STAFFORDSHIRE AND SHROP

SHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.

An adjourned meeting of the shareholders of this Com-
pany took place yesterday, at the Offices of the Company,
Abingdon-street, to consider the best means of winding up
the affairs of the Company.
At one o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Brainton.
It appeared from the statements made at the meeting, that a
great deal of disreputable conduct had taken place in the ma•
nagement of the affairs of the company. A number of part ies had
been elected on the committee of management to vote sums
of money for the purposes of the Company, who never held a
single share; and it also appeared that cheques had been
issued to the officers of the Company to the amount of
2,500/. for the purchase of shares, or, as it is termed, " rig-
ging the market." It was alleged that a sum of 300/. had
been received by Mr. Kemp, the former chairman of the Com-
pany, for which he had never accounted, and when asked for
an explanation, he only wrote a letter to Mr. Brainton, saying
he was going to Paris. It also appeared that the sum of
noney paid up in the way of deposit was 17,030/., of which
3nly 8 000/ remained, while that sum was liable to some
erious

Mr. TEMPLE, Q.C., explained that he was not aware when
he was on the committee of management that the cheques
were for the purpose of purchasing shares.
Much disapprobation having been expressed by the it:art-
haters, a resolution appointing a committee of itivesligatior
into the accounts, and ascertaining the liabilities of the
Company, was app Hinted, and the meeting dissolved.
