OF THE EXTENSION RAILWAY.
,i4e• 23, Bond-street, Manchester, 2d October, 1838.
.--Tt appears that at a MEETING, over which you pre-
-11,,,ti1; held in the Shire Hall, Stafford, on Thursday last, and put-
beoi, .to consist of Owners of Property anal Inhabit.ants, certain
, Vions were passed, amongst which are the following
, ' That this Meeting views with surprise and regret that the
wen:473ehester and Birmingham Railway Company intend to prose-
ye their application to Parliament for an extension of their Rolla
joi,;; (rum near Stone down the Trent valley to Rugby, instead of
, tiR the Grand Junction line at Chebsey.

44 I hat regarding such a proceeding on the part of the Company
is,ll.4„,breay.h of faith towards this town, whose support they obtained
the 7' and 1837, against the same measure, when promoted by
Ns.. ''ioth Union Company, this Meeting feels called upon to op.
.-.e the .
?at. b Project, as it cannot have become more beneficial,, or pro-
/ Y the mere change of the hands promoting it.
The:the former of these resolutions it is assumed, that the Man-
the
i,thieth
jeurnaentidonßirminoham Railway Company do not intend. to effect
authorised by Parliament under their present. Act
the LVI° Grand Junction Railway at Chebsey, an assumption wht.ll
T, ireetors are compelled to characterise as utterly unfounded.
aellsee latter resolution alleges that the Company in seeking an ex-
have'" of their Railway by way of the Trent valley to Rugby,
the Dire faith with the town of Stafford. This imputation
Acts. 'rectors declare to be in like manner unwarranted by the
It i
te il YerY much to be regretted that, at a meeting professing to
heeena_ed for the purposes of inquiry, the discussion should have
eert.roducted, and the resolutions no doubt prepared, as they
ip.,417'41y were read, by the Solicitor to the Grand Junction Com-
htt3t,,,set there, not to advance the interests of the town of Stafford,
lieu)._ iMpart a complexion to the proceedings suited to the par-
tot,,'t `news of those whom he r?presented. And the Directors
ence'eot.e.that they have just occasion of complaint, that the influ-
ritetarr )".• station as Mayor, should have been given, even in
beenance, to proceedings of an exparte kind, and that,. without
b ice to or communication with this Company, resolutions have
sod ak!asse.d under your authority misrepresenting their intentions
be io7necting upon their conduct. At the proper time, which will
NI- fore a Parliamentary Committee, the Directors will be quite
ter Y to meet any charge of brech o faithwhomsoever pre-
lilrti, either as r7-gards their proceedings with
tithe Grand Junction itd waY Company, or with the town of Stafford. The former,
te°(l, will do well to bear in mind that this Board distinctly im-
, es to them the very charge which they make against this Corn-
'Bi y+ in, first, assenting to the present line of the Manchester and
--nralit

,seles tbo as-ist it, and then, so soon as the Act was obtained and the
"7'ir of a Trent line as they conceived rempyed, endeavouring to

the construction of the Railway which they had thus
cledged themselves to support, by refusing any and all arrangement
Rath this Company, unless " Crewe" were their ultimate paint.
