the law gave the scripholders a right to recover their,full
Orttton deposits. He now left the matter in their hands, and
would conclude by advising them to follow up the pre-
seat meeting with such measures as would recover the
money of the shareholders with whom faith had thus
been broken.
A SHAREHOLDER hoped that some of the gentlemen
present who knew the affairs of the company would
answer what had been stated by Mr. Clark. Perhaps
Dr. Mackenzie or Mr. Matthew, who were both present,
would do so.
Mr. MATTHEW said he was at present Chairman of
the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junc-
tion, and he had only been called on to be so since the
amalgamation. The line proposed now to go on with
- was much required by the district through which it would
,„ pass. The inhabitants were generally in its favour, and
Lords Hathertonjfrand Anglesey were its warm
supporters. What had been done was for the bene-
_ fit of the shareholders. The directors had no
- object in view but the good of all, in fact,
• the carrying out of the scheme was the only way
of getting out of the wood. He had no doubt, were the
. Bill obtained, but that good terms would be obtained
from some of the existing companies, as it formed a
junction with both the North and South Staffordshire
;% lines. The Hon. Gentleman, after explaining the pro-
ceedings of last session in regard to the line, said that
sufficient arrangements had been made in regard to de-
posits to go to Parliament, without calling on the share-
holders, and they had every prospect of obtaining the
Bill.

Mr. CLARK was glad to hear that the affairs of the
ice. company were so promising. In that case, perhaps, the
directors would be in a position to pay back the deposits
to those that did agree to the amalgamation.
Mr. MATTHEW said what had been done was under
33( the deeds of settlement of the two companies, and such
ill a return could not be made.
Mr. BROWN intimated that he held 1,000 shares, and
he thought the proposed line an excellent scheme. If
the Bill was obtained he would be glad to buy 1,000
• shares more at par, as the line would have to fall into
the hand of some of the great companies.
1 Dr. MACKENZIE explained at some length the cha-
racter and route of the line now laid out by Mr. Ras-
% trick. It had been much improved in its engineering
1 peculiarities since last year. It started from the North
Staffordshire line at the Uttoxeter station, and terminated
at the Walsall station of the South Staffordshire.
u Mr. CLARK thought if the directors meant well they
ought to publish a statement of their accounts.
In answer to a question put by Mr. Brown,
Dr. MACKENZIE complained that there was no oppo-
sition last year in the Lords, but they had strong oppo-
i% sition in the Commons from the Birmingham Canal
es' Company and Lord Anglesey. This opposition would
be withdrawn this year. The line was locally very pow-
erfully supported.
% After some further discussion, a resolution was una-
nimously agreed to, appointing a committee of five
shareholders to communicate with the directors, so as
to obtain all necessary information respecting the affairs
of the companies, such to be submitted afterwards to
the shareholders, in order that they might determine
ice. 1 what course to pursue.
The meeting then broke up.
