"RAILWAY LITIGATION.
At ft 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 cettittfitt.e-ineti, shareholders, and applicanta for
flifthek to elicit the actual circumstances of various
projects (matters far too weighty and important for indivi•
atm' responsibility), a confidential meeting be speedily convened of
Plates who are interested in these objects."

' 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 entitteeted with railways find themselves
' Placed, peet iliddettrients are offered to the etiiitatite tit jiiet de,
rMehtiA, and to the enforcement of groundless claims; In either case
posing very serious expenses, .amounting in the one to the denial
ofjustice, and in the other to the it fliction of positive wrong.
. It Is obvious that individuals having to enforce their rights against,
or to-resist unwarrantable claims by bodies Corporate in their cite=
1 • ratter, and having in their hands large funds, will do so at a serious
, disadvantage, 'without an arrangement for co-operation Auld mutual
1-_. assistance, and the aid of a subscribed fund. It is therefore agreed
• :;that a fund shall be litiliired ti-y
aubiiiiption, and that the following
• rules and regulations shall be binding upon the members of the
' Society.

tailed the Council, shall be appointed to conduct the business of the

the Council, shall be necessary to all decisions touching the institution
' or defence of proceedings at law or in equity.
• That the Council shell consider the case of any member of the
Society lablOt 'tidy be brought before them, and shall advise whether
No, ittid iihat proceedings shall be taken, either at law, in equity, or
•- otherwise, for the protection or assertion of the rights of such meta-
, bar, and that all such proceedings as may be suggested by the Council
Shall be submitted to the solicitors of the Society.
1 • That, for the guidance of the C+ uncil, 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.
That the minim of persons seeking to become members of the So-
' -‘ filti.Y Mali be submitted to the Council, who shall have the absolute
,„ Power of admission.

' ell appropriate and reasonable, or of placing the business in other

Offices of the Company and Working Factories, 159, Drury-lane.
_ The Company is formed for the purpose of carrying out, more ef-
' rectually working, and bringing into general use, an invention se-
, eared by letters patent for an improved manufacture of gas.
, The apparatus is so portable it can be fitted up on any descrip-
lion of building, even at a kitchen range, without affecting the do-
' kestic arrangements, and the 11re used in ordinary in generating the
*, 6, will be ample to produce steam for warming the most extensive
Remises.
...The most eminent engineers and chemists unite in opinion that
'tie invention is not only practicable and free from smell or annoy-
!nee, but by this valuable patent is secured the manufacture of a
nre and superior gas, not only on new, but esund, scientific, chemical,
wild mechanical principles, which have been hitherto overlooked in
the common modes of manufacture ' • besides, this gas possesses more
of the illuminating 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
UDecially stnalltoWlll, villages, lighthouses, colleges, churches, dock-
,_,Lrds, theatre*, public offices, prisons, barracks, railway stations,
rhtlfactOries, printing-offices, madhouses, hospitals, and schools,
and warming the buildings, without extra expense.
.--he benefits which would accrue to lighthouses, dockyards, and
nntnerou4 localities, where the ordinary gas cannot be conveyed
Vtithout the formation of many new Acts and Companies, or at im-
lnellse expense, would be sufficient to obtain for this Company the
Meat prominent and prosperous position.
Th. great saving to the consumer, the small portion of room requi-
Site for the erection of the apparatus, the simplicity of its working,
and the brilliancy of the gas, will insure the adoption of the invention
throughout the kingdom ; and although the public can be supplied at
It 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
registered, to take contracts immediately.
Applications for shares, in the usual form, to be made to, and
flirther particulars obtained of, the Solicitor, and also the Secretary,
It the Company's offices, where may be seen the apparatus at work,
and the brilliancy of the gas exemplified.
