OC °MOTIVE STEAM-CARRIAGE
COMPANY
FOR PASSENGERS AND PARCELS ON TURNPIKE-ROADS.
At a preliminary Meeting, held at the offices of Mr. H. English, 25,
Fleet-street, it was resolved—
That a Company be formed, with a capital of 200,0001., divided into
20,000 shares, et'lo/. each.
That, in the first instance, the call be limited to Is. per share, as
required by the Joint-Stock Companies Registration Act, and that
the subscribers be not held responsible beyond the mment of such
sum, which, it is assumed, will be amply sufficient for the purpose
of obtalning the most conclusive evidence of the practicability of
adopting steam-carriages on common roads.
That no shareholder be called upon to pay any sum whatever until
a general meeting be held, when the views and reports of the projec-
tors will be laid before the meeting, and when they will have the op-
portunity of withdrawing from the Company, or paying the instal-
ment, as before provided.
A Provisional Committee is appointed, who will convene a meeting
of the Shareholders on the whole of the Shares being subscribed for,
when the call of Is. per share will be required.
No expenses will be incurred beyond those absolutely necessary
for determining the practicability of the object, and every informa-
tion will be afforded on application at the offices of the Honorary Se-
cretary. -
Application for shares, on the above terms—no sum being requited
until the whole of the shares are subscribed for, and then only Is. per
share, with an undertaking that no further liability is ineurrefi
without the assent of the subscribing party—to be addressed to the
Honorary Secretary, Mr. H. English; or to the Solicitor, Mr. F:
Herbert.

One-third of the shares being already subscribed for, no applica-
tions can be receiTed after Saturday, th e 30th instant.
