EAST ANGLIAN.

Yesterday a meeting of East Anglian bondholders
and creditors took place at the London Tavern to
consider a proposition made on the part of the com-
mittee of bondholders, and also a counter proposition
made by the chairman of the board of director;, with
a view of relieving the company from their present
financial difficulties.

WILLIAM EVERARD, ESQ., took the chair, when
a long discussion took place as to the merits of the
two propositions, in which several bondholders inter-
fered, and eventually the proposal of the bondholders'
committee was adopted unanimously, the chairman
of the board of directors having withdrawn his pro-
position in its favour. The Chairman then moved
the resolutions founded on the committee's proposition.
Mr. SEPPINGS seconded the motion.
The resolutions were as follows :—" That this
meeting approve of the following proposition for an
arrangement between the East Anglian Railways
Company and their creditors : That the shares created
under the Act of 1849, viz , 37,552 shares of 101.
each, shall bear a preferential dividend of 5 instead of
7 per cent. ; and that every deficiency in the amount
of such dividend, at any period, shall be made up out
of the first assets subsequently available for the pur-
pose of dividend. 2dly, That the mortgagees, bond-
holders, and other creditors, shall accept such portion
of the said shares as remain unissued in sathfsction of
an equal amount of their claims. adly, That such of
the said shares as have been already issued shall remain
liable to be called up, in accordance with the resolu-
tions, upon the footing of which they were issued.
And 4thly, That until the full dividend upon such
preference shares shall have been punctually paid for
two years in succession, and on any future occasion
when such dividend shall fall below 5 per cent., and
then again until it shall have been punctually paid for
two years in succession, two-thirds of the board shall
be nominated by the registered proprietor of such
tharep, and the other third as heretofore; and at
other times two-thirds of the directors shall be chosen
as heretofore, and one.third by the new shareholiers.''
A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman
and committee of bondholders, when the meeting ,
adjourned.

when something like the following -dialoguepriver
