freshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by her

tringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their re-
pellent action, endangering health. It is, therefore, imperative

As secretary to the Great Western Company, althg q n h
a shareholder in the Birmingham and Oxford, he
hitherto carefully refrained
_from taking part in these
discussions, feeling that in his position it was better that
he should not interfere. lie was not going into the
question between the dissentients of the Birmingh and Oxford Junction Company and the Great Western
Company, but with regard to the overtures of peace he
regretted that Mr. Motley had characterised them as
delusive, and he hoped he should be able to show that
they were made in good faith. With regard to the
Great Western not sooner making overtures he might
call to their recollection that e the end of last year and
the beginning of the present negotiations were entered
into bet Ween the Great Western and the London sad
North-Western Companies, which led to no reilult.
During the time the Bills were under the considerationl
of Parliament, the Great Western directors felt that they-
could not enter into further negotiations, and. they were
especially anxious to have an inquiry into all the cir-
cumstances. particularly as regarded the alteration
in the proprietary which bad taken place in thil' Bir-
mingham and Oxford Junction Company since the
30th of October ; and they were advised that the 'best
II tribunal was a Committee of the House of Lords, Where.
the parties could be *,..xamined on oath, which they could
not be before the House of Commons.—(oh, oh.): The
directors of the Great Western Company' had'-acted
throughout without any desire of concealing anything,

negotiations which in no respect differed from those

Mated that Mr. Russell had been preps red, if he had
been met in, the spirit he had expected, to go into other
questions, and that it was not he (Mr. Saunders) that
suggested that the directors should proceed as before
pending the suit ; but Mr. Crossthwaite said he believed
that the suggestion was made while Mr. Mozley was ab-
sent consulting the solicitor.
Mr. MOZLEY said, that the diff'rence that had arisen
showed how very soon circumstances of the kind could be
forgotten ; but he could appeal to Messrs. Hornby and
Beale, whether Mr. Saunders did not make the observa-
tion, and he could also appeal to Messrs. Carter and
Dobie, that he had told them of it, when he first went
out.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HORNBY, having been appealed to, was decidedly
at....apiniciD, _Ufa_ the observatfoia -had 'wise from Mr.
Saunders.—( /fear.) ..
,lii. .
Mr. BEALE recollected :Very what the directors
were to be allowed to proceed, but could not recollect
from whom the suggestion came, and be had himself told
Mr. Muntz. the chairman, that if that proposition were
assented to their property would be wasted during the
inquiry. Mr. Muntz agreed with him, and proposed to
stay the works, but his proposal was negatived.
Mr. CARTER could bear his testimony that on Mr.
Mozley first telling him of the proposal for a friendly
suit he had asked the question, what was to be done in
the mean time ? and that he at once said, why the
directors are to go on as usual.
Mr. SAUNDERS again declared, on his honour, the
proposition had not come from him, but from Mr. Cross-
thwaite.

Mr. HORNBY—But you seconded it.—(" Hear, hear,"
oh, oh," and hisses.)
Mr. MOZLET would make a few observations in reply
t., what bad been stated. He admitted, as the chairman
had told them, that when the proposition was first made to
them, ad captandum, it did appear fair, but he believed
that he had arrived at years of discretion, and that on
consideration he should have seen its real nature, as did
the solicitors the moment it was suggested to them.
With regard to having the solicitors at his elbow,
chat he denied ' - but it did so happen that Mr. Swift
being absent, he did want some advice, and Great
George street not being far from Old Palace-yard, he
went over to Mr. Carter's, not being able to find Mr.
Dobie. Mr. Carter, it appeared, was out with Mr. Dobie
and Mr. Beale, and on their coming in and hearing that
he had been to the office, they came over to that house,
And glad he was they did, as they at once saw the de-
lusive nature of the proposition. With regard to what
Mr. Saunders had said about being able to be examined
before a Committee of the House of Lords on oath,
though they did not come there to talk of integrity or
character, he might be allowed to say that the gentlemen
whom it would have been necessary to examine, relative
to the proceedings alluded to, were of as high character
as any among the direction, and he should be ashamed
,if the man who would not tell the truth equally as well
without an oath as with it ; and though concealment,
except under oath, might be a piece of Great Westein
teorality, it was not of his or those who acted with him.
—(Cheers.) With regard to the threat of a broad gauge
line from Lancashire, he believed the wish was father to
the thought; for, having exhausted their own pre-
serves, they were desirous of trespassing on those of
the narrow gauge, which they could never succeed
in doing until they had completely beaten the
Oxford and Birmingham shareholders, who were deter-
mined to have their rights and construct the line on the
narrow gauge, as provided by their Bill, the Great
Western Company having a right of way over it.—
(Hear.) Had their propositions, relative to the direc-
tion, been assented to, it was their resolve, no matter at
what cost, not to allow another brick to be laid, or any
,they works of any description, until the question of the
gality of the sale to the Great Western Company had
been settled.
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which he de-
Jared carried ; Mr. Stevelis protesting.
Mr. MozLEY then moved a resolution, recommending
he shareholders not to pay the last call that had been
'lade, as the majority of the board of directors were
,nuking a use of the funds of the company not warranted
rq. their Act of incorporation. He said. that it was un-
paralleled th:it 150,000/. had been calied for within so
,hors a period, and scarcely a spade put in the ground.
,fe also complained th•it the line was being made on the
road gauge, in contravention of the Act of Parliament.
The CHAIRMAN was not aware that the line was being
nude on the broad gauge.
Mr. MARRIOTT asked whether it was a fact that the
viaducts, bridges, &c., were being made for a broad
.auge line ?
The CHAIRMAN said, that the proper person to answer
hat question was the engineer, and he was not present.
(" Hear" and hisses.) The resolution was so clearly not
within the purposes of the requisition that he must de-
to put it.—(Hisses.)
Mr. MOZLEY must then put it himself.
The CHAIRMAN must protest against such a pro-
'needing.

Mr.-Mozsacr then put the resolution, which was
carried. The Hon. Proprietor then moved that the
lirectors be instructed not to apply the funds of the
•onspany in liquidation of the costs of the bill for tonal-
4ating with the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and
thidley Company, and selling the line to the Great
Western Company, which was not submitted to the
1 .hareholders of the company in compliance with the
.tending orders, or for prosecuting petitions in Perlis
went against the wishes of the shareholders.
Mr. TURNER seconded the resolution.

Still they proceeded; but they did not lay the Bill before

house of Lords, as they were bound to do, the House of
Lords having declared that it was their Bill, although
