DUDLEY, MADELEY, BROSELEY, AND
IRONBRIDGE RAILWAY, WITH EXTENSION TO
SH REWSBURY.
At a meeting of the Managing Committee of this Company, held
at the Stork Hotel, Birmingham, on Thursday, the 10th of Decem-
ber, 1843,
WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., ALP., in the Chair,
The following Report of the Committee was read :
The Managing Committee 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 the 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
front 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 projected by this Company.
Mr. Giles 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 November he constantly reiterated those assu-
rances to the Committee, to the respective solicitors, and to the se-
cre:ary, both orally and lu writing. Every assistance was rendered
which he required, and extracts from the correspondence will slew,
dantly testify that all was done by the Committee and the officers of
the Company to enable him to complete his work by he 29th of No-
vember. His applications for money were, in every case, complied
with, and the sum of 4,V01. was at various periods advanced to him,
on account of his own and the surveyors' charges ; the last payment
of 2,000/. having been made, at his own solicitation (though not with-
out considerable hesitation on the part of the Committee),ln order to
avoid the I,eQs:bo,:tv of his operations being retarded for want of
Any prceNt toy th-ir being inefile,rt
lr
(~ 4,11,, M.,ludic ti,uehton. the Company's
sm veyor (Mr. (..iies's :,tether-in-law), he* accepted his (Mr. Giles's)
liability to him for 2,0n0/., and Mr. • dlee has paid Mr. John Brettell,
another surveyor, 300/., thus leaving him (Mr. Giles) the sum
of 1,700/.
The anxiety expressed that all should be 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 subject 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 surveyi being
ready in time. I do lisps you will use every exertion to get them
done, and well done."
On the 28th October, Mr. Collis writes to Mr. Giles—
" I trust you will get the sections of the Dudley and Madeley line
conipleted without delay, as time runs on. I am glad to tell you
that all goes on favourably, and everything now rests with you. You
have, of course, made proper arrangements as to the engraving."
On the 31st, Mr. C4Alls-avikia ,-letter to Mr. Giles—
" I assure you meat tirMiehsani riurienrs are. abroad amisMild oar
proprietors that our sections and plans will not be properly done or
ready, as Dugdale Ileughton will have told you. Now I have done
all in my power to put a stop to these reports. I entreat of you to
have the sections of the whole line from Dudley to Ironbridge and to
Shrewsbury, as well as the surveys, most carefully done. You have,
of course, made due arrangements as to the engraving of the sec-

several solicitors. Mr. Giles, idler informing the Committee that he
had known amended sections deposited after the 30th of November
to be received in Parliament, where notice of such emendations had
been given to the landowners, offered to make correct sections at his
own expense, to enable the Committee to apply fer their Bill ; and
Mr. Houghton also offered his personal services, free of eharge, in
the event of their determining to proceed, and the application proving
unsucceseful. Under these circumstances, taking into consideration
the fact that the cress 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. Giles had stated, that they should be in a position to apply for a
Bill for it in the ensuing 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 tke 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
infsirmation was afterwards received from the parties sent to search
at the offices of the Clerks of the Peace, that the sections ef the im-
portant cross line from Stourbridge to Wolvehampton had not beet*
deposited, that sections of several miles:, of the main line had also
not been deposited (despite the decisive statements of Mr. Giles and
Mr. Houghton, the latter of whom delivered out the sections), and
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 enly 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 be
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 called Mr. Sergeant Allen and
their Parliamentary agents to their aid, and they will most 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 30th of November, saving such as was actually necessary
for ascertaining their real position.
The Committee desire to record their unabated confidence in the
intrinsic excellence of the line, 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.ita construction, together with a large proprietary of
unexampled respectability, full 'one-Italf being local; should 'have
been trustrated by the circumstances which they have set forth.
They are consoled, however, by the conviction that a railway so im
pet atively demanded by the locaity, possessing gradients superior to
any other line in the district, accommodating 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 duties, and have used their utmost exertions to advance the
interests of the Company.
The report having been read, the following resolutions were
unanimously carried:-
1. That the report now read to the Committee be adopted and
published, at the discretion of the Committee, in the local and daily
newspapers.
2. That the further services of Mr. Francis Giles, as engineer to
this Company, be at once dispensed with.
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

CHARGE OF MURDER.
During the last two weeks some excitement has pre-
vailed in the neighbourhood of Dagenham, and the
western portion of the county of Essex, in consequence
of a rumour having been very extensively circulated,
that a respectable tradesman, named Thomas Dunsdon,
a potato salesman, residing at Chadwell-heath, had
murdered his wife, by cutting her throat. The wife died
as long since as the 20th of October, from the effects of
a severe wound in her throat. A coroner's inquiry was
gone into before C. C. Lewis, Esq., the county coroner,
and a verdict was returned that the deceased committed
the act. whilst labouring under temporary insanity. A
few days after the inquest was held, a report was spread
by some of the witnesses who were examined before the
coroner, that the act was not done by the deceased, and
that the husband had cut her throat, and that they had
been prevented from giving such evidence before the
coroner as would have fixed Dunsdon with the commission
of the crime of murder. This report reaching the ears
of the husband, he threatened to take legal proceedings
against the originator of the scandal, a person named
Benham.
On the 10th of the present month, an information was
made before Octavius Massiter, Eeq., nine of the county
lk
magistrates, on the oath of eo Banham and Ra-
chael Summons, that Thomas Di on, of Chadwell-
heath, in the parish of Dagenh , in the county of
Essex, did, or. the 20th of October, feloniously and with
malice aforethought assault Mary Dunsdon, and with. a
certain razor inflict a wound in her throat, of which she
then and there died. The magistrate at once issued a
summons against Dunsdon for his attendance before him
the following day. After hearing th 2 evidence of George
Banham and other witnesses, the accused was remanded
to the Ilford sessions, bail being taken-for his appearance.

complained of pain in her back. I told the Coroner that
I took a cup of coffee up stairs. I don't recollect that I
told the Coroner that she spoke to me when I went up
the second time. To the best of my recollection I don't
thick that I told the Coroner, when I brought down the
coffee, I saw my master go up stairs, but that I saw him
enter the house.

Mr. Griffin said the evidence he should offer for the
defence would throw the testimony of this witness entirely
overboard.

Mr. Cotton—l think it is right to inform you, Mr.
Griffin, that I shall not take any evidence for the defence.
Mr. Griffin (evidently astonished)—But here is Mr.
Lewis the coroner present, before whom the witness was
examined at the inquest, and—
Mr. Cotton—S'4 ell, if Mr. Lewis is here, I shall not
take his evidence.

Mr. Lewis —I beg, sir, to inform you that I did not
come here to give evidence.
Mr. Griffin--The question I wish to put to the witness
is—

Mr. Cotton—The question is, are you to be the cona-
mendinv officer here, or me?
Mr. Grffin—With all due submission to you—
Mr. Cotton—Then sit down, sir.
Police-constable Crawford 253 K, was next examined.
He said I went to Mr. Dunsdon's house on the 20th of
October, the day the deceased died. I received a razor
from Mr. Bonham.
Cross-examined—l had a conversation with Mr. Ben-
ham, and I asked him whether ho had any suspicion
that the husband had committed the act. (This portion
of the evidence the bench declined to receive.)
Josiah Dickens, upon being sworn, said—l am a car-
penter, and reside at Chadwell-heath. I received a
razor from the last witness. He gave it me to put away.
I threw it in a pond near Wansey House. It was the
same razor as I saw at Dunsdon's house on the 24th of
October. On that day I wax at work within forty yards
of the prisoner's house. I heard a parson screaming,
" She has done it, she has done it." I saw the prisoner
coming from his back yard. I went into the house and
saw Mrs. Duusdon lying in bed on her back, with her
throat cut. On coming down stairs I saw a razor in the
back-yard. Dunsdon entered the yard from Mr. Glenny's
house, and he noticed the razor and said, " Where could
she get this from?" I took the razor and put it on a
shelf in the back kitchen. The razor that I threw into
the pond was the same us I saw at Dunsdon's. I knew
it by some blood on the blade.

largely d lost 'extensively in railway shares. It was
difficult to ascertain the precise amount of his losses,
which was very great. In one transaction alone he lost
2,0001. Although deceased was not what he would call
a wealthy man, yet their trade was of a most promising
character. Since he lost so heavily by railway specula-
tions, he became an altered man, and was exceedingly
low and dejected in spirits. The manuscripts produced
were written by deceased after he cut his throat.
The following are the writings alluded to, and all bear
the date of the 24th of November, 1845
" 1. Dear Friends,—My fate is unfortunate. Do throw
a veil over my errors. God bless you, and pardon me.
Oh I my good friend Scott."
"2. Dear Jackson,—My fate is unfortunate. Throw
a veil over my errors. Poor Scott. God bless him, and
pardon me.—G. G."
" 3. I leave all matters in your hands with other good
advisers, Scott and Jackson."
" 4. Agreeable to what is in my will in Wren's hands."
The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of
Temporary insanity."
A solicitor who was present said, that he had to attend
that day the meetings of the creditors of two extensive
firms who, from losses in railway speculations, were
compelled to wind up their affairs and stop payment.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY, ELEVEN O'CLOCH.—The
Forth, Royal Mail steam-ship, Captain Chapman, arrived
this morning at half-past nine o'clock, with the usual
fortnightly mails. This not being a gulf steamer, of
course she brings no news from Mexico. The Forth
brings dates down to the following periods :
Jamaica, Nov. 23; Demerara, Nov. 19; Trinidad,
Nov. 20; Barbadoes, Nov. 24; Grenada, Nov. 25; St.
Thomas, Nov. 30; and Fayal, Dec. 13.
She brings in freight, 240 ounces of silver, 419 bales
of sarsaparilla, and sundry shipments of coffee, nut-
megs, succados, bees' wax, tortoiseshell, &c., &c.
fhe Forth also brings home a great number of emi-
grants from the American emigrant ship Robert Isaac,
bound from Liverpool to New York, which the authori-
ties of Faya.l condemned as belt.... unseaworthy.
John Burns, second mate, and Charles Clarke, seaman,
were also brought home prisoners, on a charge of mu-
tiny on board the Harriet, of London. They will be
handed over to the authorities here. They were taken
on board at Fayal.
The whole of the emigrants are in excellent health,
although, as a matter of course, they hare undergone
inconvenience and privations previous to having been
shipped on board the Forth.
The Forth brings home but a few passengers.
The Jamaica papers (the only file which has yet come
to hand) are barren of intelligence. The railway to
Spani.h Town was opened on the 21st.
The rain had set in, and the forthcoming crops pro-
mise well.

The Forth has had a good passage. and had it not
been for detention at Fayal to take in tho emigrant',
would gave arrived last evening.
