NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS.
The Committee of Management have been for a considerable time
past in negotiation with the London and South-Western Railway
Company, and have been occupied in getting in all the outstanding

rally expres-ed wishes of the Shareholders not to proceed further
with the undertaking, but to receive back their deposits, less the
expenses incurred ; and they have to announce, as the result of
their negotiations, that they are now enabled to fix the sum to be
returned to the Scripholders at 38s. per Share. No public meeting. for
the dissolution of the Company under the recent Act of l'arliaulent
can be called earlier than the month of February next. The Com-
mittee, however, being unwilling to delay the distribution of the
thuds iu their hands, acquaint the Scripholders that, on sending in
their Scrip to the office of the Company, 64, Moorgate-street, accom-
panied by a letter in the form subjoined, they will receive orders on
the Bankers of the Company for the respective amounts nternable
to them, as soon as possible after the examination of the Scrip has
been completed
