TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

STR,

wE the undersigned having observed in the
" Times " of this day, headed " Railway Speculation," an
extract from a Parliamentary return whereby it is show* that large
sums have been subscribed by us, beg to state that such subscriptions
were made by us in onr official capacity as Directors of the South-
Eastern Railway Company, representing the body of Proprietors, and
that we did so subscribe under an engagement to distribute rateably
among the Proprietors the Shares represented by such subscriptions.
These facts have been duly proved before the Committee of the
House of Commons on Standing Orders.

The execution of the Parliamentary Subscription Contract was
confined to the Directors for the sake of economy, and it was
adopted under professional advice.
We are, Sir, your most obedient servants,
JOHN KIRKLAND, Chairman.
FRAS. MILLS, Depaty-Chairman.
For ourselves and behalf of
WM. H. THOMAS. ROBT. BROWNE.
