London, England, 1845-10-18 00:00:00

and unanimously resolved—

1. That it is highly desirable that railway communication be esta-
blished between Hounslow and London, and that it be as direct as
the nature of the country will permit, and follow as closely as pos-
sible the old coach thoroughfare.

Proposed by Major JELF- SHARP, seconded by B. J. ARMSTRONG,
Esq., and unanimously resolved—
_ . . .

2. That having heard and considered a statement of the course
which the projected line of Mr. Page will take, this meeting is of
opinion that such line is most highly calculated to promote the in-
terests of this town and neighbourhood, and presents a prospect of
far greater advantage than any line crossing the river, and not pro-
ceeding directly to the centre of the metropolis.
Proposed by JAleas IiIONTGOBIREY, Esq., seconded by Mr. KING,

and unanimously adopted-
3. That the'llne projected by Mr. Page is particularly entitled to
the support of the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood, for
the following amongst other reasons :-
1. That it is the line originally proposed by the inhabitants of this
district.
2. That it follows the direct course of the ancient thoroughfare froa
Hounslow to London, without crossing the River Thames.
3. That means having been taken for extending the original ter-
minus from Millis/ink to the immediate vicinity of Charing-cross, it
presents a more convenient access to the metropolis than any other
line.
That this meeting, therefore, pledge themselves to give every as-
sistance in promoting the success of this line.
The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to Henry
Pownall, Esq., as well for his kindness in taking the chair, as for the
ability with which he presided over the meeting.

The Committee of Management hereby give Notice that they
have COMPLETED the ALLOTMENT of SHARES, and that the
usual letters are this day issued. In the arduous duty of deciding on
claims unprecedented, it is believed, in their number and respecta-
bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap-
Vicants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for tha Company
a large share of legitimate influence. The numerous persons, with
undoubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose
applications have either been passed over or cut down, are requested
to accept this reason as the Committee's apology.
The Committee desire to add, that while attestations of public
support are daily reaching them from the most influential quarters,
the engineering preparations, under Mr. Braithwaite, are so far ad-
vanced, that the project cannot fail to be placed before Parliament in
a manner the most satisfactory to the Shareholders.
