrs. Prior other than to the trade in general, nor were they in any way placed upon a more advantageous footing than other parties. Of their common with the Eastern Com pany sines the amalgamation with the Norfolk and ll:astern Union Companies I know nothing, nor have I boon in any way Nearnad in their arrangements. b. It is true, as stated in the evidence, that the da works at Birinahsad, in which I am a part ner, Are constructing twelve engines for the com pany. Bat it was no private order, nor obtained any influence of mine with the board. We Irettl e contract upon public tender as being the lowest. 6.

They amid may come into existence after being authorised by Parliament, and the Eastern Counties shareholders must have given sanction to them before the Act of Parliament could be obtained. It is a mere grateitens pleasantry therefore of the committee to say that these bewails yen made "not so much to benefit the Eastern Mantles Company, as to increase the traffic and profits of Mews. Peto, Betts, and Brawny." 7. The committee call the attention of the share holders to the " injurious effects likely to be pro duced by leasing the Tilbury and Southend line to Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassily." I have only to reply that the Eastern Counties Company having de termined, along with the Blackwell Railway Com pany, that it was politic to construct that line, we were invited to become lessees of it, as the founda tion upon which alone it could be constructed and the capital obtained. We consented, and terms were negotiated, and a bargain struck, to which we have faithfully adheredever since. It was indispens able to us that we should have the power of fixing the rates into London over the four miles of existing railway belonging to the Eastern Counties and Blackwell Railway., er we structing 38 ogles of new railway without any en trance into London except over such four miles, and that power was conceded to us by our lease, and is confirmed by Act of,Parliament previously submitted to the general meeting of shareholders. When the line was in course of construction we, knowing that we had to work it, applied to the Eastern Counties and Blackwell Companies, as pos. sassing large locomotive establishments, to con ' tract to work it for us. The Eastern Counties Company made to us a tender which we accepted , and we believe the contract is much more remunera tive to that company than stated by the committee. But even that is no concern of ours. We offered the work to both companies, and contracted with the Eastern Counties. We neither did nor could in fluence that company to show us any favour. The contract was the result of fair competition. 8. To the allartion in the evidence that the Nor folk line was originally imperfectly constructed and with improper materials. I give the most formal sad positive contradiction. The works were all executed under written contracts and elaborate specificotions, and they were neither accepted nor paid foe until they bad been approved by the engineer of the own pony. As a further answer to these allegations, and as evidencing the satisfaction of Mr. Robert Stephen son with the manner in which I performed my con tracts for railways in the Eastern districts, I ex tract the following conclusion from hie certificate of 29th June, 1848, awarding me the sum of 1,122,2831.: " In thus giving my final decision on these heavy contracts, I feel it my duty to state that many large and unforeseen contingencies have occurred, and have required the greatest energy on the part of Mr. Peto; and it affords me satisfaction to add my testimony of the willing, efficient, and un flinching manner in which they have been met."

TO TUT ADITOL, imperfect version of the evidence alleged to have been gives by me, before the Committee of Investigation of the Eastern Counties Railway, havinif been published, I am compelled to trocUs yea with the real facts of the esee. I was appointed by Mr. Robert Stephenson (the worse between the nutern Counties Railway Com pew and Mr. J. V. Gooch) to examine and make thoroughly acquainted with the state of the gelling stock of the lines. in order to its being main tained in a state of efleiency during the term of Mr. Geoeh's contract. I was therefore requested to attend upon the committee on the 29th October, and to afford them all the information in my power; this I did is an interview lasting one hour and three quarters, when @objects of great interest and importance wore itisenesed. I was surmised that a short hand writer l wee not employed. but that notes of my evidence were made by or under the dictation of the chairman, mg dome not, in all cases, in accordance with my 'gift besides omitting in* which, in my gain% wassesential to elucidating the truth. I therefore applied far a copy of the notes taken, is air to their being corrected. My request was, howtmer, refused; and when I wrote on the follow ing day to the committee. the letter (copy of which is etiolated) "offering to revise the totes." "and thus to furnish full and accurate information"--se "my evideoce was so imperfectly recorded as to be liable to mislead any who might reed it"—the only reply I received was that the cos. mitten " considered the evidence so little important' that they would either " send it for revision; sr, what appeared to them preferable, expunge k altogether ;" and stating that my " evidence had at my request been read over to me before I left the no% and that I approved it." To this my re was, " that the committee were at liberty to decide whether my evidence should be expunged, bat I de nied that the notes had been approved by me. The evidence was not sent for correction. but to my stir prise it is published in the incomplete form objected to by me, as calculated to mislead and to produce a false impression. Now as the trustworthy character of the Report must mainly depend upon the truthful ness and completeness of the minutes of evidence, it the statements of other witnesses have been treated as mine were, and appear in as incomplete and distorted a form, the Report cannot be worthy of much credence, or be of any value to the shareholders of the Eastern Counties Railway.—l ant, Sc., GEORGE BERKLEY. 24, Great George-street, Westminster, Deo. 8.

A further examination of Mr. Waddy ' the book keeper to the company, on the 13th of September, showed that the total receipts from Lowestoft Har bour from June 1861, have been 29,8611., and the expenses 24,08-41., leaving a balance of re c eipt s of 6,7871. Up to the 31st Dec., 1863, the Norfolk Company shared these exposes in common with the Eastern Comities Company, bat for the bat year and a half the Norfolk Company have borne on l y at the eats of 48 par cent. working expenses on their po porde" of the earnings, whilst the per montage of the expenses to the Eastern Counties Company has been 81 per sent., mating a loss to this company at the rate of 36 per cent On the 14th of September, the evidence of Mr. Owen, the secretary, proved that the directors es osived the accounts for the last half-yeet,frem..Lba bookkeeper on the 24th August. 1666, and ea the same day agreed to declare the dividend of 4s. 6d., although these accounts had not been examined by the auditors. To this proceeding Mesas. Brace and Simpson, out of the members of the board, ob jected. No steps were taken to invite the auditors to meet the directors, in consequence of the auditors re porting against the amounts. It appears there are no less than eleven committees formed out of the board. The members of these committees are pro posedsisai% Mr. Waddiugtcn, and, when so proposed, elected. The desisious of these committees are " legally absolute," bat are ocessiocally discomed at the board, and on some occasions have been amended. Besides these committees, there is another, called the diem' committee, which "was formed during Mr. Hadscia's time, and to a very great ex tent mama the fasedese of the directors." Mr. Weddingtea is also the chairman of this committee, bat no ether member of the board is on it. The Akers esmpeeing this committee are the goods ma nager, the Issomotive superintendent (Mr. Gooch), the esselliag superintendent, the out-door manager, the eagissar, and, until lately, the storekeeper. On the 17th of September, Mr. N. Davis, the " treasurer" to the company, was examined. He stated that very long credits, and for a "'rye:tansies amount, are given for the carriage of coal to the Norfolk and Eastern Counties Coal Company (in which Mr. Gooeh was one of the chief partners), to the Hartlepool Company, and to Messrs. Coots. The committee's inquiries elicited the information from Mr. Davis that he has a private banker, and applies his private account there to the credit of the com pany . In explanation be says, " All emery beakers' cheques are paid by me out of my private account; I pay in all country cheques to my pri vate amount, to keep the accounts straight" He has no books to show these transactions. As a rule, he retains some of the company's mosey in head. Of "last week's" receipts he had paid in 17,7221., leaving a balance of about 6001. for him to account for. Mr. Owen, the secretary, was hers called io, and expressed his conviction that Lowesto ft Harb our is attended with "a very considerable Ices per N." The committee print in italics the following questions and answers:—" Q. Do you know the sum received for the conveyance of cattle A. The charge for conveyance of cattle from Lowestoft is 6a per head. Q. Do you' not charge from Norfolk and Cambridge shire nearly three times as much ! A. Tee." The accounts of the Norfolk and Eastern Usicia Compa nies, Mr. Owen mentions, have not been kept separate, but he has " always ensidered that the time w ould arrive when it woad be very desirable that they should be eo kept separate." Mr. N. Davie was here recalled and stated that he receives a special "allowance" of " sixpeaos per ant sometimes more." out of which be males 701. or a year. Mr. Brae, a director, was next ethesined. He thought Mr. Davis paid is all = sad moneys daily through the company's It is the first time be ever heard that a I , sharp is made by Mr. Davis to the company for sash cheque he receives on a banker. not payable in 'An don. Mr. Broom was then asked is What way does a proper examination take place of the amounts of psi bought for the stores department, and in reply made some surprising revelations.

This motion was mated the an chairman (Mr. Wsddiagton), who said that Williams's feelings:oeibt not be " insulted" by such a demand, Mr. Williams being "a gentleman. The maim was also opposed by the deputy-chair man (Mr. R. Paterson), who stated that the inquiry ought to be limited to the period since the let of January. Mr. Bruce however, persisted, sad brought the matter before the board, and, having them shown that several articles had been par sired at from 40 to 60 per cent. above their market value, the board agreed to his regalia= that a return should be furnished by Mr. Williams. the stessiteeper.
