THE BOORNIDIOUTII RAILWAY •PD MIL C. WARM,
M.P.—nn Wednesday a punier, meeting woe held at the
Town-hall, convened by public notice for eight o'clock,
but shortly before that time the crier was ordered to go
round and postpone the meeting until Thursday
evening; it was, however, too late, for at half-past
seven the neighbourhood of the Town-hall was crowded,
end the hall was very soon filled. The crowd made
repeated calla 'or Mr. Warrior. IIP. (who was in the
Council Chamber with the Railway Committee). but
that gentleman did not think proper to leave the work
he had in hand, therefore the mob called in vain. The
crowd in the neighbourhood of the hell conticuei tn
increase, and many persons who had come from a
distance expressed themselves in strong terms of con-
demnation at the imposition which had been practised on
them in calling them frees their homes for nothing.
In consequence of these circumstances the hall wee
taken possession of by the crowd, and, after a diverting
shores abo it railway swindling, railway jobbery, cheers
for Mr. Hely, calls for the gas to be lighted, An, Mr.
Edsall was celled to the chair, and an " indignation
meeting" commenced. Mr. It. &Bien addressed the
meeting on the subject of the cost delays and excuses
In railway matters, and at last proposed the following
resolution :—" That this meeting is pained at the
necessity of having to separate without having the
opportunity afforded it of discussing the business for
which it was called, and it records its sense and iodic-
nation at the way in which the town is treated in all
railway matters. This resolution was pet to the
meeting, after having teen seconded by Mr. J. Collins,
of Parkstone, and carried without a single dissentient
with mush cheering. A vote of thanks to the chairman
closed the proceedings. On Tberoday evening another
meeticii was held, when the hall was densely crowded
in every part. Mr. Aldermen Styling presided. Mr.
C. Waring, M.P.. AO :eased the meeting on rallies',
matters. He saklldfflehe intended to satisfy the meet-
ing that he had Welled every promise that be had
made, so far as it was humanly posaible to do PO. He
had promised to go to Parliament and obtain a bill.
, This had been done. He had engaged that the line
should be made. They were in a fair way of reslieing
, that engagement, for with respect to the completion of
two-thirds of the work there was an absolute certainty
I of accomplishment. The South-Western Cowpony wire
I bound in • penalty of 00 a day to continue the line
from Canford to Seldo•n field next year, and would be
oSliged to complete it the year following. If thee did
not do it they would have to pay between £lB,OOO and
£19,000 per annum, which in five years would amount to
s sum double what it would cost to make the line. The
South-Western Company were net go ng t i lay them-
selves open to this penalty. Therefore be raid that the
line would be made. Mr. Waring read the following
resolet.on passed unanimously by the railwey com-
mittee on Wednesday evening :—"Thst the committee
baying heard the atatement of Mr. Waring, as to the
present position of the railway projects for the promo-
ton of which this committee was formed, express their
full confidence in hiss and in his future effort, to carry
out the constructiun of those railways, and pledges itself
to co-operate with him in his future endeavours to
accomplish that object." Mr. Creche coned fired Mr.
Waring entitled to the confidence of the a ciety. Mr.
Wilkinson proposed • resolution, "That this meeting
having heard the resolution passed by the Poole Railway
Committee, approves and confirms the same" Mr.
Lankester seconded the reaolution. Mr. R. Belben pro-
posed as an amendment, "That this dietriet owes
nothing to Mr. Charles Waring in re-pert of railway
accommodation. That his promise* to the town of
Poole, in 1865, have been constantly evaded, and that
this meeting, speaking in the name of the town, declarer
its confidence to have been abused." Mr. R. Sydenlom
seconded this reeolution, but spots a show of hands
there were not a einxin in favour of it. The original
motion was put to the meeting and carried amid
acclamation. A. vote of thanks to the Chairman closed
the proceedings.
