RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—An extraordinary meeting
of this company was held yesterday at Walsall for the
purpose of obtaining the sanction of the proprietors to a
Bill for leasing the line to Mr. M'Clean, civil engineer,
of Great George-street, Westminster ; Mr. C. S. For-
ster in the chair. After an important discussion res-
pecting supposed unfairness in the issue of proxies, the
lease was unanimously confirmed by the proprietors.
From a subsequent conversation it appeared that there
were defaulters to the amount of 30,0001. connected with
the original formation of the railway, but prompt mea-
sures had been adopted for the reduction of that amount.
