ordinary half-yearly meeting was held on Friday at the
Waterloo Station ; Captain Mangles in the chair. The
report, which has been published, was taken an read.
The Chairman moved its adoption, remarking that the
prospeete of the company were progressing satisfactorily.
The only lines authorised, but not commenced, were
the Poole extension. 31 miles, and the Torrington
extension from Bideford. The Application to Parlia-
ment to relieve them from the liability in regard
to =Aim' the latter had failed, and they had had, as
be thought most unfairly, to pay the costs of the
other side. It wan not proposed, therefore, to ask
authority to go to Parliament for anothee bill for the
same object, as it would be almost certain to meet
with the same result as that of the former applies-
tins—( hear, hear, and " no, no") Well, that was
the opinion of the board—(bear, hear). The ques-
tion, therefore, as to applying to Perlisment, narrowed
itself to the dropped line from Canford to Poole to join
the Poole and Bournemouth line-, and with regard to
that it had been intimated by the chief landed pro-
prietors on the proposed line, that if the application for
further time to construct was merely • subterfuge to
get rid of the liability it would be oppeeed, and the
power of these gentlemen was so great that he believed
the company would have no thence against their opposi-
tion. Ther.fore be advised the meeting to go to the
proposed applic•tion for an estensieu of time, with a
bond fide intention of tarrying out the line.—Mr.
Villeboisnet oppased the carrying out of the Poole
branch, and all further expenditure for extensions.—
The Chairman said that the directors were as much
emceed to extensions as the shareholders, but they
could not help themselves.—Mr. Pagan expressed a
general approval of the report, and hoped that the
board would not incur any useless expenditure in
endeavouring to get rid of lines the authorised
abandonment of ehich they believed to be hopeless,
The resolution affirming the report was nuaninthealy
screed to. The dividend at the rate of 51 per cent,
subject to income tax, rayable uu the let of March, was
then resolved upon. The directors retiring by rotation
and the auditon were re-elected. A motion was carried
authorising the director. to take such steps as they
might deem advisahle in reference to hills introduced by
other parties. The meeting was then made special, and
a resolution was proposed, affirming • bill for °enforcing
further powers upon, and for amending the Acts relating
to the London and South-Western Railway Company,
one of its objects being to extend the time for oompleting
the authorised Poole junction.- Mr. Padden opposed
the motion with • direct negative, being averse to any
increase of capital.—Mr. iderjeant °melee, while pre-
pared to mooed any motion for closing the capital
account, reminded the shareholders that the object of
the bill we. to provide means for fulfilling thy aaree-
went& to which they were already aommitted, and from
which, in the face of the powerful opposition they would
be certain to meet with, Parliament was likely to relieve

obtained the sanction of Parliament to the abandonment
or to .o[ol3 delay they were bound to complete the Poole
and Bideford extension lines by 1871, under the penalty,
provided by the Act, of e:5O a day. They had attempted
to obtain Parliamentary sanction for the abandonment,
end had -ailed, the costs of the application having been
£1,700. Of the capital already authorised, a Lege
proportion depended upon the carrying out of the lines
In question, and it was further necessary to provide
capital for permanent works which were not fairly
chargeable to revenue, and the liability for which had
been incurred.—Ultimately Mr. Padden withdrew him
opposition, which had thken the shape of an amendment
directed speeilimelly against the proposed themes of
capital, thd the resolution as proposed by the chairman
was agreed to, as was a wooed, authorising a hal for an
extension of the time for completing the Bideford and
Torringlon line, and ths usual roes of thanks coneledied
the ptomaine.
