NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

WOOLWICH, AuG. 30.—The Right Hon. the Earl
of Auckland, K.C.8., First Lord of the Admiralty,
Rear-Admiral J. W. Deans Dundas, C. 8., First
Naval Lord Capta.n M. F. Fitzhardinge Berkeley,
C. 8., Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, visited
Woolwich Dockyard on Thursday la-t, and itispectud
the Phoenix steam sloop, Commander J. S. Dennis,
which has been taken into dock to he refitted an.i
made again ready for sea. From the Phoenix their
Lordships went on board the Alban transport steam-
vessel, Master Commander Bradshaw, recently re-
turned from the coast of Ireland; arid then visited
the Spiteful steam-sloop, recently returned from
the East Indies and China station, and paid off at
Woolwich. Their Lordships also inspected the Royal
Albert, of 120 guns, in process of construction.
Captain M. F. Fitzhardinge Berkeley, C. 8., one of
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and the
Hon. H. G. Ward, secretary to their Lordships,
arrived at Woolwich Dockyard on Saturday, and pre-
sided at an examination which occupied from eleven
o'clock in the forenoon till six o'clock in the evening,
relative to a series of annoyances and threats of per-
sonal danger which have been made use of by the
men in the shipwright's department against Mr Chat..
field, one of the assistants to the master-shipwright at
this dockyard. The examination of the men has been
adjournei until Tuesday next, and from the state-
ments made by the various witnesses yesterday his
Lordship considered it his duty immediately to dis-
miss Ballard and Pearn, shipwrights; Prouse, ship-
wright's apprentice, and Bannister, a caulker; and
intimated that the solicitor to the Admiralty would
be instructed to prosecute the first two. Inspectors
Ranwell, West, and another, and five leading men,
and about forty of the shipwrights, caulkers, and
labourers in the shipwrights department, have been
suspended for the present until a further investigation
takes place. When the Dockyard battalion assembled
in the evening, Captain Fitzhardinge Berkeley ad-
dressed the men upon the parade-ground, and assured
them that their Lordships were resolved to protect
the officers in the exercise of their duties, and that a
repetition of similar conduct on the part of the men
would cause their dismissal and such other punish-
ment as the cases deserved.

It appears from the statements elicited from the
witnesses yesterday, that some serious injury was
intended to be inflicted upon Mr. Chatfield, and that
his escaping with his life is a very providential oc•
currence. The danger was averted by private infer:
mation being given to him that he was to be made
to " walk the plank." A plank of some thickness
was sawn nearly through, and the apparently whole
side of the timber placed uppermost in the Hydra
steam-vessel, on which the men were at work, and
over which it was expected Mr. Chatfield would walk
when on board inspecting the work. To add to the
enormity of the contemplated offence, it is said that
a large piece of wood was suspended in such a man-
ner that on the plank giving way the wood above
would also fall down on the person who might be
unfortunate enough to attempt to walk over the
plank, and render the impossibility of escape from
serious injury beyond doubt.
It has been also stated that Mr. Chatfield, against
whom the most angry feelings appear to have existed
among the men, had merely, when he found some of
them lying down when they should have been at
w trk, reprimanded them, and said that on a repeti-
tion of similar conduct he would report them. The
whole matter is now in course of a thorough investi-
gation, and every fact connected with it will be
divulged, as their Lordships have resolved that the
witnesses shall be protected, and one of them, who
has given important evidence, is not to return to
work in the dockyard, but will be employed. else.
where, to prevent the chance of danger to him for
stating the circumstances of which he had a personal
knowledge.
Rumours were circulated here yesterday evening
of such a nature that it was considered advisable to
have eight men of each of the companies of Royal
Marines under arms during the night,in case of any
danger in connexion with the dockyard. Happily
there was no appearance of a tendency to create a
breach of the peace, and the men who were dismissed
and suspended on Saturday night, on their application
during the working hours to enter and look after their
tools, were permitted to do so and every facility
afforded them for that purpose. The step adopted by
Capt. Berkeley, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, on
Saturday night, in dismissing some of the men and sus-
pending others, has had a very salutary effect, and affords
a prospect that the real offenders will be discovered. The
suspension is, no doubt, hard upon some of the men,
who have been for a long period in the service with-
out the slightest reflectionon their characters and
conduct during the whole time ; but they may rest
assured justice will be done them when their inno-
cence and absence of knowledge of the bad conduct
of others are established. The recent excellent war-
rant granting additional pay to the inspectors and
leading men, and holding out prospects of promotion
to steady, well-conducted workmen, and clearly lay-
ing down tin course thy/ should pursue is the vveut

mig1...r........0010.111.001.1..................1..
of any of their superior officers finding unneceslo
fault with them, leaves no excuse for their adopting
annoyances towards those placed over them under avie
circumstances, as access can be obtained at any time
to the commodore superintendent, or in his absen.c
to the master attendant, fa- the redress of all Ow
vances. The time has gone past for any good toero
suit to the men from similar annoyances to thL
ti
which they have subjected Mr. Chatfield, as :
highest authorities are resolved to protect the
offleTo
of the dockyard in the performance of
men, their f datt
seeing that the work is done; and the i weoli
consider themselves aggrieved, must apply to the
for redress, and not attempt to take it into= heir.yr,e
hands. It would not be a matter of surpo It I,.'nf
present step of the men led to the disflanchisernent_tauy,
all persons employed in the dockyard, too many ha
ing an impression that, as they have votes and a ,;4,
lief of consequent influence with 'Members of Par"
ment, they can act with impunity.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND
DUDLEY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday, at Dee's Royal Hotel, Birmingham ; Mr.
William Matthews in the chair.

The advertisement convening the meeting having
been read, the seal of the company was placed to the
register of proprietors, and at the request of the
CHAIRMAN,

Mr. WHATRLY (the solicitor) read the following
report :—" Your directors have the satisfaction of re-
porting that the sanction of Parliament, for confirm-
ing the agreement for the sale of this railway to the
Great Western Railway Company has been obtained.
Whilst by this measure the interest of the share-
holders has been secured, the directors are convinced
that the convenience end advantage of the public have
been greatly promoted. The arrangements for ob-
taining possession of the land and property required
for the railway have been carried on with all the
celerity practicable; but they have been greatly re-
tarded by difficulties incidental to dealing with pro-
perty in a populous district, and necessarily, therefore,
of a complicated character. The contracts for the
whole of the line have been let, but the directors
have considered it most prudent to postpone pro-
ceeding with some of them until the land can be
secured on reasonable terms, an object which any
undue precipitation would defeat. The engineer's
report will explain the progress which is being
made upon that portion of the line on which
the contractors are at work. The line from Stour-
bridge _to. West Bromwidv.pught to_ be_obtaillegl
this geinpanyin- the last 'mien of Parliament, was
loit iethe Rause •of :CoranTons - but-the opposing
Stour 'Valley line, 'promoted.. by the-London and
North-Western Railway Coinpany, was also rejected
:by theilOuse pf Lords: -Thseßill for the amalgama-
tion of this company with the Birmingham anti Oz.;
ford Railway Company was defeated by the organized
opposition of parties in the, interest of the London
and North-Western Rail Way ,Company. Power has
been obtained to form an additional station in Consti-
tution-hill, Birmingham.- To render the line in all
respects efficient for the convenience and accommoda-
tion of the public, the power to lay down the broad
in addition to the narrow gauge appears to be essen-
tial, and the necessity of this is so apparent and im-
perative that its eventual attainment may be calcu-
lated on with the most entire confidence. , The au-
ditors have examined the accounts, which are made
up to the 30th of June, and by the annexed state-
ment a balance of 46,6181. 16s. 10d. is shown to the
credit of the company."
The engineer's report states that the progress of
the works has not been great during the last six
months, owing to the difficulty of obtaining land on
the portions of the line where the heaviest works are
situated. When the final arrangements with land-
owners are completed, the contractors are in a posi-
tion to finish the work rapidly, as they have a great
quantity of bricks and other materials upon the
ground.
From the statement of accounts it appears that the
receipts have been 208,828/. 135., and the expendi-
ture 162,2101. 25., leaving a balance in hand of
46,618/. 16s.
The CHAIRMAN said the shareholders had heard
the report read, and he believed that it was necessary
and usual that in moving its adoption the chairman
should make a few observations relative to the posi-
tion of the company, and he Was happy to think that
those observations need not be of any length, as, from
the few shareholders who attended, it was clear that
it was not deemed necessary to watch them very
closely—(Hear, hear)—for in another company inti-
mately connected with that, where' it was deemed
necessary by certain parties to watch every move-
ment the directqrs made, they could always calculate
upon a more numerous attendance.—(Hear, hear,
and laughter.) He was happy to say that there was
no railway in course of construction whose affairs
were in a more satisfactory state than those of that
company, but there were one or two points on which
he would like to make a few observations. The share-
holders were aware that the Great Western Company
had entered into an arrangement for the purchase of
both that and the Birmir,glipm and Oxford line;
and he need not say how gratified he should have
been if that arrangement had been carried out
in its integrity.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Cir-
cumstances had, however arisen, by which another
company had succeeded in deferring for a time the
carrying out that agreement.—(Hear, hear.) He
said deferred, because he could not believe that the
proceedings which had been taken would ultimately
amount to a defeat; and he therefore considered that
it was only deferring for a time the benefits ex-
pected by, and which he had no doubt would accrue,
both to the public and the shareholders.—(Hear,
hear.) But he might observe, and he wished to be
particularly marked by the shareholders, having had
numerous inquiries on the subject, that the agree-
ment of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and
Dudley Company with the Great Western, was en-
tirely distinct from and irrespective of that with the
Birmingham and Oxford Company, and that agree-
ment had been confirmed by two Acts of Parliament,
the one obtained by that company, and the other by
the Great Western Company—(Hear, hear)—and
therefore, irrespective of the other company, the
agreement between the Great Western and the Bir-
mingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Company
would be carried out intact.--(Hear, hear.) He
thought it necessary, to make that explanation, in
consequence of having received various letters on
the subject. (The Hon. Gentleman here read the
clause of the two Acts in confirmation of his state-
ment.) By their agreement with the Great Western
Company they were to receive 101. 15s. per share from
them on the completion of their line, and in order
that there might be no doubt upon the subject, he
was authorised to say that the Great Western Com-
pany would be prepared to issue coupons for the
30/. 55., being the 20/. paid in full, and the 10/. ss.
from five per cent. being allowed upon the sales made,
and four per cent. upon the portion paid in advance,
such portion coming into the receipt of the five per
cent. as it was called up— (Hear, hear)—and the
coupons being payable upon the completion of the
line. In respect to the quarrel relative to the lines
in that district, it appeared that the London and
North-Western party conceived that the question in
dispute was only with the Great 'Western, but that
was not the case. That line was originally promoted
by the manufacturing interests of the midland dis-
tricts, and not by the Great Western Company. It
was not until after great solicitation—the trouble
of which nobody knew better than he (the Chairman)
did, having formed one of a committee for establish-
ing the company—that the Great Western Company
consented to have anything to do with them, and it
was then only upon the principle of keeping out a
third party—(Hear, hear)—for they might depend
upon it that nothing was more fallacious than to
.-,urpooe that iF 6ho Crauf Woeforn Clnribpsny
feated, in or were to recede from proceeding with that
line, that the public would be satisfied. And he could
assure Mr. Glyn and the London and North-Western
Company, that were they to succeed in defeat-
ing—which he did not believe they ultimately would
—the lease of that line to the Great Western Com-
pany, they would be only laying the foundation of
greater injury to themselves—(Hear, hear)—for it
was quite clear that while the requirements of the
public and the opinions of the Legislature were in
favour of fair and reasonable competition, they could
not prevent a third party entering the field ; and
much as they hal spent in protecting what they con•
sidered to be their interests, it would be but trifling
in comparison to what they would be required to ex-
pend, to prevent the public and the inhabitants of the
district asserting their wants, and raising another
and more powerful party than the Great Western
Company. For this he could assure them—that the
manufacturing interests were resolved to have a com-

peting line, notonly to Liverpool, but from the whole
district, north and south, for Southampton as well
as for Liverpool, Scotland, and Ireland. Should not
competing lines be on different gauges, it would be
the better, for he believed that there would never be a
competition that the public would be satisfied with
unless it were so ; and he believed that if a settle-
ment was not come to, that ultimately even Mr. Glyn
would be compelled to acknowledge that the real in-
terests of his company had not been served by the op-
position to the Oxford and Birmingham line. In
conclusion, he begged to move that the report as
read, together with the statement of accounts, be re-
ceived, adopted, and printed for circulation among the
proprietors.--(Hear, hear.) Those who were in
favour of the motion would hold up their hands.
About twenty hands being held up,
The CHAIRMAN put the contrary, and declared the
resolution unanimously carried.
The Earl of DARTMOUTH said that he was sure
they could not separate without giving a vote of
thanks to the Chairman, which he begged to propose.
Lord lIATHERTON begged to second the motion,
and to express his opinion that the midland and ma-
nufacturing districts would never be satisfied until a
fair and liberal competition was established. The
Railway Commissioners had addressed a series of
questions to the London and North-Western, ami
other companies in the district, to elicit their opi-
nions upon the question of a mixture of the gauges,
and that similar questions were to be addressed to
1 the Great Western Company; but be was anxious to

declare his conviction that the inhabitants-41f those
districts would never be satisfied with any devil-an-at
the Railway Commissioners on the subject, or of any
authority other than that to which they were used,
and by which they were legally bound—a Select
Committee of the Houses of Parliament.—(Hear.)
The CHAIRMAN begged to express his acknow-
ledgments for the compliment, which he said was
much heightened by the fact that it was moved and
seconded by two gentlemen distinguished for their
influence in the district and their business habits.
The meeting then separated.

BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION.
The usual ordinary half•yearly meeting took place
in Dee's Assembly Room, Birmingham, at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. W. Matthews pre-
sided upon the occasion ; and amongst others present
were Lord Hatherton, Mr. Spooner, M.P., Mr.
Mozley, Mr. Saunders (Great Western), Mr. Cross-
field, Mr. William Hall, Mr. C. Robinson Kettle,
and other influential shareholders of the Great
Western, the London and North-Western, and the
Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways. Before
the commencement of the proceedings,
Mr. MozLEr inquired of the Chairman whether he
considered the meeting duly constituted ?
The I;IIAIRMAN-I conceive so ; and our first duty
is now to attach the seal of the company to the list of
shareholders.

Mr. MozLET objected to the seal being attached
The opinion of the meeting upon that point ought
first to he taken.

TLe CHAIRMAN said, acting under legal advice, he

--believed-be had the power to direct that the -seal:-=of.
the company should be affixed to the list.
Mr. MozLEr—Previous to the Chairman doing so
it was his duty to put a distinct resolution upon the
subject to the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN—I certainly think I must do so.
Mr. MOZLEY—Not without an order of the meet=
,ing. If the Chairman could do it upon his accord
there was no necessity for calling the meeting. He
asked the Chairman at the commencement- of the
proceedings whether the meeting was properly con-'
stituted, and yet without consulting their opinion the
Chairman now proceeded to attach the seal of the
company without first asking for their authority.
Mr. WHATELY, the solicitor to the company, said
the Chairman was acting in conformity with their Act
of Parliament.

Mr. MOZLEY did not deny the words of the Act of
Parliament, hut the proceeding was not in compliance
with proceedings at similar meetings. Before, there-
fore, the Chairman attached the seal, he begged leave
to move the following resolution :—" That the seal
now produced not being the seal of the company, the
same be not affixed to the register of the shareholders;
and that such seal having been ordered at the special .
general meeting of the company, on the 24th of July
last, to be no further used,:the Chairman and directors
he, and they are hereby ordered, now to deliver the
same into the custody of Mr. Elias Joseph Mozley,
one of the directors of this co,npany."
The motion being seconded,
The CHAIRMAN begged leave to explain the course
he should feel it to be his duty to adopt. He belieired
they were aware that a suit was now pending—a
bill having been filed on Friday—which would bring
all their differences before a court of equity, and,the
validity and legality of their agreement for sale to
the Great Western brought to a quick adjustment.
Theretlire he felt bound to affix the seal of the com-
pany to .the register.
Mr. MOZLEY contended that the non-affixingf, of
the seal. would best effect the legal proceedings now
pending.
The CHAIRMAN said he was extremely desirotis 'to
meet the' views of the honourable proprieter, but at
the sometime he had no wish to adopt a' false step.
He felt that he:was placed in a respprhale- situation,
and he deemed it, therefore, right in all matters of
difficulty, to be guided by competent legal advice.
Under such advice he felt bound to decide that he
could not put Mr. Mozley's resolution.
'Mr. Mozner—Then I will put it myself.
The CHAIRMAN—Under my firm protest.
Mr. MOZLEY—Of course that we cannot help.
Mr. (to the Chairman)— Go on with busi-
ness.

Mr. MozLEY then put his resolution, against which
few, if any hands were held up.
Mr. Mon,Er—l have now to state that the motion
is carried, and have to demand that the seal be " deli-
vered up to me.
The CMAIRMAN—Then I beg leave to decline to
do so.

Mr. WHATELY then proceeded to read the report
and statement of accounts as follows :

" Since the report submitted to the meeting of
shareholders by the directors on the 27th of February
last, their proceedings have been in some degree em-
barrassed by the differences which have arisen be-
tween the director- and a portion of the shareholders.
In consequence of those differences the directors re-
spectfully refrain from any remark on the Parlia-
mentary proceedings of the past session, or on those
of a legal character in which the company is now
involved, and which have been of late so frequently
under discussion. Under these circumstances they
confine themselves, on the present occasion, simply to
the statement of the accounts, which have been ex-
amined and approved by the auditors."
The balance sheet showed the receipts to have been
440,0081. 19s. 3d., and the expenditure 398,5191.,
leaving a balance of 41,4891. 165.; but it appeared
in the investigation caused by Mr. Mozley and his
friends, as alluded to in the proceedings, that the
amount actually paid for land during the above pe-
riod was 303,767/. Bs. ld., and the amount actually
paid for law charges was 30,9001. 3s. 10d.; these dis-
crepancies appeared to have arisen on misstatement in
the previous balance-sheet.
The CHAIRMAN said tint he believed it was the
duty of a chairman, in moving the adoption of a re-
port, to make a few observations as to the situation of
the company. He should have been, under ordinary
circumstances, most happy to do so; but seeing that
legal proceedings had been taken, which must. shortly
be brought to a conclusion, he should, as far as pos-
sible, follow the example which the directors had set
in the report, of abstaining from debatable matter,
and would simply move that the report be received.
Mr. SPOONER, M.P., secondod the motion.
The CHAIRMAN was about to put the motion, when
Mr. MOZLEY said that he hoped the Chairman
would not proceed so fast as to preclude him making
any observations.
The CHAIRMAN could assure the Hon. Proprietor
that he had no wish to do so; but he did not think
there would have been any objection to that moti ,n.
Mr. MOZLEY wished to know whether the adop-
tion of the report was meant to include the accounts ?
he CHAIRMAN said that the motion NV4O <nay nor
the reception of the report, the adoption he would
put hereafter. He considered the resolution would
include the accounts.

Mr. Muziaa wisned to know now much the line
was likely to exceed the estimate.

•ks were proceed-

ing according to Act Of Parliament.
- ZLEY stated that there was no truth in the
assertion that fiadbeen made relative to the London
and North-Western Company having anything to do
with the proceedings Of the proprietors. He was not
prepared to pass t accounts, as 9,0101. had been
expended in purchase of land at Leamington,
w is - ,as not required for the purposes of the Act
of Parliament. That item ought to have come in the
accounts of the last half year, yet he found that there
was no such item, but it was included in law and
Parliamentary expenses ; yet, elthough the accounts
were audited, it could be proved that land at Eastnor-
terrace had been paid for by two special cheques of
7,000/. and 2,0101., while it was stated that no land
was paid for. He, therefore, repeated his question
relative to the purchase of land.
The CHAIRMAN declined to answer the question.
Mr. Mozeur said that the directors must then stand
at the bar of public opinion, who would form their
own opinion of the conduct of the directors. He
reiterated that they had no right to expend 9,010/. for
land at Eastrsor-terrace, and complained that while
last half year the law and Parliamentary expenses
were confined to 18,000/. or 19 0001., they were now
swelled to 30,000/. He considered that he had good
reason for asking the question he had done, when he
found that on the 30th of October, before the agree-
ment for the sale of the line was entered into, a reso-
lution was carried to take sufficient land to make four
miles of railway northward and three miles south-
word, and that fact, he believed, justified the first
question he had put as to how fair the es:iniates had
been exceeded, and he would leave the public to
judge of how the directors had peformed their duties,
even before they entered into toe agreement fur the
sale of the line.

The CHAIRMAN said that was a question he could
not answer, as the engineer was not present.
Mr. Mom,Ey then asked whether the estimates
were likely to he exceeded.
The CHAIRMAN having given a similar reply to his
previous one,
Mr. Mozi.Ey said that the engineer was the servant
(,f the company, and ought to have been present to
have given any explanation asked by the_sehacrh.:;

he would not stop to inquire whether it was good or
bad—any excess beyond the 1,000,000/. was to be I
-paid by the Great lt estern Company, and the share-
holders could not be rendered liable beyond the capi-
tal. He did not, however, think that more would be
expended than the 1,000,0001., and what they were
entitled to borrow.
Mr. MOZLEY said that the observations were
founded on the assumption that the agreementut it

might cost, perhaps if the line were to come to
2,500,000/. instead of 1,000,000/. it would be the better.
They were bound to raise 1,000,0001., and he thought
the directors ought to be prepared to tell them whe-
ther it was likely to cost one million or two. He
found in the accounts an item of 312,7771. for land,
and he wished to know whether that was all for land
required for the Birmingham and Oxford Company.
He called on the Chairman to answer that question.
They were only authorised to make a line from Fenny
Compton to Birmingham, and he therefore asked the
Chairman whether they bad purchased land beyond
those limits? because, if so, he apprehended it was a
violation of the Act of Parliament.
The CHAIRMAN thought it best to state that, as a
bill had been filed in Chancery to which he must give
an answer next week, he must decline altogether an-
swering questions relative to the accounts on that

The adjourned meeting was then proceeded with.
Mr. DOBIE read a long legal document relative to
the steps taken to carry out the resolutions of the
24th of July, for going before the Court of Chan-
cery, and stated that the case would have come on
on Wednesday next, but to suit the convenience of
the other side an application was made to the Vice-
Chancellor to defer it till next week.

Mr. MozLEY moved the adoption of Mr. Dobie's
report, and the further adjournment of the special
meeting. He regretted that such a course was ne-
cessary, but in consequence of the legal proceedings,
it might be necessary that they should again meet to
consult upon the further steps to be taken.
The CHAIRMAN having declined to put any motion
relative to Mr. Dobie's report, the resolution of July
not being recognised by the directors,
the resolution himself:—" That the report of Mr.

PORTBURY PIER AND i AMWAY.
The halt-yearly meeting' of the proprietors was
held on Saturday, at the Wliife Lton -dote), Bri-tol.
Mr. P. W. S. MILiIS, Laving been called to
the cl air, briefly opened the proceeiings, and called
upon the secretary to read the report, w:;ich stEed
that, in th. report mali- to the last L.,,t ne,.al meeting,
the directors proposed to c.oltimonce the con,truction
of the most important parts of the line. The amount
of capital which woukl hAve been immediately re-
qui,ed, had thin course been adopted. ,s,ould Neces-
sarily have been so great as to ievolve calls upon the
shareholders within the shortest periods, and to the
full extent authorised. Under the circumstances
of the monetary condition of the country
the directors did not feel justified in adopting
this course. Their anticipations as to the probable

may from time to time appear most advisable. As,
however, the same reasons do not exist for delaying
the prosecution of the pier, the construction of which.
will involve the expenditure of a comparatively in-
considerable portion of the capital, and as it is a part
of the undertaking which will immediately on
completion be productive of revenue to the coml.
pany, the directors propose to proceed with its
construction forthwith. The directors, in con-
clusion, state that, anxious as they are to
effect the accomplishment of the whole undertakiag
as speedily as possible, they nevertheless feel that the
circumstances of the times render it more to the in•
terest of the proprietors that it should be prosecuted
gradually. They will, therefore, regulate their ope-

Mr. MOZLEY said that he he..d recently discovered
that the resolution referred to was not for the purpose
of laying down four lines of rails on the narrow gauge,
but.two on the broad, and the Chairman of the Great
Western Company had told them that the contracts
were entered into to make the line on that gauge,
which he (Mr. Mozley) contended was contrary to the
Act of Parliament. He regretted that the Chairman.
of the tll'eat 'We!ltem Company was not present, as he
wished to make one or two observations on what that
gentleman had said relative to the meeting for endea-
vouring to bring about an arrangement between
the companies. Mr. Russell had endeavoured to
fix him (Mr. Mozley) with having stated that the
question on which they separated was the " only"
one to be considered. Now he would leave the
public to judge whether that was likely, when he
had repeatedly stated that it would be useless to
hold the meeting unless it was for the general pur-
joiiie of considering all differences between them—and
lid had repeatedly, put the question whether no other
question mild be gone into. *There was one remark
of Mr. Riissen, which, in justice to his legal friends,
he could not let pass. 'That gentlemen had endea-
voured to throw the onus of the negotiations being
broken off upon those gentlemen ; but, so far from
that being the fact, they were very desirous of not
being mixed up in the question at all, and were not
'to be•found fur some time by him (Mr. Mozley), and
they wet* about to adjourn when they came in. He
(Mr. Mozley) would be extremely glad to have the
disputes settled; and either with or without a friendly
suit the shareholders with whom he acted would
afford every facility for its being so settled in the due
course of law, at as early a period as possible. Not
considering the accounts satisfactory, he thought it
necessary to have an'adjournment of that meeting,
that they might be examined by a meeting of the
committee. He therefore begged to move—" That
the now presented be not adopted, and that
the st4ementtof accounts accompanying the same
being .svliolly unsatisfactory to this meeting, be not
received, it appearing that , large amounts of the
funds of the company included in that account have
been - paid away by the directors for purposes
not justified by the Act of incorporation, and
contrary to the direction of the shareholders.
That such statement of accounts be referred for exa-
mination to a committee of shareholders, consisting of
Messrs. Samuel Beale, Abel Peyton, George Turner,
and William Robinson Kettle, and that such com-
mittee be requested to examine the same, and report
thereon, to an adjournment of this meeting, and that
the directors do produce to such committee, or to any
one of them, from time to time, all the books and
papers of the company in their possession relating to
the matter of such account, and that this meeting be
now adjourned to Friday, the 15th day of October, at
Dee's tioyal Hotel, in Birmingham, at three o'clock
in the afternoon."
Mr. GEORGE TURNER seconded the amendment.
The CHAIRMAN suggested that a portion of the
resolution which-declared that large portions of the
funds had been paid away for purposes not justifies; by
the Act of Parliament, should be omitted
Mr. MOZLEY, though he regretted that any portion
of the resolution should be distasteful to the directors,
felt bound to persevere in it as he proposed it.
On the question being put the amendment was de-
clared carried, the day of adjournment being, at the
suggestion of Lord Hatherton, altered to the 22d, and
the report was accordingly negatived.
