NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN
RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of shareholders in this company was held
to-day. at the London Tavern, for the purpose of con-
sidering the conduct of the directors, and adopting the
means wreessary to protect their interests.
Mr. CONQUEST, who was called to the chair, said that,
like themselves, he was an unfortunate shareholder. He
had purchased shares, not certainly with a view of re-
taining, but before :obtaining them three months had
elapsed, and he could not sell them.—(bear, hear.)
He took upon himself to write to Enniskillen, to procure
some information with reference to this line, and from
the answers be had received it appeared that there was
not a single shareholder in Enniskillen, though the line
was from Newry to Enniskillen.—(Hear.) He had also
received informaticn to the effect that the line would
never be made.—(Hear.) He called on Mr. Speck-
man to take the steps which would be necessary to pro-
tect themselves in the matter, and he was glad to be able
to state, that that gentleman's efforts had been in part
successful. He was very well satisfied with the conduct
of the gentlemen at Blackburn.—(Hear.) A meeting
of the shareholders had also been held at Liverpool, on
the 28th instant. A report of the proceedings was in
Mr. Spackman's possession, and would be submitted to
the meeting.
Mr. SPACHNAN read the report in question, which
stated that the meeting was large and respectable, re-
' presenting personally, or by proxy, nearly 6,000 shares.
Resolutions approving the relinquishment of the line
were passed, and much distrust of the directors was ex-
pressed, as well as a determination not to pay any
more calls till the affairs of the company were better
conducted. He then read his own report, which consisted
chiefly of a correspondence that had taken place between
him and the secretary of the company, and from which it
appeared that the directors refused to comply with
a requisition of shareholders to call a general meeting
to be held in London. It further appeared that they
had refused to comply with another requisition, request-
ing the directors to call an extraordinary meeting or the
shareholders for the purpose of considering the measures
to be adopted in the present state of their affairs, and tv
suspend further calls.
Some discussion ensued, after which it was agreed
that a deputation of shareholders should wait on the di-
rectors to endeavour to make arrangements, which Mr.
Spackman stated he believed might now be effected.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, after which the
meeting separated.

The two last announcements were received with great
laughter.

The hall was much more crowded than yesterday.
After the announcement of the state of the poll had been
made, the calls for Alderman Wood resounded from all
parts of the hall. The worthy Alderman, however, gave
way for
Mr. ANDERTON, who wished to explain the reasons
that had induced him to call for a poll on the part of
Alderman Hooper. •
A long and personal discussion then took place, which
ended in
Mr. Alderman WOOD calling upon the Livery to use
all their exertions in his behalf, and the hall was then
adjourned till to-morrow morning, at nine o'clock.
