MISTLEY, THORPE, AND WALTON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Manningtree on Monday, Mr. R. Brooks in the

chair.

The report stated that arrangements had been
made with the Tenth-log Hundred Company by
which the construction of any unnecessary mileage
would be avoided. A further advantage of this was
that it would not be necessary to raise more than
two-thirds of the capital sanctioned by the company's
Act of Parliament. The Great Eastern had agreed
to find one-third of the required capital, and to work
the lino when completed at 48 per cent. of the traffic
receipts. No opposition was anticipated from the
landowners through whose property the line would
pass. The report of the engineer (Mr. J. S. Cooke)
stated that the necessary surveys had been made.
Tho first section between the junction with the Great
Eastern at Mistley and Tendring and 51 miles now
under construction would be executed at a cost pro-
portionate to the total expense for the whole line.
The works on the first section of 51 miles might be
completed by June, 1864. The surveys for an ex-
tension from Tendring to Thorpe were in a forward
state, and would be ready by the required time.
After some discussion the report was adopted.
Messrs. R. Brooks, R. Free, W. H. Alexander, and
P. Daniels were re-elected directors; Mr. C. Taylor
and Mr, W. Shawsfield were appointed auditors,
and the proceedings terminated.

HEACHAM AND WELLS.
A public meeting was called recently at Lynn by
the Mayor to consider a proposed line of railway
from the Heacham station of the Lynn and
Hunstanton Railway to the town of Wells. The
Mayor explained that this was an extension of the
Heacham and Burnham Railway, which it was
thought should go on at once to Wells. Mr. a
Edwards, solicitor to the company, stated that the
extended line had the support of Lord Leicester,
whose park at Holkham it would skirt, and who
had offered to sell his land at agricultural price,
and to take up the amount in shares. Five miles
of the railway would pass through Lord Leicester's
estate. The Great Eastern Company had offered to
find one-third of the capital for the Heacham
Burnham line, but would raise their contrhseiteir
to one-half if the line went on to Mt ells. gr- v
would
tine, C.E., stated that the length of the
to
18be 1 or 19 miles, and the estimated oura
com-
plete it would be £lOO,OOO, including borrowing
powers ; that would be a little over £5,000 per
mile. There was a population of

trict, The saving of distance would be

route via Wymondham. compared Peterborough
from 35 to 40 miles, comp%
it °lotions were passed
in favour of the proposed line, and shares were
immediately subscribed for.
