UASTERN UNION RAILWAY BILL.-
Li To all the PREFERENCE SHAREHOLDERS of the
EASTERN UNION RAILWAY COMPANY :
I beg to inform you that this repudiating bill has passed, not-
withstanding illy strenuous opposition to its unrighteous prin.
elide. The means by which it hail been passed I shall take an
opportunity of waking very publicly known, and I trust my so
doing may lead to these important and sacred questions of pro-
perty being dealt with before more competent tribunals than the
present parliamentary ones.
The immediate object of the present advertisement is to in.
form you that, under the act as it has passed, you are entitled not
only to one lituulred and nine pounds for every one hundred
pounds of principal money, and so in proportion, but also to all
your arrears of interest or dividends up to tile time at which this
compiuly may pay you the ono hundred and nine pounds per
cent. Do not be deluded by any statement that may be made to
you us to there being any doubt about your being legally entitled
to all arrears of interest or dividends over and above the one
hundred and nine pounds per cent. Since this Company dishes
nourably raised a doubt upon that subject, I have, through my
eminent legal advisers, investigated it, and have also the opinion
of counsel that there is no doubt whatever that you must be paid
the whole of your arrears before the common shareholders can
ever receive a farthing of dividend. You know from what is past
that 1 shall continue to do my best.—l um, respectfully,
THOMAS STURGE.
