ItAILWAY LITIGATION.
At a preliminary meeting of persons interested, held the 2d
day of December, 1845,
D. W. HARVEY, Esq., in the Chair;
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 for indivi •
dual responsibility), a confidential meeting be speedily convened of
parties who are interested in these objects.
It was further resolved,—That Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores,
Throgmorton-street, be appointed solicitors, to whom persons in-
clined to co-operate are invited to send their names and addresses,
who will be apprised of the proposed meeting.
