IL E. East, Esq , Maida-vale.

Mr. NATHAN seconded the amendment.
Mr. PRICE said the Shareholders' Protection Society
would not consent to have any one upon the direction
who held in the Norfolk Company—nor an engineer in
a way likely to be benefited in his trade from his con-
nexion with the railway in an official capacity. He
therefore proposed the following list:—
George Meek, Esq., Russell•square.
Henry V. East, E,q., Canterbury-villa, Maida-vale.
Hon. Eliot Yorke, Esq., M.P.

John Fryer, Esq., Chateris.
James Packe, Esq., Mildenhall, Suffolk.

Ambrose Moore, Esq., Endsleigh-street,Euston- square.
George Frederick Young, Esq., Limehouse.
Mr. Low seconded this list.

Mr. HELPS doubted whether their present proceed-
ings were legal, and in order that the meeting should
dispose, of the business in hand in a lawful manner, he
proposf'd the following resolution:—" That the four
vacanciesin the board which have occurred in due order
of rotation be forthwith filled up by the shareholders in
manner prescribed by law." The directors had only
power to nominate and fill up four vacancies at a time.
The CHAIRMAN ruled that the resolution could not be
entertained at the present stage of the proceedings.
Mr. LAWLEY proposed that Mr. Hawes should be
elected a director.—(oh, oh.)
Mr. HARRIS had token the opinion of Mr. Lloyd, the
counsel, on the question of the legality of their past and
present proceedings, and that learned gen-
tleman had given an opinion corroborating
the view of Mr. Helps on the subject.
lie thought the proper course to /Dwain was to till up
two vacancies which occurred in the direction in
February last, and then select six names which should
go to the general board to elect in the legal way to the
direction.

After a few words from Mr. CASH,
Mr. HUMPHREY BROWN, M.P., complained of the
course Mr. Crsh had pursued, of keeping back all he
knew of the Size-lane affair till the matter got iwo
a Select Committee of the House of Commons.

He had given notice of the three following resolutions ;
but so much time having already been taken up, it was
not his intention to inflict them on the meeting:—

" 1. That the capital account of this company be closed
up to the Ist day of July next, and that a committee he
appointed (two only bring directors) with power to take
the assistance of a competent accountant, to arrange and
report the same, with the balance-sheet, at your next
general half-yearly meetin, and that in all future state-
ments of accounts submitted to the proprietors, any in-
creme in capital be explained in detail.
" 2. That a valuation of all the working plant be made
by some competent person appoint. d by the same com-
mittee, assisted by the superintendent of each depart-
ment, and that such valuation, together with its original
coat, be reported to the proprietors at the next general
half-yearly meeting.
" 3. That a committee be appointed (two of them
being direct with authority to employ a c,)mpe-
tent statistician, and that such committee do report to
the next half-yearly general meeting the amount of
traffic, in classifications, of the Eastern Counties Rail-
way proper, as well as on each of its subsidiary lines,
stating the amount of tonnage and rate per mile re-
spectively received on each class, and on each line, as
welt as their opinion of the capabilities of tho line for
increasing the traffic."
Mr. ELLis wished to know if all the gentlemen in Mr.
Met k's list were shareholders in this company ?
Mr. HONEY Laid, all but one, and that one was Mr.
Ambrose Moore.---(0h, oh! and Shame.)
Mr. ELLIS—When did Mr. Eliot Yorke become a share-
holder ?

Mr. RONEY—Ycsterc?ay.—(oh, oh!)
Mr. ELLls—When did Mr. G. F. Young become a
shareholder ?

Mr. RONEY—The day before yesterday.—(oh, oh!)
Mr. ELus—When did Mr. Naughten become a share-
holder?

Mr. RoNEl—Yesterday.—(Oh, oh!)
Mr. MEEK thou rose to address the meeting, but it
would not hear him.

Mr. Serg2aLt GAZELEE called upon the meeting after
these. disclosures nut to have Mr. Meek's list thrust down
their throats.

After some further discussion, carried on amidst much
noise and confusion,
Mr. HARRIS proposed that Mr. James Pack° and Mr.
Humphrey Brow n, ba elected directors in the room
of the directors who retired in February last.
No one seconded this resolution, and it fell to the
ground.
The amendments were then put to the vote, and de-
clared to be lost by large majorities.
The original resolution was next put, and pronounced
from the chair to be also lost.

A poll was demanded and deferred.
Some further discussion took place of a noisy cha-
racter, after which thanks were voted to the chairman,
and the meeting broke up at a late hour.
