3fessrs. Brook and Freeman,
The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made,
or sanctione,l by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud-
dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, in Lancashire, through the inter-
vening country between Huddersfield and Bury, for which extension
a line of railway only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed
line will commence at the Huddersfield station, between which place
and Leeds Parliament has already sanctioned the 'ormation of rail-
ways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way
of Hillhouse, Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley
between Stainland and Greetland, through Ba' k'sland, the Vale of
Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will
join the terminus of the Liverpoo' and Bury line of railway.
In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool
to Leeds, Hull, and Goole by the shortest practicable route, and by a
much smaller outlay of capital than by any other proposed line, it will
provide for a large and important manufacturing population, hitherto
without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet to the
south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway,
and to Manchester and North and South Lancashire by the railways
above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a
proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line when completed will, in addition to the advantages which
it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of valleys
thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a large
quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought from a
distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their in-
dustry, for which purposes a line of railway has become absolutely
necessary, and there can be no doubt that au ample return will be
realised for the outlay of capital required.
The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present
line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will
be reduced to seventeen miles.

The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of en-
tering into any arrangements with existing railway companies that
may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Par-
liament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 4/. per
cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the
respective times of payment to the times of opening the railway.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to
any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett
and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin-
burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Gatliff and Co., Messrs.
