shortlyy to se object the
which it was convened was to callforThe SECRETARY having read the advertisement calling
he meeting,
pro-
prietors, the object for which they hadbeen called together.
He regretted that the proprietors had bden put to the incon-
venTihenecCellArof attending
upon them to give their
sanction to measures to which they had already yielded their
hearty assent no less than three times. The new standing
orders of the Houses of Lords and Commons rendered it
necessary, and the directors had considered it their duty to
call the proprietors together again as early as possible.
Before putting the several Bills for the fourth time
for the confirmation of the meeting, he would just observe
that at the last meeting he had stated the reason why the
directors had determined not to establish a terminus in
Farringdon-stieet ; these reason had been verified by what
had since taken place. It had been clearly shown that if
there was to be a station in the City it ought to be a central
station for all railways, and that all ought to be part in the
expense. He believed, however, that so far from
a central station in the City being a benefit to
passengers, that its effect would be highly detri-
mental to them, as it would, in fact, load to the result of
blocking up streets that were already overcrowded; and he
trusted that the Committee that was now sitting upon the
subject would come to the decision that a central terminus
in Farringdon-street would considerably endanger the traffic
of the city ofLondon. As to their proposed connexion with
the East and West India Docks, the directors took as much
interest on that subject as they ever did, and would leave
nothing undone to accomplish so desirable an object.
The CHAIRMAN then went through all the Bills seriatim,
and obtained the assent of the proprietors to them without a
dissentient voice. As to the Bill " for making a railway
from Bliswortb, is the countyof Northampton, to Ashchurch,
in the county of Gloucester, to be called the Northompton,
Banbury, and Cheltenham Railway," it was unnecessary to
ask the assent of the proprietors to that measure, as it had
been defeated upon the standing orders.
The business of the day having been gone through, and
every Act and Bill (rendered necessary by the new standing
orders of the House of Lords and Commons) having been
approved of by the proprietors, thanks were voted to the
chairman and directors, and the meeting separated.
