LONDON, FRIBA V EVEN ING, AUGUST 2S, lBi6

solicitors of each company—Mr. Ot,le and Mr. Sutton
—should attend him; accompanied by the engineers, for
that purpose. It is proper to remark here that the line
projected by the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction
Company was intended to pass through the estates of
the Mercers' Company, and that that powerful body

were, therefore, disposed to support them.in Parliament,
and, on the other hand, to afford every practical op-
position to tke proposed line of this company,
which was not so well calculated to benefit their
estates. After a number of successive meetings
Mr. Rastrick, by consent of the parties, selected
the Dublin and B Mast Junction line with certain modi-
fications, availing himself of those features in the
Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush line, which he con-
sidered of great importance to the perfection of the
scheme. The following is an extract from Mr. Ras-
trick's award :

"' Ist. That part of the main line of the Dublir, Bel-
fast, and Coleraine Junction from Portadown to Stewarts-
town to be entirely abandoned.
2d. The branch from Stewartstown to Armagh to
be adopted as a portion of the main line.
":' 3d. The branch from Dungannon, crossing the
main line at Killyman, and going direct to Portadown,
to be substituted instead of the line between Stewarts-
town and Portadown.

" 6 4th. The branch from Castle Dawson, at Randals-

town, as laid down on the plan of the Dublin, Belfast,
and Coleraine Junction Railway to be the line adopted.'"
Upon this award being made an amalgamation of the
two companies took place ; the substance of which was,
that a joint board was to be farmed, consisting of eight
members of each committee; that the funds of the two
companies be placed at the disposal of the united board ;
that the line to be so constructed should be called " The
Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junction ;" that the share
holders should reciprocate equally in the benefits, and
that the expences heretofore incurred, as well as the
future, should be pail out of the joint funds,
and, lastly, that the shareholders of the Armagh,
Coleraine, and Portrush Extension Company
should be admitted shareholders in the united company
upon equal terms as the subscribers to the original
scheme. It may be observed, that the Dublin, Belfast,
and Coleraine Junction shares, which were originally
501. shares, were reduced, under the provisions
of the Act just obtained, to 251. shares, for

the purpose of meeting the convenience of the
shareholders in this Company, whose shares were
only 251., and that a shareholder in the Armagh,
Coleraine, and Portrush Company, and the Armagh,
Coleraine, and Portrush Extension Company, will
therefore be entitled for every share he holds in either
of the above companies to have one in the Dublin, Bel-
fast, and Coleraine Junction Compiny.
" The directors having made these arrangements,
immediately announced by advertisement, for the infor-
mation of the shareholders, that the amalgamation had'
taken place, and they have only waited for the royal
assent beir.g given to the Bill before they called
together the subscribers to submit the particulars
of their proceedings, and, as they hope, to receive
from them their sanction and approval. The directors,
in conclusion, would only remind the shareholders that,
by adopting these measures, they have saved a very
considerable expenditure of money, and secured, by the
co-operation of the two bodies, the safety of a Bill for car-
rying out the project. The object originally contem-
plated has been attained, the opposition which once ex-
isted converted into a friendly alliance, and the interests
of the shareholders preserved and protected to the
utmost."
