was not in a situation to say that the gentle-
man pointed to in the report of the com-
mittee ought or ought not to be appointed,
but when he was told that two of the most
honourable and efficient directors that had been upon
the board of management of this company had
declared their intention not to retain their seats in the
event of this gentleman being appointed, while
another who was then present, and who paid
the company 50,000/. a year in the shape
of dues, had pronounced an opinion that his
appointment would result in the ruin of the under-
taking, he did think that the clehgates whom the
meeting selected should be unbiassed upon that ques-
tion. He felt this the more, because the very paper
that had first unmasked the duplicity of Mr. Hud-
son's management had recently indulged in a most
scurrilous attack upon this gentleman, and the meeting
ought to be careful that it did not elect a delegate
who had been canvassing in favour of his appointment.
A PROPRIETOR would be glad to know to whom
the Honourable Baronet alluded.
Sir JOHN EASTHOPE had no hesitation in stating
that it was to Mr. Love.

Mr. Alderman SIDNEY would follow the example of
the Honourable Baronet, and at once state that he
had not the slightest interest whatever in any indivi-
dual who might hereafter be proposed as the manager
of this railway, nor did he hold any stake in any other
concern that was likely to bias his judgment in
dealing with the affairs of this line.
Mr. PRANCE made a similar avowal, adding, how-
ever, that he saw no objection to the principle of
appointing a managing director, since it had been
successfully adopted in the Brighton, the South-
Eastern, the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and other
lines ; but he was at a loss to understand what this
could have to do with the election of dele-
gates, inasmuch as their duty would be only
to select directors. The task of deciding whether
there should be one or three managing directors, and
who they should be, would rest entirely with the new
board.

The CHAIRMAN took some discredit to himself for
not Laving stopped this discussion before. It was
hardly fair to allude to a gentleman who was not
present, or make use of an anonymous communica-
tion in a local paper against any one.
Sir JOHN EASTHOPE said, so far from its being
anonymous, the communication he referred to ap-
peared in the form of a leader, evidently with the
avowed sanction of the editor, and unless Mr. Love
took some notice of it in the shape of a prosecution
for libel his character would remain unvindicated.

The names were then put to the vote, and Sir John
Easthope and Mr. Aldermun Sidney were declared
duly elected, and supplied with written authorities to
act as the delegates of the meeting.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the
proceedings terminated.
