THE CORNWALL AND DEVON
CENTRAL RAILWAY.
A public meeting of the shareholders in this project was
yesterday convened at the London Tavern. The meeting was
advertised to take place at twelve o'clock, but at that hour
there were no more than four persons present. In about
half an hour after that time,
Mr. CLIPPERTON, the solicitor for the shareholders calling
the meeting, addressed the gentlemen present. He begged
to inform them that the meeting was called for the purpose
of allowing those, who wished to withdraw from the further
prosecution of the scheme, to come to resolutions to that
effect. He trusted that none but scripholders would be pre-
sent, and he very much regretted the thin attendance, but he
had hopes that by waiting till one o'clock many more would
arrive. He had to request that gentlerhen should either
produce their scrip, or give their names, in order to make
the meeting a bond fide affair.
A SIIARKHOLDER—I must object to giving names. I have
scrip which will prove me the representative of one thousand
shares, but there will be many here in a short time who may
not bring sueh proofs, and it would be too bad to parade
their names before the public, and on the other hand it would
be unjust to exclude them.
Mr. Ciamirron—Well, let us wait till one o'clock.
A SmanmonnEn—There is to be a meeting on the 30th
which is to be convened by the directors of the Company.
That meeting, I understand, is the legal one. I have great
confidence in the character of the gentlemen at the head of
the Company.
Mr. CLIPPERTON—I should be the last person to throw a
shadow of a doubt upon your opinion of those gentlemen,
for no one will say that they are not highly honourable. If
we do nothing else, it must be clear that the steps we. have
taken brought the directors to call a meeting for ,the BOth
inst., at which period we shall learn what steps are to be
taken by those gentlemen.
Mr. BOYD—I am a shareholder, and I can inform the
meeting that the directors will recommend the scheme to be
kept on for another session of Parliament. They will, I un•
derstand, return you 11. per share, and the remaining sum
of money is to go towards paying the expenses.
After some desultory conversation, it was proposed that the
chair should be taken.
Mr. Bon), having been called to the chair, said he could
only inform the meeting that he was entirely opposed to
what he understood to be the intentions of the directors re-
garding the intention of going on with the project. He
was certain that they had entered into an agreement with the
South Western Company, and that would make it very .diffi-
cult for them to dissolve the company with advantage to the
shareholders. The agreement recommended certain amalga-
mations with that company, which could never have a bene-
fiebl result. After some further observations to the same
effect,

A gIIAREHOLDER said that he could not look upon the
meeting in any other light than that of a most irregular ore
He was favourable to the dissolution of the company, but he
would not sanction anything like a censure of the conduct .of
the directors, who were highly honourable men, and who
would, no doubt, lay such statements. before the meeting on
the 30th as would explain the whole affair.
Mr. OSBORNE said he attended this meeting to represent
the interest of a large body of shareholders at Exeter, and
he was of opinion that it would be better to wait till the
regular meeting before anything like censure should be
passed upon the conduct of men known to be highly re-
spectable. He would move that the meeting should be ad-
journed to a future day.

A SHARETIOLDER—Y have great faith in the directors, and
although I am in favour of winding up the affairs of the
company, still I am willing to give any shareholder present
thirty shillings a share for every share he wishes to dispose
of.—(Cheers.)
After some further conversation of a most uninteresting
nature, it was carried, ;am. con., that the meeting should be
adjourned till the 30th inst.
