LAMBETH.
arriet Gulling, •" ticket-of-leave woman," who had
been apprehended by order of the Secretary of State for the
Home Department on a charge of violating her license, by
artionting with notorious thieves, was brought before Er.
Elliott, for final examination.
From the evidence it appeared that in the month of
April, 18152, the prisoner had been convicted on a charge of
friy, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. In
April last she received a ticket-of-leave, having at the
time twelve months to serve, end on her release she
went to live with a notorious thief in Pie-tree West-
minster. Since then she has been twice apprehended
—ewe on a charge of stealing a purse from a lady, and
bad a narrow escape of being committed for trial ;
and a second time for being in Croydon Fair Find,
in company with Gilling, when she was charged with being
there for the purpose of committing felony. The account
she then gave of herself was that she had accompanied her
husband (Gelling) to the fair for the purpose of pleasure,
and not with any dishonest intention, and the magistrate
before whom she had been taken, not thinking there was
sufficient to detain her, ordered her discharge. The fact of
her having been twice apprehended, and the whole of the
mreumatencee having been communicated to the eommis-
sinters of police and reported by them to Sir George Grey,
en order was given to have her apprehended.
dentitione of marriage between the prisoner and Gating
in February, 1862, was put in, and evidence of the fact of
the marriage having bees given,
; Mr. Elliott discharged the prisoner with a caution as to
her future conduit.

GREAT RASTERFf RAILWAY.

The committee of investigation into the affairs
of this company have made • preliminary report, which
was published yesterday. The committee were appointed
by the shareholders on the 29th August lest, sad consisted
of Mews. Turner, Smith, 13allentinet, Bemis, and Rowley,
but Mr. Rowley, in consequence of other engagements,
declined to act. They commenced their dation on the 4th
September end have continued their labours from that
date down, to the present period, devoting three, and, in
mast instances, four days • week to the purpose. The first
matter brought under their consideration was se to the
period from which their inquiry should date, and after
having given the matter their best attic:Roe, they deter-
mined to commence their inquiries front the period of the
amalgamation. It was not their intention to have presented
any report until. they had acescluded their labours and were
in • position to furnish them with one in detail, but finding
that delay might be prejudicial, and would probably em-
barrass the credit of the company, they determined to mks
a preliminary report, confining themselves for the present to
the financial condition el the undertaking as affecting Ilse
" borrowing poems," adding thereto only, their opinion
it being
upon the proposed Was of the Blackwell Railways
necessary, in accordant* with parlamentet,' requiremeta,
that the sanction of the shareholders should be asked, and
obtained, upon the latter subject at en early date. Upon
the financial condition of the company the committee report
that, for the purpose of ascertaining accurately how fee
the directors had oomplied with the conditions and restric-
tions of the several acts of parliament, upon conformity
to which the " borrowinig powers" of the company are
dependent, they toned tt necessary to avail them-
selves of the assistance of Messrs. Coleman, Ter-
quand, Youngs, and Co., accountants, who report
that the "borrowing powers" (subject to the
sanction of the shareholders) have been largely exceeded
during the pest three years, in fact to such an extent that
the committee cannot °Deceive any condition of Maim.
stances which could justify, or muter even temporarily
necessary, DO grave • departure from all com-
mercial principles. Upon the facts in their pos-
session, the committee have submitted • case for
the opinion of Mr. Lloyd, and having themselves
given the various questions their most serious consideration,
and having also received a positive pledge from the board
that the foods now required shell be prudently expended in
the advancement of the undertaking, ere now prepared to
recommend that the shareholders should sanction the bor-
rowing of the several sums of money mentioned is the di-
rectors' advertisement, upon the distinct understanding
that, for the future, no such irregular borrowing shell,
under any circumstance., take place; but that when the
parliamentary powers ere required to be exercised, the pre-
' viola eanctiou of the shareholders shell be asked and ob-
tained. Upon the subject of the proposed Blackwell lease
the committee report that, after giving that question their
best attention, sod considering the terms upon which it is
proposed to carry the same into effect ; end having re-
' eeived evidence thereon, considering also the absolute
necessity of increased terminal accommodation required
by the company, they deem it expedient that the share-
' holders should adopt it, remarking at the same time that,
in their opinion, a large sum of money might have been
saved to the Greet Eastern Company had the directors
exercised more vigilance in ascertaining the condition of
the line, which they were about to lease, before proposing
to bind the shareholders to the adoption of such haat, it
being now ascertained that the line will require conside-
rable outlay to place it in proper working condition. The
committee are informed that the board of directors, acting
upon their recommendation, have taken the necessary steps
for appointing an engineer and a locomotive superintendent
(end they trust that the directors will also carry into effect
their further suggestion es to the appointment of • general
maneger), a course which the committee consider ought to
have been long since ado,tol, and wich, when carried into
practical effect, will, they believe, prove very advantageous
to the general interests and benefit of the company.
The committee regret that in the exercise of their duty
they are compelled to express their conviction that the
small dividend proposed to be paid to the shareholders at
the last general meeting had not been earned, and, there-
fore, in their opinion, ought not to have been even sug-
gested by the board of directors. The committee are still
receiving valuable evidence with reference to the general
management of the affairs of the company, the result of
which they propose to lay before the shareholders at a
future period, together with any suggestions they may
think desirable for their consideration and benefit ; and
- they hope that under an improved management the pro-
- party will, eventually, assume a more satisfactory condition.
