---
SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.
The half-yearly general meeting of the share-
holders of this company was held on Saturday at the
company's office, Delahay-street„Westininster.
George Hemery, Esq., in consequence of the ab-
sence of the chairman, Pierce Butler, Esq., M.P.,
took the chair shortly after one o'clock.
The usual formal proceedings having been gone
through,
The SECRETARY read the following report :
" In meeting the shareholders on this occasion the di-
rectors have to express their regret that, in consequence
of the calls not having been duly responded to, they
have been unable to free the company from its pecu-
niary engagements.
" Two judgments have been obtained against the com-
pany adversely, the one at the suit of Mr. F. H. Deve-
reux, the executor of the late Harvey Devereux, Esq.,
of Kilkenny, local agent to the company, for 1,1151., in-
terest and costs ; the other at the suit of Messrs.
Hitchens, for 1,362/. 16s. 21, interest and costs, for
engineering and surveying.
The directors, unable to satisfy these amounts from
the very limited funds in head, have no alternative but
to let the creditors take such steps to procure the fruits
of their judgments as they may be advised; and, in
justice to themselves, deem it right to direct the attm-
tion of the shareholders to the 36th section of the Com-
panies' Clauses Consolidation Act, which gives the cre-
ditor, unable to levy execution upon any property of the
company, a right to personal execution against the share-
holders, to the exteat of the capital remaining unpaid
ppm their shares."
From the financial statement it appeared that up to
June, 1850, the receipts were 21,145/. 17s. 2d. ; the
expenditure, 20,022/. Is. I Id.; and that the liabilities
of the company were 3,697/.
The report and the accounts having been put and
carried,
The CHAIRMAN stated, in answer to a question of
a proprietor, that be had never received a single shil-
ling for his expenses, although it had cost him hun-
dreds to come backwards and forwards to attend the
half-yearly meetings of the company.
A resolution forfeiting fifty shares was carried
unanimously.
The following resolution was also carried unani-
mously :
"It is the opinion of this meeting that the names of
those shareholders who are in arrear of calls should hi
riven to the judgment creditors prior to those of the
parties who have responded thereto."
A vote of thanks was then moved and carried to
the Chairman, and the meeting separated.
