LONDON AND , YORK RAILWAY,
COMPANY'S OFFICHS, 7, LOTHBURY, LONDON.
NOTIt'E TO THE SHAREHOLDERS.
The London and York Directors deemed it better to delay for a
few days any communication to their shareholders, in order that they
might be able to state the results of the several important negotia-
tions bearing upon their interests, in which they have been and are
a till engaged.
They regret they cannot yet announce the final issue of these ne-
gotiations, but they think it right to explain that the negotiations
with the Eastern Counties Railway base been much embarrassed by
The proceedings of Mr. La Mert and his Size-lane " Private Com-
mittee," which the Directors have reason to believe was got up for
the purpose of serving the Eastern Counties interests, and whose
agitation encourages that Company to offer terms altogether disad-
vantageous to the London and 1 ork shareholders.
The Directors rely upon the support of the Shareholders to enable
them to maintain an independent position in their negotiations, and
would warn them against intrusting Mr. La Mert with authorities
which are now used to their disadvantage in the treaty, and may
hereafter be used to assist the Eastern Counties Company in the Par-
liamentary Committee. The Directors point to the specious lan-
guage used by Mr. La Mert, and his agent, Mr. Henry Phillips, as
though he was acting bona tide with the cognisance of the Directors.
This impression has prevailed extensively, and has misled many of
the Shareholders.
The Directors are not insensible to the effects of the fear of calls,
in the present depressed state of the money-market. But whilst
they deem the Parliamentary position of the London and York Bill
to be such as to give every confidence that it will be passed without
any very protracted contest, they are also able to add, that without
any amalgamation the Directors will have in hand at the end of the
session ample funds to enable them to proceed in the execution of
the Act, without any call before the spring of next year.
The Directors have, however, good grounds for anticipating the
early conclusion of arrangements, which will greatly increase their
resources, whilst it will diminish individual responsibility ; and they
also add their conviction, that when the Eastern Counties Company
find it impossible to compel the acceptance of such disadvantageous
proposals as have hitherto been made, they may he laduced to re-
cognise the formation of the London and York line, and effect arrange-
ments mutually advantageous to both Companies.
Armed with the powers of an Act of Parliament, the Directors
would be able, without sacriti ins the line, or any advantages to the
public, at once to conclude more advantageous arrangements than
at present, and having hitherto been honoured with the fullest confi-
dence of the Shareholders, the Directors trust they do not too much
presume upon it when they venture to assure them that no oppor-
tunity will be lost in advancing and securing their
astern Counties
interests. The
answer of the Directors to the present offer of the E
Company is subjoined.

London and York Railway, Offices, 7, Lothbury,
London, 29th April, 1846.
TO C. P. RONEY, ESC!, SECRETARY OF THE EASTERN COCNTIES

RAILWAY.

Sir,—The Directors of the London and York Railway have had
before them the offer of the Eastern Counties Company, dated the
23d, transmitted in your letter of the same date, received on the
24th instant, containing in substance the following terms :
Ist. The formation of a combined Board, consisting of twelve
Eastern Counties' Directors, and six London and York Directors, who
shall determine which of the lines shall be promoted, aid which
abandoned.

2d. That the London and York Stock of 50/. shall, share for share,
be converted into 151. shares in the Eastern Counties Extensions, on
which 10s. shall be credited-4s. being credited on the existing
Eastern Counties Shares, thus reducing the preference to 65., instead
of 10s.
In reply to which, I am desired to inform you that the Directors
observe—that the Stock offered by the second proposition is precisely
the same as the Eastern Counties Extension Stock, now selling in
the market at about the same price as London and York Shares ;
there is, therefore, no t. niptation in a pecuniary point of view con-
tained in this offer. It the Eastern Counties Company h.l proposed
to give an interest in their existing stock, upon which they are re-
ceiving dividends, the London and York Directors could understand
its pecuniary advantages. But what do tl*y propose to give ? Shares
wholly dependant upon the passing of a 8111 which Parliament is not
likely to sanction in 1546, having rejected it in 1845. What security is
there in this pi °position to the London and York Shareholders? Not
half so much as they now possess in their own shares ; for if Parlia-
ment does not sanction the Cambridge, Extension Lines, the Stock
offered becomes mere waste paper.
The first proposition necessarily involves the abandonment of the
London and York Line. The Eastern Counties Board having so
constantly denounced that line, and having s eadily contended for the
sufficiency of the Cambridge lines, would, withoLt. doubt, by the ma-
jority of twelve to six thus given them, determine to abandon the
first, and prosecute only the latter.
With every desire to meet the Eastern Counties Company, and
concert equitable terms of amalgamation, • the London and York Di-
rectors, cannot regard the proposals now Made, as containing even
any pecuniary inducements to commit the suicidal act of accepting
them.

The offer is, indeed, only a reiteration of that made by Mr. Hudson,
on the 3d December last. It was then accompanied by a threat of
appeal to the Shareholders, against the Directors, should they ven •
lure to refuse it. The Directors did unanimously refuse it—as an-
nounced to Mr. Hudson, by the letter of Mr. Astell, the Chairman,
on the 16th December—and the Shareholders as unanimously ratified
that refusal, by subsequently signing the Partainentary deeds au-
thorizing the present renewed application to Parliament.
The threatened appeal to the Shareholders was not then made;
but it seems that the present stat, of the money market, and the
failure of every other means of opposition, have induced the Eastern
Counties Company now to make the attempt.
The London and York Directors allude to the published correspon-
dence b,tween Mr. Joseph La Men, as Chai, man of a Comm.ttee
advertised to meet in Size-lane, and the Eastern Counties Company:
besides the fact, that Mr. La Mert is not a subscriber to the London
and York deed, but was lately, if not at present, a great holder of
Eastern Counties stock, the Dlrecaws would refer to that correspon-
dence, and ask whether it is probable that any parties honestly de-
siring to serve the London and York Shareholders would, instead of
stating their opinions and feelings confidently to their own Directors,
advertise for• an organised disunion in the Company itself, before
proposing to make terms with Its antagonist.
Tile Directors of the London and York Company would suggest to
the Easteni Counties Board, to consider whether such a course of
Proceeding is 'what ought to be adopted by Directors towards each
other, or is likely to conduce to the good understanding which the
Eastern Counties Company profess to desire.
For the present, they consider the offer mad accompanied by
Such an agency, to be an unworthy mode of attempting to dissolve
the London and York Company, and to deprive the Shareholders of
those advantages which their present position secures to them; and
the Directors have, therefore, no hesitation in rejecting It.
In conclusion, the Directors instruct me to state, that under a
sincere anxiety to promote an amicable understanding between the
two Companies, and to save the expense of a costly contest in Par-
liament, they are quite ready, by a deputation, to discuss the terms
upon which a general amalgamation can hereafter be safely accom-
plished, under the condition that the London and York scheme, in all
Its integrity, ne carried into elect.
I am, Sir, )our obedient, humble servant,
J. It. 3[OWATT, s,ecretary.
