The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of Mr.
Roney, and the officers of the company," including suc-
cess to the engineering, the locomotive, the coaching and
goods departments. It was impossible to have a secre-
tary who could carry out the directions of the board
better than Mr. Roney.—(Cheers.) Mr. Davis, the ac-
countant, Mr. Moseley, the goods superintendent, Mr.
Scott, of the locomotive department, Mr. Hunter,
the locomotive superintendent, " Mr. Samuels," the
resident engineer, and other gentlemen in connexion
with the company, deserved favourable mention, and he
begged to propose their healths. Each toast was well
received, and they respectively returned thanks.
The Criainmaie then gave " The men employed in the
several departments of the company." He said the
affairs of the company must be carried on: by them,
whether for weal or for woe; and that the company were
most anxious to encourage those who attended steadily
to their duties ; and, in appointing men, they looked not
to patronage, but to the ability of the men they em-
ployed, and to the patronage of the public.— (Loud
cheers.) The men and the company had been
blamed, and not only blamed but blackgnarded
on account of the want of the necessary plant, but their
means had been increased, and they intended to apply
to Parliament for powers to enlarge their station at
Shoreditch.
Mr. RONEY brhfly returned thanks. He said he
had spent many proud and happy days, but he had never
experienced more pleasure than he did on that occasion,
because he never saw a prouder or happier sight than
he did on that occasion, namely, he beheld such a large 1
number enjoying themselves through the liberality of
the directors of the company.—(Loud cheers.) It was
gratifying to know they had as intelligent a body of men
as any other railway in the kingdom; and with their united
endeavours, and with the blessing of God, they would
make the Eastern Counties line as successful as any
other.—(Loud cheers.) For the personal manifestation
of respect they had evinced he begged to tender them
his most heartfelt thanks. He resumed his seat amidst
loud cheers.
Mr. PETO and Mr. Duzicabr addressed the assembly
on behalf of the ladies in very gallant terms, and the
company separated.
The tables were then cleared away, and dancing was
commenced and kept up until an early hour this
morning.
