DUDLEY, MADE LEY. BROSELEY, IND
IRONBRIDGE RAILWAY, WITH EXTENSION TO
SHREWSBURY.
At a meeting of the Managing Committee of this Company, held
at the Stork Hotel, Birmingham, on Thursday, the 10th of Decem-
ber, 1845,
WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair,
The following Report of the Committee was read :
The Managing Counnittee of the Dudley, Madeley, Broseley, and.
Ironbridge Railway Company, with extension to Shrewsbury, feel
that it is due to themselves and to the Shareholders. to lay before
them, at the earliest possible period consistent with due inquiry, their
present position, consequent upon the circumstances which will be
found detailed in following Report:—
Mr. Francis Giles became the engineer of the Company on its for-
mation, and the Committee were induced to place confidence in him
from the fact of his having been employed by Mr. Robert Stephenson,
in his absence, to lay out several important lines in the vicinity of
the line of railway 'injected by this Company.
Mr. elites attended a meeting of the Committee at Birmingham,
early in October, when he gave positive assurances that he was ra-
pidly proceeding with his work, and had made such arrangements
as would enable him to complete it in good time; and from that pe-
riod till the end of Nov( miser he constantly rea crated those assu-
rances to the Committee, to the respective solicitors, and to the se-
cre:ary, both orally and in writing. Every assistance was rendered
which he required, and extracts front the correspondence will atom-
dantly testify that all was done by the Committee arid the oilleers of
the Company to enable hint to complete his work by the 29th of No-
vember. His applications for money were, in every case, complied
with, and the sum of 4,0 01. was at various periods advanced to him,
on account of his own and the surveyors' charges ; the last payment
of 2,0001. having been made, at his own solicitation (though not with-
out consab rable hesitation on the part of the Committee), in order to
avoid the possibility of his operations being rutar ied for want of
funds, or to afford any possible pretext for their being incfficiewly
performed. Of this suns, Mr. Duerdale Houghton, the Company's
surieyor (Mr. Giles's brother-in-law), has accepted his (Mr. Giles's)
liability to into for 2,0011/., and Mr. tiles lies paid Mr. John Brettell,
another surveyor, $OOl., thus leaving him (Mr. Giles) the sum
of 1,7001.
The anxiety expressed that all should he ready In time was only
equalled by Mr. Giles's assurances that there were no grounds for
apprehension, as the following extracts from the correspondence on
the sunject will show:—
On the 17th of October, Mr. Collis, one of the Company's solici-
tors, thus addressed Mr Giles—
" Great anxiety is entertained as to the sections and surveys being
ready in time. Ido hope you will use every exertion to get them
done, and well done."
Oil the 28th October, Mr. Coils writes to Mr. Giles—
" I trust you will get the sections of the Dudley and Madeley line
completed without delay, as time runs on. I am glad to tell you
that all goes on favourably, and everything now rests wills you. You
have, of course. made proper arrangements as to the engraving."
On the 31st, Mr. Collis says la a letter to Mr. Giles—
" I assure you most unpleasant rumours are abroad amongst our
proprietors that our sections and plans will not be properly do-:e or
ready, as Ougdale Houghton will have told you. Now I have done
elite
all In my power to put a slop to thtteportses I entreat of you to
have the sections of the whole line from Dudley to Ironbridge and to
Shrewsbury, as well us the survey s, most carefully done. You have,
of course, made due arrangements as to the engraving of the sec- '
dons."
In a letter to Mr. Collis, on the 9th of November, respecting the
Oldbury branch, Mr. Odes says, in reference to the plans which he
had received—
" The plans are, as I consider, in good condition."
On the 10th of November, Mr. Collis thus writes to Mr. Giles—
" I know you will pardon my expressing deep anxiety as to every-
thing being done in due time, particularly that we may have the Sec-
tions aed surveys finished, as the middle of November is nearly
arrived."
Three days afterwards, viz., on the 13th, Mr. Collie says—
.. I hope you will use every means to complete tilt sections with
the least possible delay. I assure you we all feel extreme anxiety on
the subject. Should you want me, or if I can do any thing to for-
ward you, pray send for me, or let me know immediately."
The next day, the 14th, Div. Collis again urges Mr. Giles onward,
by saying—
" We quite rely upon your having all ready, and that the sections
are in He hands oh the lithographer. Be -r in mind that the 29th is
only twelve clays off, and that the sections must be sent before then
to us, and be early to deposit. I trust you will excuse my most
earnestly beseeching you to use every possible exertion to complete
everything as quickly as practicable. The general impression is, that
we shall not he ready. We must not spare exertion Many kind ; fu
fact, we must keep faith with the public."
On the 19th, Sent:chic writes—
" i have just heard that Houghton thinks there is some misunder-
standing between you and the lithographer. If there be the slightest
foundation for this, I beg and pray of you not to lose an instant in
setting this matter right. Excuse my per •onally entreating you to use
every exertion, as f am daily pressed on the subject."
To this Mr. Giles replies on the 20th—
" I know of no misunderstanding between me and the lithographer.
Don't give credit to such nonsense."
The seine day. the 20th, Mr. Collis writes to Mr. Giles as follows—
" I am desired by the Committee to beg and entreat you to see that
the sections are completed, and placed in the lithographer's hands as
speedily as possible. I do hope you will excuse my writing se ur-
gently to you. Ido seriously assure you that we all feel that our
honour and characters are at stake, to say nothing of the large sum
of money that would be sacrificed If our plans and sections are net
duly deposited."
On the 21st, Mr. Giles replied as follows—
" I beg that you will not be in any anxiety about lithogrephing the
sections. Mr. Houghton will get some done in Birmingham. I will
get all the rest done, and have provieed for it. You shall deposit on
tke 29th. I come to Birmingham to-morrow night, by express train,
to meet my troops, who are all to assemble at Dee's to-morrow
night."
Mr. Collis's next letter to Mr. Giles is dated November 21st, in
which he says—
"l know you will not like my troubling you with these repeated
urgent letters, but I confess I am so strongly pressed by numbers of
people doily, that I feel painfully anxious that we should not fail in
keeping goal faith with our shareholders."
Mr. Giles replies on the 22d—
" If you come to me to-morrow, in order to be made certain of my
work being done, I will even show you my plan and arrangements
for it—otherwise be assured of it."
The Committee, feeling that the foregoing extracts abundantly
confirm the asserton with which they set out, will now refer to the
statements made to them by air. Joseph King and Sir. Heath, two
active memberreof the Committee, who were in Birmingham, watch-
ing the later proceedings.
Mr. King states that he went to Birmingham, at the urgent re-
quest of Mr. Collis, in company with him and Mr. heath, on Thurs-
day, the 27th of November, ai.d that he remained there till Satur•
day night, with the cXceptiOn of a few hours on Friday, during which
period he had every reason to believe that the business was pro-
ceeding satisfactorily.
Mr. Heath reports that he accompanied Mr. Collis to Birmingham
on the 15th of November, at his request, to have an interview with
Mr. Giles, who had stated that he should be there that night. They
and Mr Wainwright saw Mr. tides after midnight. at the Royal
Hotel, when 14 gave them the most positive assurances that every-
thing would be ready in time. The following Monday, the 24th, Mr.
Heath again went to Birmingham with Mr. Collis, when Mr. Giles
repeated his former assertions that everything would be ready.
Three days afterwards, Thursday, the 27th, Mr. Heath, at Mr.
Collis's request, once more went to Birmingham, accompanied by
Mr. Collis and Sir Joseph King, and remained there until he had
sees the various gentlemen start on Sunday night to make their re-
spective deposits.
About five o'clock on Sunday afternoon Mr. Heath saw Mr.
Houghton deliver the plans to the several solicitors, in doing which
lie (31r. Houghton) expressed his obligations to them and the other
gentlemen connected with the Company, for toe assistance they had
rendered him, adding that the sections would be ready in half an
hour.
After this interview with Mr. Houghton, the party left to prepare
for starting, and returned to Mr. Ilougliton's office about half-past
live o'clock in the afternoon. where they remained until twenty
minutes to nine in the evening, and during this period, facts of such
importance are spoken to, that the Committee feel bound, not-
withstanding its length and the reluctance of Mr. Heath,
to give a la, ge portion of his report in detail. After stating that they
fliund Mr. Joshua John Petle, of Shrewsbury (solicitor to the Wor-
cester and Crewe, and also to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Rail-
way Companies), and Mr. Hood (a relative of Mr. Roy, the other so-
licitor to the Shire a shury and Birmingham ('ompany), in Mr. Hough-
ton's waiting room, ready to convey the Worcester and Crewe plans
for deposit, Mr. Heath thus proceeds :
" Between seven and eight o'clock Mr. Peele was sent for by 3lr.
Houghton, and he remained in Mr. Houghton's room until after the
delivery of the sections by Mr. Houghton to tine respective solicitors.
At this period I became very anxious. and requested Mr. Collis to see
Mr. Houghton. Mr. Collis accordingly went into Mr. Houghton's
room on the first floor, but immediately returned and told us that
Mr. Houghton positively insisted on his leaving the room. Shortly
atter ths Sir. Giles came out of Mr. Houghton's room, and on my
asking him respecting the sections, Str. Giles said that they had
been out of his hands some time, and that they were under Mr.
Houghton's care, upon which I again requested Mr. (Solis to go to
Mr. lloughton. Mr. Collis, consequently, went a second time, but
came lack directly and said that 31r. Peele (whom I saw in
Mr. lloughton's room when the doer was opened) refused to admit
him, telling him (Mr. Collis) that Mr. Houghton would soon hand out
the sections. Mr. Collis further said that he had remonstrated with
Mr. Peele on the impropriety of his being in Mr. Houghton's room at
such a moment. Thus matters stood, the solicitors and myselfrem alining
in a small room adjoining Mr. Houghton's, in estate of great anxiety;
a person being then stall tied in the passage leading to the door of
Mr. Houghton's room, who positively refused to allow any one of us
to pass to it. Soon after eight o'clock Mr. Peele, from Mr. Hough-
ton's doom, called the respective solicitors of the Company, who ac-
cordingly went into the room, whither I followed them; and where
I saw Mr Houghton give to each of them certain rolls, which he
said coetained the sections of the Hadley and 31 adeley line com-
plete, except the section of the branch front Rudge to Wolverhamp-
ton. which he said should be deliv‘ red out in a few initiates, if it
could be fouiel, adding that they were then engaged in looking for it.
We then left Mr. Houghton and went into the anti-room, where we
consulted together as to the propriety of the solicitors at once pro-
ceeding to their respective destinations (the evening being so far ad-
vanced), to deposit such sections as they had ; but it was at length
agreed that Mr Houghton should be again distinctly asked if the
rolls ne had given to each of the solicitors contained the sections of
the whole line, except the Wolverhampton branch ; for which pur-
pose Mr. Collis once more went to 31r. Houghton's room, Mr. Wain-
wright, another of the Compauy's solicitors, following him. ;
Mr. Collis returned immediately, and reported that Mr. Hough-
ton had told him, contrary to what he (Mr. Houghton) had
previously stated, that the respective liu, dies did not contain the
whole of the acetone with tho exception of the before mentioned
branch. Upon this the solicitors and myself held another con-
ference, during which Mr. Collis partially unrolled one of the
bundles of Sections, and it appearingthat Dudley was upon one sheet I
and Shrewsbury upon another. the solicitors and 1 came to the con-
elusion that the rolls which they had received comprised the sections
of the entire main line, contrary to Mr. Houghton's last statement.
Immediately upon this discovery being made, Mr. Peele called from I
Mr. Houghton's room for Mr. Collis, whither he went, returning
directly, and satin; that Mr. Houghton had now informed him that
their respective rolls did contain the whole of the Sections of the line,
with the exception of the Wolverhampton branch. The same state-
neent as to the correctness of the rolls was made by Mr. Houghton to
the ether solicitors of the Company. Mr. Collis and his colleagues
then stsirted, at twenty minutes before nine o'clock."
Mr. Heath concludes as follows :—" Observing, with much pain,
that attempts have been made to Impute blame to the solicitors, lii
reference to their conduct on Sunday, the 30th of November, and
preceding days, and particularly that a scene of gross confusion and !
disorder occurred in the surveyors room, in which they aro implicitly
charged as participators, I feel that though I have shown they were
rigidly denied access to Mr. Houghton's room, I owe it to the Com- '
pang, to these gentlemen, and to myself, as a member of the Manag-
ing Committee, to declare that a more unfounded calumny could not
have been uttered. I was with these gentlemen during the whole of
Sunday ; I had many opportunities of observing their unremitting
exertions on the preceding days—l may say nights also ; and I have
great pleasure in stating that, with whomsoever the blame of this
failure may rest, it was in no way attributable to any wont of ar-
rangement or zeal, or acivity, on the part of the solicitors, or of the
secretary, their conduct throughout, and especially during the most
critical period, having been praiseworthy in the highest degree."
The Committee have also received reports from the solicitors, re
ferring to the circumstances detailed by Mr. Heath, and speaking
in the highest leans of the exertions made by Mr. Houghton to com-
plete his Thation of the work in good time, up to the period of the
of a LET'F Elt from delivery of the plans ; but they do not think it necessary, after quot-
ing at so great a length from Mr. Heath's statement, to allude to
COURTNEY, Esq. them further at present.

several solicitors. Mr. Giles, after informing the Committee that he
had known amended ..eetions deposited after the 30th of November
to be received in Parliainent, where notice of such etnendations had
been given to the landowners, offered to make correct sections at his
o'vn expense, to enable the Committee to apply for their Bill ; and
Mr. Boughton also offered his personal s,rvices, free of eharge, In
the event of their d.,tennining to proceed, and the application provig
tinsucce,,lul. Under these circumstances, taking into consideration
the fact that the cr. ss line from Stourbridge to Wolverhampton
formed a very important, and to a certain extent independent por-
tion of the projected railway, and that it was probable, from what
Mr. Cites had stated, that they should be in a position to apply for a
Bill for it In the en4uing session with a reasonable prospect of suc-
cess, the Committee agreed that the solicitors should forthwith take
the opinion of the Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Dyson, Hall, and
Company, as to the course the Committee should pursue; and also
send competent persons to ascertain what sections had really been
deposited. Mr. Giles had stated that he should at once proceed to
make entire new sections of the whole line.
The deliberate written opinioa of the Parliamentary agents has
been obtained, to the effect that it was " a very reasonable and
proper ease to bring before the Standing Orders Committee, with a
view of obtaining a decision in favour of
,the Bill proceeding." But
information was afterwards received from the parties sent to search
at the offices of the Clerks of the Peace, that the sections of the im-
portant cross line from Stourbridge to Wolvehampton had not beets
deposited, that sections of several miles: of the main line had also
not been deposited (despite the decisive statements of Mr. Giles and
r. Houghton, the latter of whom delivered out the sections), zu.d
that those which had been lodged were extremely incorrect in detail.

In the altered circumstances of their affairs, the Committee were
at once convinced that their only course was to advise the share-
holders to abandon all thoughts of an application to Parliament for
a Bill in the ensuing session, and to consider what steps should he
taken to protect the shareholders from the consequences of the con-
duct which it has been their painful duty to detail.
With this object, as well as with respect to the future operations of
the Company, the Committee have culled .111 r. Sergeant Allen and
their Parliamentary agents to their aid, and they will mot anxiously
and carefully consider the propriety of taking such steps in reference
to competing lines in the next session as they may be advised.
One course which the Committee propose to adopt, is forthwith to
return to the Proprietors the sums of 21. per share, on such condi-
tions as counsel may deem necessary for the purpose of enabling the
Committee to prosecute the undertaking in the session of 1847,
should it be found expedient to do so.
The liabilities of the Company will be forthwith ascertained and
discharged ; and the Committee beg to inform the Shareholders that
every regard has been paid to economy consistent with the progress
of the scheme ; and further, that no expenditure has taken place
since the 30tli of November, saving such as was actually necessary
for ascertaining their real poFition...
. _ .

The Committee desire to record their unabated confidence in the
intrinsic excellence of the I:ne, and to express their regret that a
scheme, supported by such an array of noblemen, Members of Par-
liament, landowners, ironmasters, and other gentlemen, whose in-
terests demand its construction, together with a large proprietary of
unexampled respectabllty, thll one-half being local, should have
been :rustruted.,by Ole circuastavegnwkkeb larreweet!
Tiltl'eW fl W, however, by the eunviction that a rallivay so Im
pe,atively demanded by the !many, possessing gradients superior to
any other line in the district, ac,ommodating South Staffordshire
and Shropshire in a manner that no other scheme can do, bringing
the respective places in its course much nearer to each other than
any other project does, and gaining, as it has, so great an amount of
public favour by its undoubted merits, must shortly be carried out.
It now only remains for the Committee to say that they should
fail in fully discharging their duty, if they did not express their per-
fect satisfaction with the conduct of the solicitors and the secretary,
all of whom have paid the most unremitting attention to their re-
spective dut,es, and hay used their utmost exertions to advance the
interests of the Company. _ . .

The report having been read, the following resolutions wore
unanimously carried : --
1. That the report mtw read to the Committee he adopted snd
published, at the discretion of the Committee, in the local and daily

2. That the further services of Mr. Francis Giles, as engineer to

3. That the Committee of Management take such proceedings
against Mr. Giles, their late engineer, as counsel may advise.

4. That the warmest thanks of the Committee are eminently due
to Richard Heath and Joseph King, Esqs , for remaining in Birming-
ham during the eventful period ending with the 30th of November,
and lending their valuable assistance to secure the deposit of the
plans and sections.
