SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM
RAILWAY. ,
At a meeting of gentlemen. Shareholders in this Railway, held at
the office of Messrs. Bebh and Co., Solicitors, Argyle-streot, WIL-
LIAM NICHOLSON, Esq., in the Chair, the following resolutions
were unanimously carried :
Resolved,—That, as ills the object of the Subscribers to this Com-
pany to construct the proposed Railway between Shrewsbury and
Birmingham, and not merely to obtain a paltry premium on their
Scrip, this meeting feel called upon to express its strong disapproba-
tion at the course of proceedings adopted by the Committee of
Management.
Resolved,—That it was the bounden duty of the Board of Manage-
ment to have convened a special meeting of the Shareholders on the
rejection of the Bill by the House of Commons, and the reluctance of
the Board of Management to afford the necessary explanation to the
Shareholders, added to the many false reports which (whether they
emanated from members of the Board or not) have been circulated
clearly for purposes of private speculation, renders it imperative that
a general meeting of Subscribers be convened forthwith.
Resolved,—That a general meeting of Scripholders in this Company
be accordingly summoned for WEDNESDAY NEXT, the 2d day of April,
to be held on that day at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, at
Eleven o'clock precisely, at which all subscribers to the undertaking
are earnestly invited to attend. The objects of such meeting will be
to consider the measures to ho adopted to prevent any father ex-
penses from being incurred which would consume the small portion
of capital still in the hands of the Board.
Resolved,—That the under-mentioned gentlemen be appointed a
Committee to inquire into the present position of the affairs of this
Company, as well as the best future course of proceeding, and report
the result to the General Meeting, and that such Committee be em-
powered to avail themselves of professional assistance, if the same be
found necessary.
