with the latter. A rewlution seas proposed, and with a
slight emendation, carried, approving of the steps taken to
prevent this company from being prejudiced by any
changes that may arise from the alteration of arrangements
of companies between Birkeuheid and Birmingham, awl
wticularly in aiming at the maintenance. of an indepen-
dent line film Birkenhead to the Great Western Company ;
and thereby securing the traffic which must naturally fiVW
aver this fine front the south and south-east of England.

be by lease or sale, the meeting broke up, all parties ap-
pearing well satisfied.
