LOADON, BRIGHTON ,AND SOUTH COAST
RAILWAY.

Yesterday, after our report left,
Mr. BANIIDA rose to move that se the report involved
midterm of vital importanee to the shareholders and con-
tained neconnts and remits uirizer close examination,
it be psstpeeed to anadloarned meeting to be held that
day month ; that a milt ise be appointed to recommend
proper pennies as directors • and that it be an instruction
to the committee to recommend lio one who had any in-
terest in the South Eastern Railway.
Mr. FILDIR said be seconded the amendment bemuse
he cionsidensd that the agreement would prove a most
disastrowc one. /be chairman, in his circular, advanced
reasons in its favour—that their working exposer
were more than the South Eastern • that the receipts of
the South Festers were more, and the fares of this line
were less than that of the South Eastern. He be
however, that if they did away with their workshops, and
did their work by contrast, they could work their line
for 49 per cent. He was sot prepared to deny
that the present receipts of the South Eastern were
larger than theirs, but would any cue of common sense
put the future of the South Eastern in the same light as
the future of this company? They would in fact by this
amalgamation be giving the South Eastern 55 per cent. of
their money without receiving a farthing in return. (Cries
of "Time, time.") The chairman reminded him of the
advocate who stated the ewe for the defendant Instead of
the plaintiff. (Time, time.) The bon. gentleman had hem
really stating the came for the South Eastern, and be i
at the eleventh hour he would come and prove that not
South Eastern, but the Brighton, was entitled to the
55 per cent., and no one would more cordially agree with
him than he would.
Mr. hi'lLmezrit approved of the adoption of the report.
He was, with one exception. the largest preference share-
holder of the company, and he was naturally desirous to
bring about a remit which would bring him a dividend. It
was the best for their interest to accept the amalgamation.
(Cheers.) He never held a share or debenture in the
South Eastern, and bad nothing to de with them; he,
therefore, spoke only in the Brighton interest. Mr.
Same& roposed a committee, which would delay. No
doubt nothing could be better to promote litigation ; but
what they wanted was a little common sense.
After • long dissuasion
The CHAIRMAN, in dissuasion,
expressed his regret that
the amendment instead of being brought forward as a
direct negative to the report bad been submitted, possibly
for the purpose of cateffing some stray votes in the shape
of a motion for delay. (" Oh, oh," and "Hear, bear.")
The knot of the whole question lay in the working
expenses, and upon that point the argument which he used
at the outset, so far from having been answered, had not
even been touched. The question of working expenses
was not one of per centime upon gross receipts,
but of trek mileage, or, in other words, of the work that
was to be done to earn a certain income. Was there any a
one in that room or in the railway world who could give • 'fc
single reason why they should be able to work the Brighton el
line at a lower price per train mile than they did in 1
1855, or than the South Eastern now did? But 1
when it was said that this line ought to be worked d
at 50 per cent., it was equivalent to saying that
they ought to be able to send an engine with • train • al
mile for 25 per cent. less than they did in 1855. Say that 81
they were working at the same rate of expense now that
they were in 1855, that would give 64 per cent. upon this 84,
amount of their gross earnings now and the question of 4
amalgamation with the South Eastern did turn upon that
fact, and if they went to arbitration upon the matter they 61
would have to start from the basis of 36 per cent. for the it
Brighton, and 64 for the South Eastern ; and though, no 14
doubt, a reduction might be made in the South Eastern La
proportion by showing that they made certain charges to rc
capital which this company made to revenue, it would g
not be sufficient to bring the Brighton shares up to 47,
which they got under the present agreement, and no one
acquainted with railway matters who went into the facts 1
and figures, could come to any other conclusion than that 82,
it was a moat admirable arrangement for the Brighton
Company. 11
The question was then put, and though a considerable s
number of hands were. raised in favour of the amendment, 1
the resolution for the adoption of the report was carried 81
by a decided majority. 8
81
1
Mr. R. L. Lopes, Mr. T. F. Fremantle, and Mr. Otway
were unanimously re-elected as director, and Mr. Cash I
was re-elected as auditor. It
A committee of shareholders was appointed to nominate it
the persons to be thereafter proposed for election as andi- 81
tors of the company, with power to employ professional 811
accountants, and to recommend the terms of their re- g
muneration ; and • resolution was passed for the purpose 61
of oon meting into 5 per cent. stock such of the remaining a
5/. preferential 5 per cent. shares. 1865 and 1866 reaper.-
Ili
Seely, in respect of which the whole amount of 51. per
share had been fully paid up. a+
The meeting having then been made special, a resolu-
tion was passed limiting the number of directors to eight.
Resolutions were also passed for the following purposes,
after some opposition on the part of Mr. J. Samna% _
" Ist. To !aim by the creation of new ordinary shares or
stock, and as part of the capital of the company—(a). So
much (viz., 15,0000 as the company had not already
created of the 60,500/. anthoriaed to be raised by The
Brighton (Powers) Act, 1863; or otherwise, in respect of
the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway ; (b) 20,0001., part
of 120,000/. authorised to be raised by ' The Brighton
(Powers) Act, 1864,' or otherwise, in respect of the Hor-

1864,' or otherwise, in respect of the Bognor Railway ; (d)

or otherwise, in respect of the Epsom Railway ; (e) 100,000/.

South Coast Railway (St. Leonardo Deviations) Act. 1866.'
2ndly. To authorise the board to issue the whole or any
part of the abovementioned new ordinary shares or stack so ,
to be created as aforesaid, amounting together to 195,0001.,
and also to issue as new ordinary shares or stock the whole
or any part of the remainder (40,0001.) of the shares or
stock created under the powers of ' The London, Brighton,
and South Coast Railway (Capital and Powers) Act, 1866,
but not actually issued. 3rdly. To authorise the board
to dispose of the whole or any part of the several ohm e-
n:motioned new shares or stock (amounting together to
Zl5,0001.), at such rate or rates, and upon such terms and
conditions, and to such persons, and in such wanner, as the
directors rosy from time to time determine and tbink ad-
vantageous to the company. And confirming (subject to
such modifications, if any, as may from time to time be
determined upon by the directors) the memorandum of
agreement signed by the chairmen of the South Eastern,
the London, Brighton, and South Coast, and the Lon-
don, Chatham, and Dover Railway Companies, dated the
?2nd November, 1867.
The proosedinp, which had occupied upwards of four
hour, were then brought to a close with the usual com-
pliment to the chairman.
