KENSINGTON STATION AND NORTH AND SOUTH
LONDON JUNCTION RAILWAL—A special general meeting of
the shareholders in this company was held yesterday a t the
office of the company in Robert-street, Adelphi, Mr. Grace
in the chair, for the purpose of considering a bill now before
when:tent, entitled "A bill authorising the extension of
the line of the Kensington Station and North and South
London Junction Railway Company, and for other purposes."
Mr. Carmen, solicitor, having read the clauses of the hill,
Mr. Bird said it was necessary he should explain that the
clause reserving the rights of Lord Kensington referred to
the abandonment by the company of their compulsory
powers. Lord Kensington, willing to aid the company, had
offered them better terms than they could obtain by exer-
cising their compulsory powers, and any land required by
the company would be taken from Lord Kensington by
mutual agreement. The bill also kept is abeyan3e for the
present the proposed extension of the line, and it was only
now contemplated to enlarge the station, and nicks an ap-
proach to it from the Cromwell-road. This would be a
great improvement to their property. The Chairman then
moved, and Mr. Simons seoonded, a resolution approving of
the bill as read, which was agreed to, and the proceedings
terminated.
