LEICESTER AND BEDFORD RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management have great pleasure in re-
ferring the Shareholders to the Report of the Committee of the House
of Commons. unanimously deciding that the preamble of the Leices-
ter and Bedford Railway Bill has been satisfactorily established
before them.
The Committee of the House of Commons arrived at this unani-
Mous decision after an investigation of nearly three weeks, during
which period every effort was made by the Midland Company to
procure the rejection of the Leicester and Bedford in favour of their
own scheme—the South Midland.

The very strenuous and protracted endeavours of the Midland
Company to obtain a line of railway over the same ground as that
occupied by the Leicester and Bedford Company, afford most satis-
factory proof of the commercial importance of the line, and its value
as a p'rmanent investment to the Shareholders.
The Committee of Management have also the pleasure to inform
the Shareholders, that they are in a position to comply with the
Standing Orders of the House of Lords requiring a deposit of 101. per
cent., without making any further call upon the Shareholders.
The Committee of Management beg to call the attention of the
Scripholders to the subjoined notice of the meeting to be held on the
10th of June next, in compliance with the Sessional Orders.
