Meeting of the Shareholders of the above Company,
Present—Shareholders holding 5,038 Shares in the Undertaking.
JOHN FLEMING, Esq., of Claremont, Deputy Chairman of the
Company, took the Chair, ex officio.
The advertisement coffin the Meeting, and the clauses in the
Act relating to the business to be brought before it, were read.
The Secretary produced a list of the Shareholders, which, on the
motion of Gitoncn MORE NISBETT, Esq., of Cairnhill, seconded
by JOHN 111tvcitELL, Esq., Glasgow, was sealed by the corporate
seal of the Company. The Secretary then read to the Meeting the
Report of the Directors.
It was moved by JAMES BooLE, jun., Esq., Merchant in Glasgow,
seconded by JOHN HUNTER, Esq., Ardrossan, and unanimously
agreed to,
That the Report of the Directors be approved of, awl the thanks
of the Meeting be given to them for their long-continued and gra-
tuitous exertions in the furtherance of the undertaking.
It was moved by ANDREW WILLIAMSON, Esq., Dean of Guild,
Ayr, and seconded by ROBERT IVloNTaoliguiE, Esq., of Craig-
house,

That this Meeting express their continued confidence in the
complete success of the undertaking, and their satisfaction at the
information that was communicated to them by the Directors, that
the local traffic which may be expected on the line at each extremity
will yield a profitable return on the capital expended, even before
the railway is opened for thorough traffic.
John Leadbetter, Esq., requested that, before the motion was
pa, .11fr. Miller, the Company's engineer, might be allowed to
answer certain questions which he would put as to the time and
cost of executing the portions of the line between Glasgow and
Paisley, and Irvine and Ayr, and as to the traffic which might be
expected on them. Mr. Miller having answered these questions,
and that part of the Report of the Directors which regarded the
traffic on the Ayrshire end of the lines having been again read, Mr.
Leadbettor expressed himself completely satisfied, and the motion
put and unanimously agreed to.
A qtrostion was then put by Mr. Hunter as to the views of the
Direc:ors• in regard to immediately completing the line between
Paisley ansi Dairy, to which it was answered that it would be of
great impor tanee that portions of the line should be opened, and a
return derive:l from them before the capital for executing the re-
maining part was called; but that, consistently with the views and
the conveniences. of the shareholders in paying the calls, it was the
impression of the Directors that the execution of the whole main
line should be proceeded with at as early a period as possible.
It was then moved by James M'Call, Esq., of Dahlowdie, se-
conded by Theodoria, Walrond, Esq., of Caklerpark, and unani-
:mainly agreed to, that the thanks of the meeting be given to the

Since the passing of the Act of Incorporation the Directors have
ascertained all the liabilities of the Company—the engineering ex-
/"lsea---the costs of soliciting the Act through Parliament in two
!jjnittet sessoils—the charge for surveys to Limerick, Cahir, and
cavethe general expenses of the Company ; and they
much satistaction in stating that, after discharging all these
ngagements a considerable balance will remain at the disposal of
the Directors.
The Directors refer to this fact in proof of the strict economy
"with h.
w ter they have administered the funds of the Company, and
at the moderate amount of the legal and engineering expenses.
By the Act of liworporation, the possession of a most important
tad profitable line of railway passing through a populous country,
and one also peculiarly favourable to the formation of the railway,
to secured to the shareholders, and the Directors are enabled to
state, upon the authority of their engineers, that the cost of its for-
, ation may and
ame will be most materially reduced below the estimates
laid before Parlint.
the calculations of income proved in the Committer on the
„ill; it was shown that allowirg 501. per cent. of the income for
the annual expenses of the undertaking, a profit of 101. to 12/. per
!ent. would remain to the shareholders. 'the leport of their en-
Mneers justifies the Directors in believing that this profit will be
Ifelly realised.
ti the Act of Incorporation having directed that the earlier part of
by the
should be mad tof such width as should he recommended
`l'. the Railway Commissioners for Ireland, the Directors have ap-
red tv the Commissioners to be informed the width they propose
p reconwend, and their report has been promised to be laid before
'arlitintnt early in this session.
As t:.% Directors fed that the interests of the shareholders will be
est consuh.el by the active commencement of the works as scon as
t, racticable, Lttey have directed the line, for the Ist eighteen miles,
to be marked c ut, and the value of the land requit ed to be ascer-
ned, that no impediment to the prosecution of the works may
exist ;
