form a committee to confer with the landowners with a
view to settle the terms to their satisfaction.
After a short consultation with the other directors,
Mr. Chaplin repeated this suggestion, adding that half-
a-dezen shareholders might be appointed to assist the
board in conferring with the landowners.
Mr. HERAPATH objected to anything that might com-
mit the company to the plan at all.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE said that he held a
great
many proxies from Manchester, and the gentlemen
whom he represented were not unfavourable to the pro-
ject itself; their principal objection being to the terms.
Captain Moortsom proposed that there be added to the
propriet osition, that the committee should consider the pro-
py of obtaining a line between Dorchester and Aa-
minster.
The CHAIRMAN—Yon have no scheme that will hold
water, and if you had, you have no money to carry it
out.—(Laughter.) I wish to speak in the kindest way;
but this meeting was perfectly humbugged last year.—
(Great laughter.) A committee was obtained, but it
only led to delay.
Captain MOORSOffi protested
however, that the chair-
calledainst his scheme being
a humbug. He was glad,
man had at last sooken out. Had he done so a long time
ago, instead of appearing personally to favour it, a vast
deal of trouble might have been savede to me, but you

The CHAIRMAN—You certainly cam
wanted 3,0001 before ou could even serve the notices.
Mr. Locxn said the landowners had no particular de-
sire to raise any part of the money. 11 the company
wished it, they might raise the whole sum.
After some further discussion resolution was moved
and carried almost unanimously to the following effect:
—" That this meeting is of opinion that it is yeti? im-
portant to the security ot the interests and property of
this railway that the originally designed extension of
the line from Salisbury to Exeter should be carried out
without delay, provided that reasonable terms can be
arrived at with the landowners who have offered to co-
operate with this company for the purpose in question;
and that it is accordingly resolved that it go back to a
committee consisting of the board and the following
gentlemen. to report in the month of Septeraber_.:-;
namely, Mr. Craigie, Heaven, Mr. Simpson, Da •
Helps, Mr. Malins, Mr. Ashmore, and Mr. Tito.

A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman, and
the meeting, which had lasted upwards of six hours,
broke up.
A meeting of the proprietors of the New South-
Western Steam Navigation Company was then held, but
the business was merely formal, and lasted only for a
few minutes.
