AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the Inhabitants
of the Town and Borough of New Shoreham, duly con-
vened by the High Constable, and held at the Star Inn, the 4th
d 4 of January, 1836, " For the purpose of taking into considera-
tion the advantages likely to result to Shoreham from a railroad
communication with the Metropolis and Brighton ; and to adopt
such measures thereon, as to the meeting might appear expedient,"
Mr. GEORGE IRVINE in the Chair,
the following resolutions were passed unanimously :
Resolved—That a railway communication from London to Shore-
ham, with a continuation to Brighton, is calculated to prove of the
greatest advantage to the town and port of Shoreham.
Resolved—That the port of Shoreham offers great facility for a
communication from London to the Continent, and is also well
Stdaped for carrying on important branches of foreign trade, and
for the shipping of agricultural produce. it is desirable, therefore,
that the Railway should be direct from London to Shoreham.
Resolved—That the line proposed by Mr. Stephenson offers
?teat advantages, and on many accounts is preferable to the other
lines, and as the measure has received the sanction of a large por-
tion of landowners, and is undertaken by a powerful body of Pro-
prietors, who have subscribed the whole capital required for the
completion of the Railway, this Meeting do pledge themselves to
InPport the measure, and to use their interest to promote the un-
dertaking.
Resolved—That this Meeting, being convinced of the very great
advantage of the proposed Railroad to the Borough of Shoreham,
do request the Members to give it their most strenuous support.
GEORGE IRVINE, Chairman.

Resolved—. That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the
Chairman, for his courteous and able discharge of the duties of the
