RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.
;The protracted meeting of this company at PS
cheater was not brought to a close till after se 2,
o'clock on Thursday evening. It was nearly In
past six o'clock before the Coairman was able to r,
the result of the poll, which he reported to be 0 !lc)
lows :—On the amendment to the second resolute„
64 persons gave 5,232 personal votes, and 248„
sons gave 23,980 proxies, in favour of the amendele:ap
and 93 persons gave 8,240 personal votes, and d'o
persons gave 13,786 proxies against it. There Id
consequently a majority of 7,186 votes in favour e,
do
t
Clare (directors') amendment, and he would now tit
clare that amendment carried. On the amendr
to the third resolution the numbers stood thus
persons gave 4,563 votes, and 257 persons g'„,
24,479 proxies for the amendment, and 74 persel'el
gave 6,2Q8 votes, and 567 persons gave 13,457 Pros
p,.
against the amendment. The amendment was We
fore carried by a majority of 9,397 votes. ; tit/
Mr. A. WATICIN said, though there was a WV ti
for the proposition of the old board, it was a nie.Pr;of
of property only, and, looking at the large majorit9
persons giving both personal votes and proxies agisis
them, it was evident this question could not be CO
dared as definitively settled ; he wished, therei°.re, 0%
with a view to ending this contest and restoriso
peace to the company, to offer a suggestion. to
suggestion was to further increase the boar,' ry
twenty five members, and to add the names of ge6sf,
Henry Houldsworth, W. Rawson, W. Evans'dt.
Mowatt, M.P., and T. Brogden. He proposed
Houldsworth because that gentleman had ren;leopa
before such valuable services to the company—O'l
applause)--and he thought the great personal fee+hofo
manifested by the shareholders in favour of the 6';14
gentlemen was a sufficient justification for offer'
their names.—(Hear, hear.) 00l
The CHAIRMAN declined to put the motion, es
ciet
not coming within the limits of the notice 0
which the meeting was convened. tY
After some brief formal business, and thanks to
scrutineers and chairman, the meeting adjourned'
