LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN

BA.ILWAY-04111§ DAY.)

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held this
afternoon at the company's dices, Waterloo-road Sta-
tion ; Mr. CHAPLAIN, M.P., in the chair.
The report and statement of accounts, which has
already appeared in 176 c Sum, were taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN said the state of the traffic of
the line for the half•year was such as was characteristic
of progress, and the expenditure had been conducted
with a due regard to economy. On the whole the direr-
ton flattered themselves the meeting would deem the
report satisfactory, and that it would bear a favouable
comparison with all the railway reports that would be
issued this season in this country. He moved the recep-
tion and adoption of the report and statement of
accounts.

Mr. SNOW seconded the motion.

Mr. WOOD complained that the directors had not
published a balance•sheet, as they were bound to do, by
the terms of the act of Parliament.

Mr. HOYES (auditor) said he and his brother auditor
had gone carefully through the accounts, and that the
statement submitted to the shareholders contained a
balance-sheet.

Mr. WOOD having made some general remarks to
show that the information he required was not given by
the statement of accounts furnished,
The CHAIRMAN said the hon. proprietor was in error
as to the balance-sheet. The directors had furnished
everything require d. If the hon. proprietor would call
at the offices every information he required would be
given him on the points to which he had alluded. The
company had embarked 62,722/. in the Exeter and
Crediton Railway, and 117,5051. in the North Devon
Railway. The latter had not been long worked,
but he had no doubt they would by and bye have a
good dividend for the outlay. The Exeter and Crediton
was in an early stage of its arrangements with the North
Devon Railway Company, who worked over the former.
The returns of the Exeter and Crediton Railway for last
week were 22/. per mile, which was a large sum for that
part of the country ; and he had no doubt that ulti-
mately they would have a satisfactory dividend.

Mr. MILLS called the attention of the meeting to the
necessity of the directors being requested to give the
shareholders at least 14 days' notice of the day of meet-
ing, for deciding on which of the two lines to Exeter,
the Coast or Central, should be constructed, and he
wished to add it as a rider to the report.
The CHAIRMAN said the Eubject had been referred to
a committee of seven gentlemen, and assured the meet-
ing nothing should be done without th• knowledge and
consent of the shareholders, and that they should have
14 days' notice of the meeting.

Mr. DICKENSON thought the meeting for considering
so important a subject ought not to be called now so
many persons were out of town, but after the long vaca-
tion. He considered they should have 21 days' notice
of the holding of the meeting.

Mr. HUTCHINGS appealed to Mr. Mills not to press
his suggestion, because he thought it would be a pity
to alter the report, especially as the chairman had pro-
mised the meeting no undue advantage should be taken
of the shareholders.

Mr. MILLS said, under the circumstances, he would
not press it, and it was accordingly withdrawn.
Mr. HEREPATII was much pleased to find that although
they ran over 1,000 miles more than formerly the work-
ing expenses were actually less. (Hear.) He did not
like what he saw in the accounts—a suspense account
—which was sure to fall ultimately into the wrong ac-
count. (Hear.) He saw two sums of 11,0001. and 7,0001.
stated there he should like to see put to revenue ac-
count.

The CHAIRMAN said the money had been expended
similar to the 42,0001. which was voted at a previous
meeting to capital, but the directors did not feel justi-
fied in placing the sum moved to capital, without a
direct vote of the shareholders.

Mr. HEREPATH said if the money had been spent to
make the line perfect, and should have been taken from
capital, he would be satisfied if it were put to capital.
The CHAIRMAN said this line had always been under-
stocked with plant in comparison with other railways.

Mr. HEREPATH said he was one of the party who
went on a trial trip on this line when coal was used in-
stead of coke, and that the experiment was satisfactory.
In reply to a question from Mr. Hadley,

Tho CHAIRMAN said that the North and South Junc-
tion was the only guarantee this company had. At pre-
sent that company had not declared a dividend, but hehad
received a letter from the secretary stating the earnings
for the half-year had been 1,7501., being 6001. over this
company's guarantee.

Mr. ITZIELLI said that Mr. Hadley was mistaken as
to the appreciation of the extension by the public.
Since it had been decided they were to carry out the
Western Extension,their stock had risen 4 and 5 per cent.
The 366,500/. mentioned by the above gentleman was
only borrowed for a temporary purpose at 3 ?er cent.,
rhea other companies were borrowing money at 4 and
5 per cent. That sum had been paid off, and since then
borrowed again at 4 per cent. for three years.
Mr. WOODS said as there bad been a large failure lately
in the banking world, he suggested the propriety of the
directors transferring their account from their present
bankers to the Bank of England, and invest the balance
in Exchequer bills.

Mr. UZIELLI said that their present bankers paid
them 424 per cent. fcr the balance they held in hand,
and he thought it would be unwise in them to move
from their present bankers, whom the directors con-
sidered safe. The Board never had borrowed
any money, but should they require it, they might
have a temporary advance without any diffi-
culty, which would not be the case if they went
to fresh bankers. The balance now was but 150,0002.,
which would be drawn in a few days, with which to pay
the dividend. If they banked at the Bank of England
they would get no interest, and speculating in Exchequer
bills was not always profitable. He thought the com-
pany's banking at the Bank of England would be a loss
of 4,0001. per annum to them.
The subject then dropped, and the Chairman put the
motion for the reception of the report, which was car-
ried unanimously.
Power was given the directors to pay 500/.—the
lawyer charges before the committee of the House of
Lords—on behalf of the dissentient shareholders.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, who, in return.
ing thanks, highly complimented the exertions of Mr.
Scott, the trafic manager.
The meeting then separated. :`,.V
