SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAY

ADJOURNED SPECIAL MEETINO.

The adjourned special meeting of the Shrewsbury
and Chester Railway Company wu held at Chester, on
Saturday, fur the purpose of deciding, under the Wham-
cliffs order, on the bills now belero the Rouse of Lords
for the amalgamation of the above company with the
Great Western and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Com-
panies; and, secondly, for the amalgamation of the two
Shrewsbury Companies.
A formal resoluti approving of the bill was proposed
by:the Chairman, and seconded by the Deput,y•Chairman.
Upon a show of hands a considerable majority appeared
against the motion.—The Chairman declared the motion
last.—A poll was then demanded, and at the mguest of the
proprietary Mr. Out& was appointed a scrutineer on the
part of the shareholders opposed to the meuure, to act in
conjunction with Mr. Lowe, who was nominated on behalf
of the directors. . _ _

It was then agreed that the consideration of the bill for
the amalgamstion of the two Shrewsbury companies should
be gone sato, after which the scrutineers could enter upon
their duties in respect of the first bill.
The CHAIRMAN having moved the usual formal resolu-
tion approving the bill, and the catch words of the bill
having hen read by the solicitor,
Mr. ROY wished to say a few weeds in reference to the
measure now before them. He desired it to be clearly
understood that the present measure was entirely distinct
from the bill for the amalgamation with the Great Western
Company, which he might designate as a bill affecting their
external policy,. and upon which a difference of opinion
was known to exist. The measure now before them related
only to their internal economy, and was promoted solely
for the purpose of securing a saving in the working and
general management of the two lines.
Mr. Memo would accept a pledge, on the part et the
directors, that the bill contemplated nothing beyond a eon-
solidation of the two eenerrna for purposes of economy. '
The CHAIRMAN said the board had not the least limits-!
lion in giving that pledge.
After some further discussion it was agreed that the '
.• pietist." should be incorporated in the formal resolution,
which was passed nem. con., with these words in addition,
"and the directors pledge themselves that, in the event of
any material alteration being made in the bill not aplr;74.d
by Mr. Gutch in its progress through the House of
the ball shall be withdrawn."

The meeting was then adjourned to four o'clock ; it was
not, however, until six o'clock that the following report of
the scrutineers was laid before the proprietors :
We report that hovieg given erect to the revocation of
prolico, the result of the votes is as follows :
