YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND.

The following is the first part of the third report of the
committee of investigation to be laid before the meeting of
the shanholden on the 31st of October, 1849 :
" At the desire of your committee, the board of directors
have called a general meeting of the shareholders for the 31st
instant, before which time your otinualtise hope to present
the concluaion of this report, containing amuck information
as they have been able to collect and digest ; but they beg
leave to submit, previously, the following statement of the
circuuestasoss which induced them to all you together before
their final report wee ready.
" Your committee feel greatly disappointed that their
labours have boon so long protracted, which has been oeca-
*lamed by the procrastination and delay to which they have
had to submit before they could extract the requisite infor-
mation from the officials of the company. As an instance of
this kind, they may mention the fact, that it was not till the
bth of the present month that your committee received
the ratans and statements of the accountant employed by
the directors to make up the accounts for the period of 1845
and 1846, between the last balance of the old books and the
opening of the new ones, referred to in your committee's
knew report. Until these amounts were made up, and the
results farsialsed to your committee, it wee not possible for
the committee's accountant to complete his report of the
capital accounts of the company from the commencement,
and even now the statements of the directors' accountant flit-
fer in their results from the half-yearly published accounts of
the company of the 30th of Jaw, 1846, and require to be
reconciled or explained.
" You committee have had to contend, not only with the
difficulties inseparable from the investigation of a large
undertaking, which bad been conducted for so many years
without any fixed system, and without proper books or re•
cords of proceedings of any kind, but they have had to do so
without the cordial support and assistance of the directors,
and in the face of a general manager with whom they are at
variance, who receives the full support of the directors, and
whose authority over the whole establishment is maintained
by the directors against the repeated remonstrances of your

committee.
" The first subject en which your committee had the mis-
fortune to differ in opinion from the directors was with regard
to Mr. Peter Clarke, who war engaged by Mr. Hudson io
January last ea general manager, at a 'slaty of 1,2001. a
year.
In their lint report your committee informed you of the
part taken by this gentleman in =akin/ up the half-yearly
statement of your accounts to the 31st Danaher last. These
accounts were altogether delusive, and were known by Mr.
Clarks to be so as the entries were made with his knowledge
and by his instructions.
" It was therefore for this and other reasons the opinion
of your committee, that, for the character and credit of your
extensive establishment, the services of Mr. Clarke should
be forthwith dispensed with, sad they so informed the di-
mmers.

They were informed la reply that the board would not
think of retaining Mr. Clarke permanently, but that he was
so talented, and from the knowledge he powered, he could
so materially aid, or injure, the company's laminar, that
they wished to retain him for a short time to obtain informa-
tion front him. . .

Your asinine* consider this rum unsatafastory ;
because, =las reliance could be placed upon these talents
being y y applied, the more necessary it became that
he should be i removed from a position of so much
power and ldaoaeehy also oansider that the support
be has moth= hem the :board may be looked upon as an
indirect enseneeponnt from the &Won to every officer in
your establienmit to follow his =ample.
" Your mmuedleaa find that Mr. Clarks has been retained,
not for the sole now of obtainiog information from
him, for be lea bosa left with the complete management
and control of the whole establishment; and almost all
the appellants= of officers for the last three mouths have
bee. made en his recommendation, or nomination, chiefly
of perm= who wars in the employ of the Brighton Railway
alt the time Mr. Clarke was its gamma manager.
" The pelley pursued by the directors on this subject has
hem oath* in opposition to the opinions and wishes of the
esmiiitts% and is inconsistent with the successful and re-
epollabb nothing of your buiness in future.
" In the =am of the investigation the committee found
that one albs Masa Marten had been defrauding the
=dry ethespresesting the amount of wages be was en-

then he pan to the men. This your committee anartained

committee had insuperable objections to such an appoint-
ment.

mention kia anticipated retirement, and hie wish that the
Lord Maya' (Mr. Meek) should succeed him.
• - -"

ei yonrecon4ttee did lot feel it necomary to disturb the
sionni by any mons at the time, not doubting that be-
gen say gigh wfireboanzat was made they would have ample
deer M npagragt and dime it. They believed this, not only
bump they bad been eeginfitad by the board on the only
usgikaumt of a dilutor wh;:h had, till that time, taken
Aim dace your contatittee's appoi:'tment, ,but also Westin
they had been assured by Mr. Cmwshay; only two days Pm-
stonily, :id he would not resign the chat: until their
report was ready.
" They found, however, that about an hour after the ter-
ineties of the last misting of the shareholders, a board
meeting was held of the four only directors then in office,
Mr. Crawshay, Mr. Meek, Mr. Romaine, and Capt. Sonde-
m*, at whisk Mr. Crawsbay resigned his office as chair-
man, and Mr. Meek was at the IMO time appointed his suc-
cessor. After this had bees done, Mr. Thompson and Mr.
Williamson were appointed directors of the company.
A new chairman was thus appointed by this small board
of directors, and the character of the board changed, without
your committee blind consulted or having en opportunity of
expressing any opinion on the subject.
Oa that same day the directors had presented to you a
report la which they sate that ' it has bun their greatest
pleasure to endeavour to forward in every way the objects of
the comindthes, and to assist and consult in all main with
them, and which 00-operation it is traded will be confirmed
by the committee.'
'Th:s statement, year committee deeply regret, they can.
not confirm. One of the first objects of your committee was
to purify your establishment of all improper and inefficient
oaten, and towards effecting that object they have not re-
ceived the amistaace and so-operation of the directors ; an.
other object of equal importance was the formation of such a
board of dire Mien as they could recommend to your con-
fidence, and towards this they have not been consulted.
"Oa learning from the secretary the new appointments
of ehairman and airmen, the committee took them into
consideration, and with reference to the appointment of Mr.
Meek, as chairman, they came to the following resolution,
which they communicated to the board (19th Sept., 1849).
" e That it is of the utmost importance to the interests of
this company that it should continue upon friendly terms
with all the surrounding companies, and it is the opinion of
this committee that this desirable result can enly be insured
by maintaining a perfectly free and independent position;
and to avoid the suspicion of any deviation from this strict
line of neutrality, it is highly essential, if not absolutely in-
dispensable, that the chairman of the directors of this com-
pany should be altogether unconnected with the direction of
any other company.'
To this the directors replied by transmitting the follow-
ing ',Notation of the board to the committee (20th Sept.
1848.)
" That this board fully concur. in the opinion expressed
by the committee of investigation, " That it is of the utmost
importance to the interests of pis company that it should
continue upon friendly terms with all the surrounding com-
panies." lt cannot, however, unite in the opinion of the
committee that these friendly relations will be disturbed or
endangered by the appointment of James Meek, Fol. as
chairman of the York and North Midland Company, Inas-
much as his established character for candour and integrity
entitle him to the fullest confidence of the several companies,
while hie experience and ability eminently qualify him to
preside over and direct the proceedings of the York and
North Midland Company. This board, therefore, is unani-
mously of the judgment that the interests of this company
demand that the resignation tendered by Mr. Meek be not
accepted."
This resolution does not in any degree remove the objec-
tfon of your committee, as their objection is not to the pri-
vate or personal character of Mr. Meek, but to his position
in connexion with other railways, but more particularly the
Great Northern Railway, of which he was one of the on
&al promoter., and towards which his feelings and predi-
lections will be likely to tend in preference to this line, in
which be his had no interest for years, until, on joining
the direction in the present year, be bought sufficient stock
to give him the necessary qualification.
" In these einem:esteem your committee cannot approve
of Mr. Meek being placed in the position of your chairman,
where his whole mind and energies ought to be directed to
the advancement of your interests alone, and where questions
may arise in which his duty to you might draw him in one
direction, while his interests and personal feelings might be
all drawing him in an opposite one.
" In stating this the committee are actuated by no ad-
verse feeling, either to the Great Northern Company or to
Mr. Meek. It is their earnest wish that the mat friendly
relations be maintained with the Great Northern Company,
and for Mr. Meek personally they entertain feelings of
respect and esteem; ma a proof of which they have requested
him to retain his seat at your board.
" The committee of investigation of the York, Newcastle,
and Berwick Company, have issued a report, dated the bth
instant, bearing the signature of Mr. Meek, in which is the
following paragraph.
It appears to the committee, that this company
situated with reference to other lieu, that its real interests
will be best promoted by cultivating friendly relations with
all of them who may be prepared to treat this company in
the same spirit. With these feelings, the conunitne are of
opinion that, as a general principle, it is not desirable that
any of the directors of this company should be directors in
other cempaides..
" This opinion goes even further than that expressed by
yoar own committee, as it applies to directors as well es
chairman.

Considering all the circumstances, and the magnitude of
the interests at stake, the committee are of opinion that they
could not, in the discharge of their duty to you, defer to the
wishes of the board without making this direct appal to you,
and if you coincide in opinion with them, they hope to meet
with your support at the meeting on the 31st instant.
" Your committee have to report their approbation of the
appointment of Kr. Thompson as director, but it is with
regret that they have learned from him that he has only con-
sented to act for a far months, to assist the company over its
present difficulties.
" With regard to Mr. Williamson, your committee do not
know on what grounds he was elected a director, for they
find that he wee not a shareholder of the company at the
time of his election.
" On the 27th of September the directors submitted to
your committee the names of John Bowes, Esq., of Hull, and
George Hicks Seymour, Eaq., of York, whom they proposed
to ask to join the direction of this company.
" Your committee, after taking time for consideration and
;equity, replied in the terms of the following resolution :
That the election of a director residing at Hull seems
to the committee to be desirable, sad from inquiries they
bare made, they consider Mr. John Bowes, of Hull, is a fit
and proper person for a director of this company, if qualified
by the stake he holds in the undertaking.
' That the committer are decidedly of opinion that it is
not advisable to increase, except under some special circum-
stances, the number of directors resident at York, and they
reeseamead the election of some shareholder at Leeds or
el= et er plan where the company's stock is largely held,
er vitae the interests of the company require to be sup-
Thatported. the committee are now making inquiry with
respect to some eligible party, and will be glad to be in-
formed whether the directors will entertain any suggestions
of the committee thereon.'
" Having thus stated as plainly as they can the points at
issue between them and the present directors, the committee
leave the decision with you, by whom it ought to be de-
cided, as it is you alone who mat hereafter feel the benefit,
or the injury, which may be the result of that decision.
" In a matter of such extreme importance to so many
hundreds of families, the committee trust that no shareholder
will look on with indifference, but that every one will re-
cord his vote according as he may believe the committee to
be right or wrong in their views.
" It is with extreme reluctance and regret that your
committee find themselves forced to make this appeal
to the shareholders, but the determination of Mr. Meek
to retain the chair,
and of the directors as a
toddy to support him is that determination, un-
less acted upon by the opinion of the general
body of shareholders, leaves your committee no al-
tonally' but to take the eosins they now do, or
to desert the trust which you have reposed in them at a
time when the exercise of that trust is meet especially needed.
They are compelled to this course solely by a strong sense of
duty : they have but coo motive, which Is that this railway,
which has ban so madly mismanaged heretofore, may be
secured from falling iuto the same state for the future , that
It may, on the contrary, be placed is the hands of parties per-
fectly independent, and competent to conduct It for your
advantage, and to realise from it the highest dividend of
which it is capable. This is the desire of the shareholders,
this elm is the abject of the committee, and their only care;
not one teams your committee seeks anything further, and
they Modals collectively and individually all desire for
w:intim forthemselves or their friends, er any profit
*at whisk may result to all shareholders alike,
ageorilog Me their there interest. The insinuations that they
sew asheseed by ether motives, they altogether repudiate.
" Year semmittee have been welted upon by a deputa-
tion from • private meeting of shareholders held in York, at
whisk wore peesent sheet a doses poem. Their object in
waitlag yea year emeadelee was to request them to with-
draw eppeoidem to Mr. Meek. This request being do-

they will cheerfully make use of it for you in the way tbef
consider most conducive to your interests. In such case,
they request it to be filled up with the name of the chairmen
of the committee, John Swann, of York, E.q.
" The committee find that a circular bas been forwarded to
each shareholder' containing the proceedings of the second
of the above mentioned meetings held at York, and purport-
ing I. represent the shareholders there.
" There are about 3,000 shareholders in the company, of
whom about 130 reside in York and the neighbourhood.
" Your committee have made inquiry about this meeting,
sad find that it was attended by about twenty shareholders,
and that those present were not user imoue.
" Supposing, hoover that all the shareholders resident
at York were unanimonsin the opinion that thepresent Lord
Mayor of York ought to be your chairman, ::°ugh in oppo-
sition to the decision of a committee appointed by the whole
, the shareholders, you committee could not acquiesce in
I such a ,ke!sion without en appeal to you.
" Your como:ittee will conclude by observing that they
ate mat anxious to being their labours to a close ; the
additional externs* Maned by the protraction of their sit-
tinge renders this highly desirable for the shareholders ; and,
as respects your committee, the time which they have de-
voted to the investigation has been already so serious to them
personally, that nothing but a sense of duty could induce
them to continue this sacrifice any longer. Your com-
mittee, however, consider that they would be failing in the
trait reposed in them, if they did not use their belt exec.
tions, in conjunction with the directors, to establish, previous
to their dissolution, a permanent board that should give con-
fidence to the shareholden and conduce to the permanent
welfare of your undertaking.
