The directors of the North British Railway Com-
Play have issued a statement to their shareholders
with regard to the Joint Purse Agreement with the
Caledonian Company. They charge the Caledonian
Company with not having fairly carried it out, and
with having combined with the North-Western
CemPally to injure the North British. Under the
circumstances, as the Caledonian Company have
declared the agreement to be illegal, and " while
declining to be bound by its provisions have appro-
pri (ted to themselves its principal benefits," the
directors of the North British advise their share-
holders do adhere to it no longer, but to take such
steps as counsel may advise to recover from the
Caledonian Company the " just proportion of the
Joint traffic receipts falling to the North British
Corapany for the year to the 31st of January,
Meanwhile, they will not eater into com-
petition by adopting unreinunerative fares, but
will seek on equal terms to secure their proportion
of traffic.
