ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The object of this undertaking is to provide means of trans-
port at the terminal and intermediate stations along the lines
of the Indian railways and steamers, similar to the establish-
ments of Messrs. Pickford and Co. and others engaged in,
connection with the various lines of rail Ways in Great Bri-
tain, collecting for despatch by rail, and distributing on its
arrival the enormous amount of merchandise and produce
conveyed upon these lines, for which the existing primitive
native means of conveyance bybullock hackery are totally in •
adequate, and the native carriers possessing neither the capi-
tal, skill, nor enterprise required to organise the system
necessary for the purpose.
Messrs. Picktord and Co. have liberally placed at the
Board's disposal all the valuable information which their
long and successful experience enables them to supply, and
have otherwise rendered to the Company and promised to
continue all the assistance in their power.
Estimates, carefully prepared, based on a comparison of
the outgoings and returns of similar establishments in Eng-
land, with the present Indian rates, after making due allow-
ance for the additional expense of European superintendence
and improved stock, and liberal deductions on account of de-
preciation and renewals, show a profit fully equal to 25 per
cent. upon the capital employed. These estimates have been
made upon the safe principle of calculating the expenditure
in excess of what is anticipated, and the returns at the lowest
existing scale of charges ; and they are based upon the as-
sumption that only about 104,000 tons are carried annually
by the Company at all their stations, while the export trade
of Calcutta alone, for one year, exceeded 725,000 tons.
A deposit of 10s. per share must be made on application,
and 10s. on allotment. If na allotment is made, the deposit
will be returned without deduction.
Payments may be made at the Head Office of' the London
and County Bank, or at any_ of its Branches.
Full Prospectuses and Forms of Application may be ob-
tained of the Brokers, or at the Offices of the Company, 62,
Moorgate-street.
