Mr. Lewis savored the magistrate that this was no ques-

Mr. Henry did not intend to impute anything of the sort
to Mr. Atteuborough. But it was not in the &cies of •

Yr. Henry desired the inspector to call on Mr. Atten-
borough for an esplanatioo.
Shortly afterwards Mr. West again entered the court,
and said he bad seen Mr. Atteuborough, who said that he
had refused to prosecute, became he thought his neighbours
bad not acted well to him, in omitting to inform him of the
repeated robberies they had suffered. But, of course, if
the magistrate issued a summons against him, he or his

dented the inspector to inform the prosecutor in the other

prisoner could be no longer detained on that charge.
In the interim the mimeer remained in custody of the

JtAILWAY-(rats DAY).

The third half-yearly meeting of the company
was held at the company's offices, Gresham-house, for the
purpose of submitting • resolution for converting the shares
of tbe company into dock. The meeting was also made
extraordinary for the purpose of authorising the
director, to borrow on debentures of the company the
further gum of 10,00 W., at a rate of interest not exceeding
6 per cent. per annum, convertible into shares at the option
of the holders of such debentures, and also authorising the
issue of such a number of additional shares as might be
seceesary to provide the means of converting such deben-
tures, and for the increase of the capital of the company to
that extent. Mr. BODRADADA lo the chair.
The following is the climates' report :
" In the last report it was anticipated that the first sec-
tion of the line, from Calcutta to Sonapore, would have
been opened in July last, and that the remainder would
be finished by the sad c/ this year. The extra-
ordinarily early sad heavy rains in India bad
somewhat iatorfored with operations on the line,
and would acemion • few months' delay. The directors,
however, were given to understand that an eosins would
before this date haml run over the rails, not only to Sone-
pore, but further on to the Prelim River. They were also
informed that the completion of the whole line to the
Mullah port might be looked for io the ensuing
sprin. The same cause which had occasioned this delay
has also had It. effect in adding to the expenses of the line.
It would be seen that the additional sum now re-
quired was estiinated at about 31,0301., but taking into
onaideratim possible ointin:;eneies and • demand for more
rolling stock, which scorner or later most be supplied, the
director, have thought it right to apply at once
to Sir Charles Wood to goormitse the full sons of
50,001., to be Mood is debeatures, sad convertible into
the capital Ghana or stock of the ecienesay. Of mum, no
more of this sum than shall prime to be absolutely Deese-
eery would be raised. With roman to the main subject,

meat of receipts and molests to 30th September in

the report. Belida the ordinary lineisses, two rmointioas
will be submitted to the meeting, ems for converting the

beam that the whole of that amount would be neosesery.
Sir Charlie Wood limited his sanction to 40,00 W., sad of

Mr. LANOWDGD, the engineer, explained that the causes
of the Increased expenditure arose from the rains sweeping
away the embankment before the slopes were dressed. The
bridge at Halt bad a span of 170 feet, but the difficulty
had to contend with was in pities a (mo-
ney had to sink Ri or 60 feet, and to put
dorm mrsiddal rock in order to get a foundation.
The prise ef hiboar bad also risen from 50 to 70 per cent.

they were mans against which DO human prudence
could provide.
The report wee adopted, and resolutions in conformity
with the entice convening the meeting were agreed to.
