To make and maintain a Railway with all necessary
works, stations, approaches, and conveniences connected
therewith, to commence by a junction with the Swansea

chains north of the Red Jacket Copper Works, and to pass
through or into the parishes and places of Llansamlet,
Cadoiton-juxta-Neath, Neath, Coedfrank, Llantwit,

ways, drains, sewers, navigations, rivers, streams, and
watercourses, and to vary and extinguish existing rights
and privileges, so far as may be necessary, in constructing

shares in the capital of the Company, and to guarantee the
payment of interest or dividend upon the said capital, or
any part thereof.

nies heroinbefore mentioned, or any of them, from time to
time, to make and carry into effect contracts for and in

nominated by the contracting Companies, or by two or
more of them, for carrying into effect any such contracts
