CALEDON lAN RA I LWAY.
The HOLDERS of ORIGINAL and PREFERENCE
SHARES in the CALEDONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY are ear-
nestly entreated to attend IN PERSOy, the Adjourned Meeting
of Shareholders, to be held at the FREEMASONS' TAVERN,
Great Queen-street, on TUESDAY, the 12th instant, at Twelve.
o'clock, when the new Directors of the Company are to be appointed
The present stability and luture prosperity of the Company de-
pend mainly upon the high standing, practical experience, and busi-
ness habits of the Directors who are then t• be chosen ; and it is
C ,nceived that the subjoined list of proposed Directors (to be sub-
mitted to the meeting) combines those qualities in a higher degree
than any that has yet been suggested:—
The Honourable Captain PLUNKETT, R.N.
JOHN COPLING, jun., Esq., Hackney.
JAMES BAIRD, Esq., Gartsherrie Iron Works, Glasgow.
DOUGLAS CAMPBELL, Esq , Edinburgh.
WILLIAM JOHNSTON', Esq., banker, Glasgow.
JOHN DUNCAN, Esq., Aberdeen.
Alderman THOMPSO.N, M.P.
J. A. CAMPBELL, Esq., of Inverawe.
JOSEPH LOCKE, Esq., M.P.
The Shareholders will remark, that the only change which it is
thought desirable to make in the list proposed by the London Central
Committee, is, that the names of
Alderman THOMPSON, M.P.,
J. ♦. CAMPBELL, Esq., of Inverawe, and
JOSEPH LOCKE, Esq., M.P.
are substituted for those of
T. T. FAWCETT, Esq., Trump-street, London,
THOMAS McMICKING, Esq., Edinburgh, and
RICHARD POTTER, Esq., Professor, London University.
The London Central Committee attempt to induce the Share-
holders to bellve that, "under the specious pretence of putting for-
ward more active men of business," the interests of the holders of the
original stock of the Company are to be sacrificed. They know well
that their " caution" is uncalled for ; and a mere reference t• the
above names will convince every original-stock holder that his in-
terests will be safe in such hands.
Captain Plunkett's statement, that none of the names in his list
" are authorised to be used except as constituent parts of the board
recommended by the London Central Committee," is an entire mis-
take. It is known that several, and it is hoped that all of the gen-
tlemen recommended by the London Central Committee, wou'd be
willing to serve along with any other directors possessing the con-
fidence of the shareholders.
Shareholders are reminded that no new proxies can now be re-
ceived ; and it is therefore of the utmost importance that all the
shareholders, whether present (personally or by proxy) at last meet-
ing or not, should be present at the meeting on Tuesday next,
that they may have an opportunity of exercising their own judg-
ment upon a matter of such vital importance.
