REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS.
The Bill introduced by the Government for facilitating the
dubs-
hltiou of Railway Companies having passed the Legislature, the Cosn-
- Rlittee have called the present meeting of the Shareholders inenider
xo submit to them the question of proceeding with or discontinuing
This Undertaking.
In doing so, they wish to lay before the Shareholders a statement
• Or the actual position and prospects of the Company as affected by
the recent. roceedings in Parliament. •
The principle of an independent central line from London by the
'London and South Western Railway, through Salisbury, Yeovil, and
ixeter, to Falmouth, has received the Wiest recognition from' kith
ranches of the Legislature. It is true that the bills bctween
Ralisbery and Yeovil have been postponed until next session by the
VoMmittee of the House of Lords, chiefly on account of their pp-
iaed interference st ith the property of au influential nobleman, but
This postponement has been accompanied not only by the sanction
tttf the line between Basingstoke and Salisbury, but by such an ex-
heft declaration in favour of a central line front Salisbury through
even to Exeter, as must insure the success in a future session o. an
*PPlication for the latter line.
As regards the scheme between Yeovil and Exeter, the Share-
-seilders may be reminded that their was a competing line promoted
by the Great Western Railway Company, arid that it was rejected
"her a nest protracted and severe contest by the Cointnittee of the
ilouse of Commons, which sanctioned the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor-
chester
Notwithstanding the disadvantage under which the Central Corb-
Company laboured front being unable to present their project its
a tqlbstantial scheme before the Committee which sat on the Coast
Cornwall and West Cornwall lints, the merits of a central commu-
nication are so fully established, that these lines were only sanctioned
Under conditions which virtually ensure the success of a Central
Cornwall and Devon Railway, if brought forward next session. •
The Committee of the House of Commons on the Cornwall Bill
amended its Preamble by striking out so much as related to the
traneh to Launceston, and reported to the House that they had
doee so because they thought it expedient to leave open the whole
guestion of any central communication through the county of Corn-
• Wall for further consideration.
The Lords' Committee on the same Bill also adopted a similar re-
*Caution.
In addition to this the Committees on botk these Bills stipulated,
by the insertion of clauses, that the narrow gauge should be laid
down, under the direction of the Board of Trade, upon the lines
they sanctioned between Truro and Falmouth and Truro and Pen-
- tt:e, in order to effect a junction at Truro with the narrow gauge
1r brought through the centre of the county.
Further, the Committee in the Commons rejected the South
theJ` r Extension Bill from Plymouth to Tavistock, on the opposition
eerier Extension
upon the ground that the passing of that Bill might in-
e
with the future central communication.
t, `4r• the whole, therefore, it is apparent, from the result of the pro-
„itslings which have taken place in Parliament during the present
%salon, that the success of a Central Cornwall and Devon Railway
ltext session, in conjunction with an extension of the London and
South-Western Railway from Salisbury to Exeter is nearly certain.
This being so, the question which this Committee have had to
consider is this :—Whether it is desirable for the interests of the
!!ilitreholdersi under these circumstances that this Company should
'4"W be dissolved.
After careful consideration, they have arrrivedunanimou,ly at the
monclusion, that the interests of the shareholders will be best con-
sulted by keeping the Company together. Your Committee are
satisfied that this will be the best course for. the pecuniary interests
clthe Shareholders, which must, of course, be their principal object :
411,1 when they consider the character of the scheme, the importance
"'the great trunk line of communication with the west of England,
1111e1 the assured support of .the South-Western Company, they feel
that it would be highly unadvisable to do anything prejudicial to the
60t14 which has been obtained.
l'he agreement with the South-Western Company was framed so
• to endure for two sessions, and there can be no better proof of the
'coltidence felt by the Directors of that Company in the uliimute sue.
ecss Of your undertaking than is afforded by the known disposition
~01 that board, to reccommend to their proprietors to incre4se by a
Quarter of a million the present subscription (of 750,0001.) for pro-
: s7-..eter,2ting, in a future session, the formation of such lines west of
as (including all the main features of your eiderprise), shall.
.711 full consideration of the subject with reference to the events of the
'resent session, be thought the most desirable and comprehensive.
tThe confidence of the counties of Cornwall and Devon in the MU-
ate succeseof the substantial features of the scheme they trove so
advanced and their determination to continue their support to a

'eLltral Cornwall and Devon Railway,4a.
der these circumstances, this Commitsnteetinuehave no hesitation in
C'un on ilending toe Shareholders nut at present to dissolve the
'lo4)any,
" this recommendation should be adopted, It will,. of course, be

more fully and completely all that has been sought in Inc present

meeting, or to make the suhject of a future report, (and your Di-
teetOrg will not be hasty in finally deciding upon questions in int-
bort:ince to your imereql without acquainting you); but the Mud-
ress of the present meeting beng simply to affirm or. deny .the pro-
tir etY of a dissolution of the Company, your Directors .gill not an-
se:Pate 'matters which neither you nor they could now satisfacto-

company should by no me ins at the ,present moment be dissolved.
