The Committees for promoting the Great Northern Railway
hereby give notice, that in consequence of the numerous applica-
tions for shares, it is their intention to apply to Parliament early in
the next -session for an act to enable them to carry into effect the
above undertaking, in which act will be introduced a clauseempow-
ering the directors to pay a dividend to the shareholders, not ex-
ceeding 51. per cent., per annum, out of the proceeds of such por-
tions of not less than 30 miles of the line as may be finished prior
to the completion of the whple undertaking.
The Committees have satisfaction in stating that up to the pre-
sent time they have not had intimation of any opposition from the
landed proprietors or others interested on the line, and they have
every confidence that the Act will be obtained at a comparatively
small expense.
The most rigid inquiry has been adopted in selecting the best line
for the undertaing, and the result proves that the one decided
upon is superior to any other in uniformity of levels, as well as being
the shortest and most economical, both in the construction and sub-
sequent working.

At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE at NORWICH, held
h sth Oesber, 1815, at the Guildhall, in that City.
CHARLES TURNER, Esq., Deputy Mayor, in the Chair,
IT WAS RESOLVED—

That this Committee is more than ever impressed with the ad-
vantage of a Railway Communication between this City and Lon-
don, and having considered the surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, is of
opinion that the line proposed by him will be shorter, less costly
to construct and work, and less likely to encounter opposition in
Parliament than any other line yet proposed.
That this Committee will, by every means in its power, pro-
mote the object, and invite the united assistance of every interest
connected with the county of Norfolk and the city of Norwich, to
forward the same.

(Signed)

CHARLES TURNER, Chairman.
