PROSPECTUS.
The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are—
Firstly—The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor-
tant districts embraced by the line.
Secondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro-
polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre-
sent unprovided with that accommodation.
Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway cornmunicatlon
between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and
the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Member and
its ports, including that of Hull.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester
and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the
market town of Kettering, by which place all the Companies compet-
ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose
to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market
towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Grant-
ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south but also to the north.'
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a
northerly direction to the flourishing pod of Gainsborough, and, on
the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
1 Raisen, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
By a union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Marketßaisen, a direct and uninterrupted chain of communi-
cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and the town and port of Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will

southern and western districts of the kingcloin,
will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that
town and Market Raison and Lincoln.

county town.

From Lincoln the whole of the traffic, passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over this line.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the
former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Granthatn,
