DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER

RAILWAY.
A meeting of the shareholders of this company was
held at the Guildhall Coffee-house yesterday, for the
purpose of considering the best means to wind up
satisfactorily the affairs of the company ; Dr. Burnett
in the chair.

Mr. ROBINSON said that the financial statement
that was made at the last meeting of the company, in
1846, having been unsatisfactory, the present meeting
had been convened. From the statement it appeared
there were large sums that had been paid to the
solicitors and the engineers, and respecting which the
fullest information should have been afforded the share-
holders. There were three modes open to the share-
holders—the first to appoint some gentlemen to
confer with the committee of management with a
view to an arrangement ; the second, to institute a
suit in equity ; and the third, to avail themselves of
the powers of the Act of Parliament, and put the
company into the Court of Bankruptcy.
After some discussion as to which mode should be
adopted,
Mr. Isaacs moved a resolution, to the effect that it
was the opinion of the meeting that the winding-up
of the affairs of the company would be best accom-
plished by bringing the matter under the jurisdiction
of a Court of Bankruptcy, and that the necessary
steps be taken for that purpose.
Mr. DOBSON seconded the resolution, which was
carried by a large majority.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the
meeting separated.
