Railway Companies, held in Belfast on the 3Uth August ult., having
been read—
Proposed by MATTIIEW FORDS. Esq. ; seconded lsy Joins LINDSAY,
Esq., and resolved unanimously—
" That this Committee cannot but express their regret that the
Shareholders of the Belfast and County Down, and Newry, Ban-
bridge, and Itelfast Junction Companies, should have been so imper-
fectly Informed respecting the real state of the proceedings connected
with the proposed amalgamation, as to assume that the negotiation
i with this Company was still pending—the same having been defini-
tively concluded ; else, we conceive, they would have paused before
they rspudiated an agreement formally and officially ratified, and
which this Committee entered into, upon the positive assurance of
the Solicitor of those Companies, that their respective Cernmittoes
were duly and properly authorised to effect such agreement."
Proposed by A. IL MONTGOMERY, Esq , and seconded by BEM'
Thomson, Esq., and resolved unanimously
" That the portion of the Line of the Great County Down Railway
which is not en braced in the Lines of any of the other Compiusies—
that is to say, the portion from Powepatrick to Newry—pa's
that the traffic en that

possible public convenience, by opening up this county ; and, there-
fore, after having fairly and honourably made a proposal of amalga-
mation to the other Companies, which their Committees accepted,
