spected any powers which would be conferred by base if
passed, of a permissive character; and the directors were
not about to take an vote from the proprietors epee ea
agreement which would bind the corapasy. What they
asked the shareholders to do was merely to wadies the ha-
sertion of clauses which would empower the eirner
deal with the companies to which the Ms had re
whether for leasing or for entering into any ether kin eeff
agreement. Under these circumstances, it was enneertawy
for him to enter into the merits of the matters hi viatica.
The first bill to which he would call attention was that for
making a railway from Worcester to Hereford, with certain
branches therefrom ; for making arrangements with the
Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal Company, and
with the Midland and North Western Railway Companies,
and for other purposes. This was a short link of rail-
way for which they had bad a very serious stalest in
parliament ; it wee, in fact, the connecting link to which
