RAILWAY LITIGATION.
At a meeting of persons, held the 17th day of December,
845, at No. 25, Throgmorton-street, London, to consider the objects
ated in an advertisement recently published, and which was read
as follows :

"RAILWAY LITIGATION.
" At a preliminary meeting of persons interested, held the 2d day
of December, 1845,
" It was resolved,—That proceedings at law having been threatened
In various railway matters, it is very desirable that, with a view to
the equitable arrangement of just demands, and the resistance of
Claims obviously made under the impression that the dread of
ruinous law charges will induce compliance, as also to ascertain the
legal liabilities of committee-men, shareholders, and applicants for
shares ; and further to elicit the actual circumstances of various
railway projects (matters far too weighty and important fur indivi-
dual responsibility), a confidential meeting be speedily convened of
Parties who are interested in these objects."
WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair.
The names of numerous persons desirous of co-operating having
been given in—
It was unimously resolved,—That with a view to the accomplish-
ment of the foregoing purposes, a Society be now formed, to be called
" The Railway Mutual Protection Society."
That the rules and regulations for th,,, support and government of
the Society now read, be approved and adopted.
And it was ordered that the same be printed for distribution, and
that Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores, of Throgmorton-street; the
solicitors of the Society, be authorised to furnish copies thereof to
applicants ; and
That persons proposing to become members of the Society, aro re-
quested to send their names and addresses to the solicitors.
Upon the motion of Sir WILLIAM Lowviioar, it was unanimously

resolved—
That Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., be appointed President of the
Society, and that the thanks: of the country are due to him for hav-
ing originated this important undertaking.
That the thanks of this meeting be given to William Collins. Esq.,
for his attendance, and for the able manner in which he has
presided. MARCUS TRAVERS, Secretary pre tern..

RAIL WAY MUTUAL PROTECTION
SOCIETY.
This Society is a voluntary association of persons Interested in the
success and judicious administration of railways ; and especially for
ascertaining the present state of the law as affecting the rights and
liabilities of those connected with railways and railway projects.
That in the undefined state of the law touching the various rela-
tions in which persons connected with railways find themselves
placed, great inducements are offered to the resistance of just de-
mands, and to the enforcement of groundless claims; in either case
Imposing very serious expenses, amounting in the one to the denial
Hof justice, and in the other to the it,flic don of positive wrong.
It is obvious that individuals having to enforce their rights against,
or to resist unwarrantable claims by bodies corporate in their cha-
racter, and having in their hands large funds, will do so at a serious
disadvantage, without an arrangement for co-operation and mutual
assistance, and the aid of a subscribed fund. It is therefore agreed
that a fund shall be provided by subscription, and that the following
' • tuba _awl regulations shall he. Wax, upo,R As.,,vaPPlbels

shall be submitted to the solicitors of the Society.
That, for the guidance of the Council, and for the satisfaction of
the members of the Society, the opinions of several counsel at the
equity and common law bars shall be taken upon the various and
Most prominent questions which may affect the rights and liabilities
of the subscribers and allottees of shares, as well as the Directors,
Managing and Provisional Committeemen, of railways and railway
;projects.

Ofilices of the Company and Working Factories, 159, Drury-lane.
The Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out, more ef-
fectual'ly working, and bringing hsto general use, an invention se-
cured by letters patent for an improved manufacture of gas.
The apparatus is so portable it can be fitted up on any descrip-
tion vt building, even at a kitchen range, without affecting the do-
mestbs arrangements, and the fire used in ordinary in generating the
gas will be ample to produce steam for warming the most extensive
premises.
The most eminent engineers and chemists unite in opinion that
the invention is not only practicable and free from smell or annoy-
ance, but by this valuable patent is secured the manufacture of a
pure and superior gas, not only on new, but sound, scientific, chemical,
and mechanical principles, which have been hitherto overlooked in
be common modes of manufacture ; besides, this gas possesses more
4:4 the illmninating power, and will burn longer, than that now in use,
In the proportion of 40 per cent. in favour of the invention.
,the patent method is applicable to lighting generally, but more
esp, !chilly small towns, villages, lighthouses, colleges, churches, dock-
yam Is, theatres, public offices, prisons, barracks, railway stations,
men ufactories, printing-offices, madhouses, hospitals, and schools,
&c., Anti warming the buildings, without extra expense.
The benefits which would accrue to lighthouses, dockyards, and
numerous localities, where the ordinary gas cannot be conveyed
withot, t the formation of many new Acts and Companies, or at im-
mense expense, would be sufficient to obtain for this Company the
most pre nninent and prosperous position.
The gi eat saving to the consumer, the small portion of room requi-
site for it he erection of the apparatus, the simplicity of its working,
and the bi illiancy of the gas, will insure the adoption of the invention
throughout the kingdom ; and although the public can be supplied at
a price which will defy competition, the Company can confidently
hold out to those disposed to become shareholders a return upon
, their capital of not less than fifty per cent.
The Company being far advanced, will be in a situation, when fully
ref Tistered, to take contracts immediately.
A tpplications for shares, in the usual form, to be made to, and

at tia e Company's offices, where may be seen the apparatus at work,
and 1 :he brilliancy of the gas exemplified.
