MISTLEY, THORPE, AND 'WALTON.

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

The report stated that arrangements had been
made with the Tendring 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 line when completed at 48 per cent. of tho traffic
ieceipts. 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.

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. H.
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 K.'
find one-third of the capital for the Heacham and
Burnham line, but would raise their contribution
to one-half if the line went on to Wells. Mr. valen-
tine, C.E., stated that the length of the linetowe=
be 18-1 or 19 miles, and the estimated
plete it would be £lOO,OOO,
