Me. LAI NG , M.P., AND THE LONDON AND
BRIGHTON ildt.w.tr.—The following bee been addressed
by Mr. Laing, M.P., to Lord Westbury, the chairman of
the Brighton Committee :—" ti, Kensington-gardens-ter-
race, June 17.—llear Lord Westbury.- My attention has
been called to • paragraph in the report of the committee
of Brighton shareholders, of which you are chairman,
which states that ' a new board should be immediately
constituted, and that Sir C. Jackson, S. Laing, Esq., M.P.,
and others, should be requested to accept the office of
directors of the company.' If this merely means what
is literally expressed, viz., that the committee advise
the shareholders to invite me, as their old chairman,
to resume my connexion with the company, I can only
say that I am grateful for the compliment. But if it
be intended to propose any list of names, including
mine, for election, or to present it to the meeting as a
definite arrangement, I must remind you that I have
never even been consulted on the subject, and am
certainly not prepared to submit my name as a can-
didate. I have been most happy from my former
connexion with the company, to give any assietence
in my power in settling differences, arranging fair
terms of amalgamation with the South Eastern, and
aiding the committee to arrive at a just appreciation
of the financial position and prospects of the company ; but
to undertake the very arduous labour and responsibility
of a permanent chairmanship of the company is a very
different question, which, if presented in a serious and
definite form, would require the gravest consideration, and
as to which it is sufficient for the present to say that I
,have never been consulted. I think it only fair to the
shareholders that there should be no misunderstanding on
this point, and as the paragraph in question might lead
them to infer that I had consented to become a director,
I propose, if your lordship sees no objection, to publish
this explanation.—l remain, dear Lord Westbury, yours
very faithfully, S. LLIN(I.—TIv) Right lion. the Lard
Westbury."
