The SECIdiARY then read's, long•letter'from the South-' '
Western diirectcirs to the Brighton, offering to refev,the dif. f 2itt
ferences. between the two companies, to artitration, or to
enter into 'an arrangement' tO equal 'rate's where' the
two lines competed. (Hear; hear.) . ; . • -
The CHAIRMAN said ,the uns7o7/ to that vas,a refusal,
and 'so the matter remained. ;The shareholders would no
doubt expect to hear a few words from him With reapect to
the docisio4 of the Lord Chancellor gi-xen a.altert, time;ago.
The decision had taken the,.board of -the' South Western
by surprise, as well as the Brighton. We expected a deci-
sion in. our, +favour and the 'Brighton d ' expected a ecision in
their favour, or entirely against them., The legal advisers
of the SontfrWestern were of ()Pinion that the decision was
bad -in la*---(laughter)—and the, company had entered
an appeal against it. (Hear, hear.) As the decision at
present stood, it did not entirely exclude them from the
station; but only until the directors got the bill 'he was
that day urging them to approve of and push forward. ' It
would be satisfactory for the shareholders to know that the
quarrel 'had not inflicted that mischief that had been anti-
cipated. The board of the South-Western had always been
for peace and harmony, and to obtain that they had made
many concessions. They had given up much, bit by bit,
but now the directors were determined to make a stand.
The hontentleman resumed his seat by advising the share-
holders to approve of the bill. . .
The bill for the amalgamation of the 'Portsmouth Rail.
way with the South-Western having been read,
Mr. TITE said he understood that the present WM
called a " Wharncliffe" meeting, to see wlether the coin-
pany would would proceed further with this bill. (Hear,
hear.) With respect to what had been said about arbitra-
tion, the only arbitration he was favourable to was one to
see how best the two companies, the South-Western and
Brighton, could be made one. iVith respect to the Ports-
niouth line, he thought it was a bad one, and ought never
to have been made, but in the event of the Chairman's pro-
position being agreed to he thought the shareholders ought
to have some guarantee that the bargain with the Ports-
.mouth line should be carried, out at the price it at pre-
sent stood, in order that tiresome discussions should effec-
tually be put an end to. (Hear.) . • . •
A SHAREHOLDER was of opinion that the directors had
not acted in a fair and open manner to the sharehelders,
and said he should move a vote of censure on them.
(Laughter, and cries of " no, no.")
The CHAIRMAN said the hon. shareholder was out of
order' but he could hand in his resolution, and give notice
that he would move it at the next general meeting.
[The shareholder then handed in his resolution.] He
begged now to move that the meeting approve of the bill
now before Parliament for the amalgamation of the Porte.
mouth Railway with the South-Western Railway. •
Count EYRE seconded the proposition.

After a discussion in :which Mr. Herapath, Sergeant
Gazelee, and several gentlemen took part. •
The CHAIRMAN said he hoped Mr. Tite would leave the
subject he mooted, with respect to the agreement With the
Portsmouth line, to the directors.
Mr. TITE said if the board only intended to give £lB,OOO
a year to the Portsmouth Railway, and they stood firm,
£lB,OOO would be all they would have to give. '
The CHAIRMAN put the resolution for amalgamation to
the meeting, and declared it carried.
The meeting was then adjourned until the 14th of July,
for the purpose of considering the other bills at present be-
fore Parliament. A
vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.
