the laboun of the committee, and he had no doubt that the
company would become more prosperous than it had been
at the outset.

Several shareholder expressed themselves to the same
effect.

Captain Moonsom called attention to a paragraph in the
report, which wee as followe:—"We have accord-

iagty communicated with their board (the South
Western Railway Board), through one of its moat inflows-
tial members, and we have much pleasure in informing the
shareholders that the majority of that board aro not only
favourable to our project, and see in it the prospects of
large advantages to their company, but are ready and will-
ing to enter into terms with us immediately that we have a
board of directors, in whom they can have confidence, and
with whom, in fact, they can treat. We are assured that
the only obstacle to an arrangement having been long
since effected with them was the inefficiency of our own
board, and the impracticable and undecided character of
their proposals and communications." He said that so
soon as the Necropolis Company was in a position to carry
forward their plans, the South Western would be able to
make such arrangements with reference to trains, as to snit
the views and convenience of the company.
Mr. Ru was very glad to hear Captain Moor-

A vote of thaaks was then passed to Mr. Taylor for
