r IrHE LONDON and MANCHESTER DIRECT
1_ IN RAI LWAY, with a BRANCH to the STAF-
FORDSHIRE POTTERIES, Remington's Line.
At a meeting of the Provisional Committee, bed at the Offices of
the Company, 29, Moorgate-street, London, this 2d day of July, 1845,
Colonel Hon. Leicester Stanhope having been called to the Chair,
It was moved by Major WALLER, K. 11., seconded by General Sir
JOHN FITZGERALD, and carried unanimously—

That the necessity of another great trunk railway from London to
the manufacturing districts appears to be admitted by the Govern-
ment authorities, the Board of Trade, Committees of Parliament,
and the commercial world generally, and this not only as regards
public convenisnce, but also on the broad ground of public safety ;
and that shortly this requirement will be greatly increased by the
competition of the Irish, Scotch, and northern lines now in progress.
It was moved by DANIEL TURTON JOHNSON, Esq., of Aldermary
Churchyard, seconded by Jolter BtracEss, Esq., the Boroughreeve
of Manchester, and carried unanimously—
That, therefore, it is desirable to establish this independent trunk
railway from London to Manchester, which by passing more directly
through the central parts of the kingdom, and at nearly equi-distance
from the two great northern lines already in existence, would sup-
ply the great industrial population of the north with a shorter,
speedier, and more convenient mode of transit, and would, at the
same time, furnish the country towns and agriculturaldistricts in its
course with means of communication, in which, as compared with
other localities possessing railway facilities, they are now lamentably
deficient, to their manifest injury.

was moved by GEORGE PETER Livirs, Esq., of Cauldweli Priory,
Bedfordshire, seconded by HENRY WARDLE, Esq., of Macclesfield,
and carried unanimously—

That this meeting cordially approve of the Branch Railway through
the Potteries, to Crewe, by way of Lane End, Stoke, Hanley, New-
castle, Burslem, and Tunstall, so as to form a junction with the Grand
Junction Railway.
It was moved by RICHARD HINE, Esq., of Macclesfield ; seconded by
Mjaor WALLER, K.H., of Saint Jamca's-square, and carried
