RAlLWAY.—Yesterday a numerous meeting was held be-
, fore his Honour the Master in Chancery Blunt, to proceed
with the list of contributories brought in by Mr. Goodchap,
the official manager, for whom Mr. Daniel and Mr. H.
Harris appeared as counsel. The first division of the list
taken contained the names of 30 of the provisional com-
mittee, for whom Mr. Roxburgh, Mr. Glasse, Mr. Little,
Mr. C. L. Webb, Mr. Gregory, Mr. Tabbetts, and others
appeared as counsel, to oppose their being placed on the
list as liable in respect of the outstanding expenses, on the
alleged ground that they had attended meetings for the
constitution and conduct of the company, that they hod
acted in its affairs, and that some of them had made pay-
ments. Mr. W. B. Harrison, accountant, and formerly se-
cretary to the company, who was examined generally, de-
posed, from entries of his own in the minute book, tc!the

eireuMstatice of the members of the provisional committee
havittr attended a variety of meetings, at which resolutions
were passed, but he could not individualise these atten-
dances. The bankers were the National Provincial Bank,
and cheques were signed by the finance committee. Witness
deposited the plans and sections for which surveys were made.
There were applications for 69,000 shares, but only 16,000
were allotted among about 600 shareholders. The six Of
eight allotment books had been lost, either from his own
office or that of the solicitor's; and the search that had been
made for them, in spite of his own exertions and those of
the Manchester police, had hitherto been unsuccessful.—
Mr. Bradley, the solicitor of the company, of Manchester,
was next called to be examined, but declined, under the
advice of his solicitors, Messrs. Sharp, Field, and Jackson,
I to be sworn or to give evidence unless paid his expenses as
a witness, or unless he received an undertaking that they
should be paid by the official manager, there being at pre-
sent no assets under the estate, under which he had a claiM
for 2,oool.—The Master having decided that be could not
compel Mr. Bradley to give evidence without being paid
his expenses as in other ordinary eases, and there being no
fund out of which to do it, the witness withdrew; and Nr-
ther proceedings were adjourned to Monday next.
HEILITORD AND BIZILTRYR RAILWAY.—The list of con-
tributories in this company has been lodged with his Honour
Muter Richards, by Messrs. Valiance, solicitors to Mr.
Wrygiste, the official manager.

hese made to pay a liabilities, payable on the 23th inst.
