moved, and an arrangement come to be.ween the two boards which
must be satisfactory to the shareholders in both companies ; and, by
placing the entire scheme under one man igement, greatly facilitate
the profitable working of these lines. The terms of the arrange-
ment are the following:—The Chester and Birkenhead shares
are to be taken at 331., upon which the proprietor. are to
rewire interest for three years from the first of January, IS 17
