OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND
WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY.

(Continued from our Third Edition of last night.)
After some further conversation of a desultory nature,
The question of the adoption of the rep )rt was then
put and carried by a large majority.
Captain BULKELEY demanded a poll, but ultimately
withdrew his demand, and entered a protest against
the arrangement with the North-Western Company as il-
legal.
The forfeiture of 1,494 shares was then confirmed. Major
Tyndale and Mr. • Je.ssel were re-elected d rectors, and Mr.
Tamlyn an auditor of the company.
Mr. Alderman Tllomrsox moved the following resolu-
tion :

" That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is most essen-
tial at this particular juncture, for the due protection of the
interests and independence of this company, that measures
should be forthvilth take.n to secure ten directors to represent
the shareholders. of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Company proper, and who may have time and
health to apply themselves to the business of the com-
pany."
Mr. CAPEL seconded the motion, and it was carried unani-
mously.
Mr. Alderman yit9eirsoN moved a vote of thanks to the
chairman, which was carried with acclamation ; and
His Lc:liftman-having acknowledged the compliment pro-
ceeded to take leave-, of the company, and concluded by read-
ing a letter from Mr. Brunel, the engineer, requesting to
know what his futurd position with reference to the company
should be; and whether he were to continue to remain their
engineer.
It was resolved that prompt attention should be paid to
the subject of the letter, and the meeting separated.

EASTERN COUNTIES.
Yesterday the shareholders assembled at the London
Tavern, to receive the result of the poll on the question of
adjournment. Shortly after 4 o'clock, the time appointed,
Mr. Glynn, the deputy-chairman, took the chair.
Mr. Box, one of the scrutineers, handed in the result of
the scrutiny.
The CHAiamAN said that before he proceeded to read
the document whichliad been handed to him he wished to
inform the meeting that there were two gentlemen present
who were desirous„ of entering into some explanation- .
namely, Mr. Maynard, the solicitor to the company, and
Mr. Geach, who demanded the poll; and after hearing their
statements and the result of the poll the whole of the busi-
ness for that day would be concluded. He wished to add,
that none of the Nexies in the hands of the directors were
used on this occasion.—( Hear, hear.) A legal objection had
been taken to some of the proxies, which could he explained
by the solicitor. Hocould state that if the directors had
chosen to use the proxies placed in their hands they would
have carried the day,
Mr. MAyNann bong called upon to explain how the
proxies stood, said the directors were of opinion that the
proxies in their hands, should not be used on that occasion.
There was no connexion between the proxies he now alluded
to and those in theli hands to be used at the special meet-
ing. They were quite distinct, and of course the proxies for
the special meeting conic' not be used at the ordinary gene-
ral meeting. A large number of proxies were given to Mr.
Geach; there were 'stlsoi proxies sent to the chairman, and
also to Mr. Ellis, a inentber of the board. Objections were
made to a large nunAeg,of the proxies on technical grounds,
which, if sustained; would have caused their rejection. The
opinion of counsel ifid been taken as to the great bulk of
these proxies, and it was held that they could not be re-
jected. It appeared the objections taken rested upon the
fact that a great number of the shareholders who gave the
proxies had neglected to put their residences in addition to
their names on them. There were objections to others which
could not hold, and it was found that none of the objections
could be sustained to any extent.
Mr. GEACH thought it right to state that he had not used
the proxies in his possession, although, if used. they would
have reversed the present state of the poll. The question of
adjournment was put to the meeting the day before, and the
chairman declared, on a show of hands, that the motion was
negatived ; a poll was then demanded and subsequently with-
drawn, afterwards another motion to the same effect was put
and declared to be carried. In consequence of this he (Mr.
,
Geach) demanded a poll, but when he went into the room
where the votes were being recorded, he found that the large
shareholders were taking a different course to that adopted
by himself; and as this was a matter of opinion rather than
of judgment, he did not like to put himself in opposition to
the shareholders at large; and he, therefore, made up his
mind not to vote on the question. In order to maintain this
position he bad fortified himself with legal opinions, showing
that he had the power in his hands to have altered the posi-
tion of the votes of the meeting..—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN then read the result of the poll, from
which it appeared there were in favour of the motion for ad-
journment 173 persons, holding 432,590/. of stock, represent-
ing 6,078 votes. The number of persons against the motion
was 83, holding 201,2301. of stock, representing 2,802 votes.
There was a majority, therefore, of 9') persons,
.231,360/. of
stook, and 3,%76 votes. The Chairman then said it was his
duty to declare that the meeting stood adjourned to the
18th of March next.
The shareholders then separated.
