BOSTON, NEWARK, AND SHEFFIELD
RAILWAY.
The Committee of Direction beg to inform the shareholders that
the Plans and Books of Reference of the line were duly lodged with
the Board of Trade and with the Clerks of the Peace on the 30th
ult., but in consequence of the fraudulent abstraction of twenty sheets
of the Sections from the premises of tke Lithograper (a fact which
the Committee are in a position to substantiate, and for the discovery
of the perpetrator of which felonious proceeding they have taken the
most decisive steps), the Sections, though deposited at the Board
of Trade, were a few hours too late at the offices of the Clerks of the
Peace ; they were, however, deposited before office hours on the
following morning.
The Committee feel confident that no impediment to the progress
of the Bill will arise from this delay, the case of the Sheffield and
Lincolnshire Railway last session affording, from the exact similarity,
a decisive president for insuring the safety of the Rill in the standing
orders.
With the exception of about 500 reserved shares, the full deposit
of 10 per cent. has been paid on the capital, of which 100,0001. have
been invested at 34 per cent. interest, and 19,0001. at 3 per cent.
The Sections will be found, on inspection, to show an excellent
line, with favourable gradients, and very little earth-work or tun-
nelling for the length of the line. The landowners, whose property
the railway traverses, are all but unanimously favourable, and the
Committee feel undiminished confidence in the ultimate success of the
undertaking. By order,
JOHN DENNISTON, Secretary.

At a MEETING of LANDOWNERS, held November 10, 1545, at
Eullsay Castle Ina, the following resolution was adopted
" We, the undersigned,landovrners on and near the line of railway
proposed to be made by a Company calling itself the Newcastle-on-
Tyne, Edinburgh, and Direct Glasgow Railway, with a branch to
Ilexham, having considered the proposed line, and explained with Mr.
Monck, the Chairman of the Managing Committee of the said Railway
Company, are of opinion that the proposed line of railway, both in
its main line and in its branch, will be beneficial both to the line
of country through which it will pass, and to our own estates, in af-
fording the shortest and easiesn- t communication between Glasgow,
Edinburgh, and Newcastle-upoTyne, and in opening out to use the,
lime and other minerals which may be now lying unwrought
theni our
lands. We are of opinion, therefore, that the projectors of po_
posed line ought to have our consent and support, subject to such re-
servations in regard to all private and personal interests as is usual in
such cases."
