RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

WARWICK AND WORCESTER.

A meeting of the contributories in this unfortu-
nate concern was held yesterday in Master
. ' Richards's chambers, Southampton-buildings, to
consider a requisition from Mr. Ernest, the official
manager, for a further call of £1 per share. This
company was formed about 15 years ago, and all its
capital had been dissipated.
Mr. Roxborough attended for the officialmann ger
to represent the necessity for the proposed call to
meet acknowledged and ascertained claims. Mr.
L. Webb, Mr. Sturgeon, and other legal gentlemen
attended on behalf of the contributories to oppose
the call ;• and Mr. Phillips appeared for Mr.
Prichard, engineer, one of the largest creditors.
Mr. Roxbqrough explained the. position of the
company with reference to the creditors. The claim
of Mr. Prichard, engineer, was originally £7,459,
which was reduced to £2,300. The claim of Messrs.
Wright and Hanbury for £1,433 had been resisted
by the official manager, and was reduced to £3,133.
There were some other claims of smaller amounts.
Altogether the claims to be peremptorily satisfied
exceeded £9,000, which could only be done by a
call, unless there wore sufficient assets in hand.
The only assets consisted of, £492 in the Bank.of
England, and £l,OOO to betaken out of court in
the estate of Goodman and De Beaver-01492 in
all. In addition to this there was a claim for £2OO
' against the London and Birmingham Extension
Company, for which a suit was now pending. There
were proceedings instituted against the company by
two persons named Cole and Gannon.
Mr. Ernest, the official manager, was then exa-
mined. He said , the winding-up commenced in
1849. The deposits paid on shares taken amounted
to £41,000. With respect to a cheque for
*X14,000 which had been signed by Sir John de
Beaver, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Edmund,
and other directors, he had made inquiry at the
bank, but had not been able to ascertain who
had taken out the money or what had become of it.
There seemed to have been no minutes kept
by the finance committee. He could throw no
more light upon another cheque for £1,900. With
the exception of one, he did not believe that a six-
:Pence could be recovered from the directors who
had signed these two cheques. No proceedings had
been taken against any of the directors. After re-
ferring to various suits in which the company had
been engaged, he stated that there was. a suns of
£1,300 due from persons who, he believed, were
men of straw. For his own services he had already
received £6BO and his solicitors £2,600.

In answer to a question from Mr. D, W. Harvey,
Mr. Ernest admitted that some years ago a hope
was held out to those who signed the deed that a
portion of their money would be returned to them.
Mr. HARVEY said his distinct recollection was,
that 15s. in the pound was to be the minimum of
the money returned. He was astonished at being
asked now to pay a call of £1 per share, which
might not be the last. He objected to the making
of the call until the contributories had an opportu-
nity, at a meeting of their own, of thoroughly in-
vestigating the financial affairs of the company, and
especially of ascertaining whether something could'
not be made of the directors and of the depositors,
who were defaulters to the amount of £4,300. In
the list of these defaulters he noticed that there
were 200 names against which were placed the
words "not found." From his own official expe-
rience he could say that it was no easy matter for
persons to get completely out of the way if they
were properly looked after. Under all the circum-
stances, he suggested that the meeting should be
adjourned to give the contributories an opportunity
of holding a meeting to investigate the accounts,
&c. This recommendation was received with gene-
ral approbation.
Mr. PHILLIPS and Mr. ROXBOROUGII resisted
the adjournment.
The MASTED said the request that had been made
to him was a very reasonable one, and he would
adjourn the meeting for a month.
