VITESTMINSTER and DEPTFORD RAIL-
WAY COMPANY, to be designated in future the
" WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE, DEPTFORD, and GREEN-
WICH RAILWAY COMPANY," Offices, 21, 'Old Jewry
.
Notice is hereby given, that under the powers conferred upon them
by the Subscribers' agreement, the Directors of the " Westminster
and Deptford Railway Company" have determined, in all their
future notices and proceedings, to designate this Company as the
" WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE, DEPTFORD, and GREEN-
WICH RAILWAY COMPANY." By this alteration of title,
the Directors believe the objects of the project will be more clearly
understood, and its merits more fully appreciated.
The Directors have great pleasure in taking this opportunity of
informing the Subscribers, that the result of actual observation has
proved the traffic on this ine considerably to exceed any amount
previously anticipated, and they have no doubt of being able to
establish, to the satisfaction of Prrliament, the advantages both to
the public and to the proprietors, which must attend the formation
of this Railway. In addition to the populous districts with which
this line will be connected in the neighbourhood of London, it will
receive a vast accession both of passengers and merchandise from
the various Railways in course of completion or projection south of
London to Brighton, Dover, Croydon, and the Kent, Sussex, and.
Surrey counties in general, of which Railways this line must
naturally become the western entrance to the metropolis..
Holders "of Scrip under either title, will be equally recognized as
Shareholders of the " Westminster-bridge, Deptford, and Green
with Railway Company," the Offices. of which are removed to 2
Old Jewry.

By Order of the Board,
