ONDON and SOUTH ESSEX RAILWAY.
, The Directors of this Company take the earliest opportunity
of informing those Subscribers who have this day recorded their
votes as approving the Bill, and such other Scripholders as may
continue to agree with them in the opinion of the project, is one of
perfect soundness. And that if carried out it will prove highly be-
neficial to the Shareholders.

That the Directors are determined to persevere in the prosecution
of the undertaking, and that a statement will in a few days be pub-
lished of the mode in which they propose to proceed. Of course it is
not intended that any expense of such proceeding should be imposed
upon any of the present Shareholders who may decline to concur
with the Directors in the view they take.
At the Meeting held this day, the amount of scrip produced against
the Bill scarcely exceeded one•sixth of the capital, The numbers of
scrip produced were, 4,258 for, and 3,136 against, the assents being
less than the amount required by the new orders by 176 shares only.
By order,
JOHN F. KENNELL, Secretary.
