FLEETWOOD, PREST 3N, AND WEST RIDING

JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting—o-rtiiiicornpany was held at
PrPston by adjournment on Saturday; Mr. T. B. Addi-
son in the chair.

The directori reported that the sum charged for the
secretary's salary during the last year was sta,ed in the
accounts ac 1001., but would be redir ed to 50/. The
Prr stun and Longridga Company object to the intro-
duction into the accounts, as between the two companies,
of the last motioned stun, and of the 4001. charged on
account of renewal. Being desirous that tOe agrt.vin"rik
between the two companies should be fully and fairly
carried out, the directors would use their endeavours to
arrange this matter amicably. They, however, found
much difficulty in so ac jog upon the agreement as to
bring the concern into a profitable state for either of the
companies, and hal been thairous to make such modifi-
cations as would bring about a more vigorous co-opera-
tion, and offer better prospects to the shareholders.
The capital account to the 31st of December, 1851.
showed that the receipts amounts d to 169,6721, including
balance due to bankers, 11,3301.

The revenue account for the half rae ending the 3181
of December, 1851, showed that 1,9631 had been re-
ceived, and 1,231/ expended, leaving a balance of 7321.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the 400/. charged to the
renewal account would not be of importance to this
company alone, though it was of importance as between
it and the Longridge Company. The directors had been
desirous of carrying out the agreement with the Long
ridge Company, and had to introduce, as opportunities
might occur, those modifications that might be for the
benefit of both parties ; but of course the agreement
being made by two parties, could only be varied by the
consent of both. He concluded by proposing, " That
the report be received, and the accounts paused, subkt
to correction in respect of tie sum charged f ,r• the Se-
cretary's salary, and (as between this company and the
Longridge Company) of the sum charged in respect of
renewal."
Mr. NEWBRRRY seconded the resolution, and it was
adopted unanimously.
The retiring directors and auditors were then re-
elected without opposition.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the pro-
ceedings.

SCO TTISII Mu Jl.l v. I tUN RAILWAY.
The half yoarly meeting of this company was held ou
Monday at Perth, Sir. J. Stirling in the chair.
The report was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in the adoption of the report,
said he had much pleasure in assuring thorn that the)
had fairly earned their first dividend during the past
half-year. He had also to ststa that the capital accourit
was now nearly clo.seci, and he believed it would be
finally closed before the next meeting. They would re-
quire some additional plant to work their line, the pro
sent stock being small, not having cost more than 1,000/.
per mile. The arrears on c.dis amounted to about
18,000/, the greater part of which he believed would be
paid. The nor revenue for the half year would exceed
5 0001, which would admit of a dividend at the rate of
per cent., and leave a balance of between 600/. and
700/ for the next account.
Mr. KERR 8, eunded the motion.

Mr. H. KERR suggested that separate accounts should
be made out, shown g the receipts at the different sta-
tions, so that they might see what each was paying, fie
also suggested that a statement of all their liabilities
should be made up and it;cluded in the revenue account
every half-year. He wished to know something about
the Durtkeld branch.
The CitAIRMAN said they had used every exertion to
get in the accounts fur the Penh general station. He
did not suppose they would have much to pay for it.
They would find in the revenue account that a sum of
2,000/. had been charged to the account of list station,
which would ultirnat ly go to capital. Nothing had beer,
don.. since the last, meeting wish respect to the Dunk, .ht
branch; an action was pending in respect to it which
they hop, d to set aside.

Mr. Nl•GaviN congratulated his brother proprietors
on the improved prospect of the undertaking. They bad
no preference shares, and the dt,henture bonds were
small in proportion to their capital. He thought it a
very gratirying circumstance that their c..,pital account
was likely to be elnsed ai 622.8121.
Resolutions were pas..Td adopting the report, declar-
ing a dividend at the rate of 13,,.r cent. free of in-
come tax. authorising the conversion of shares into stock,
and re•eleettng the retiring dir.,cturs.
The proceedings concluded Kith a vote of thanks to
the chairman.
