EASTERN UNION RAIL WAY EXTENI
SION TO NORWICH AND BURY ST. EDMUND'S.
NOTICE is hereby given that the Act authorising the extension
from the Eastern Union Railway at Ipswich to Bury
St. Edmund's, has received the sanction of Parliament,
and a Company is incorporated for the construction of it,
under the title of the IPSWICH AND BURY SAINT ED-
MUND'S RAILWAY. The part so sanctioned (twenty-six mile:
in length) comprehends fifteen miles of the line to Norwich, and the
execution of the works has already been undertaken by highly re-
spectable contractors, within the estimate of the Engineer, and com-
menced. • The Directors will vigorously push forward the line, so as
to open it for traffic in twelve months from this time ; and Parliament
willibe applied to in the next session for powers to authorise the con-
struction
of the other portion (thirty miles, or thereabouts, in
length), which lies between Stowmarket and Norwich, thereby com-
pleting a communication between the important towns of Norwich,
Ipswich, and Bury, and carrying out the views of the subscribers in
forming the -shortest direct line between Norwich and London, as
effectually as if the whole project had succeeded this year.
To give effect to these arrangements, Proprietors of the Scrip
issued for the Extensions are required to forward them to the Offices
of the Company, Brook-street, Ipswich, addressed to the Secretary,
stating at the same time their Christian and surnames, place of
abode, and designation, for the purpose of registry, on the following
terms, which have been agreed upon by the Provisional Committee
with the Board of Directors, and which they deem both equitable
and advantageous to the Proprietors, viz. :
They will, on transmitting their Scrip, be registered in the Ips-
wich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Company, to the extent of
two-fifths of the amount of such Scrip, and receive Shares under the
Corporate Seal for the same; and as to the three-fifths, they will
remain Proprietors of that portion of the capital in a re-issue of
Scrip, on which they will be credited with the deposits already made
in respect of it last year, and be subjected to no other call or deposit
until a further Act of Parliament is obtained.

No other persons are entitled to be Shareholders in the New Com-
pany than those who are Proprietors of Eastern Union Extension
Scrip Shares.
The Solicitors are preparing the necessary deeds to enable the Di-
rectors to carry forward the project in the next session.
The receipt of the Scrip Certificates will be duly acknowledged, and
on the completion of the Registry, and on the signing of such Parlia-
mentary documents as are necessary, the registered Shares, and the
new Extension Scrip, will be issued to the persons who may transmit
those now called in, and claim the conversion announced.
It is intended that the Extension to Norwich shall be prosecuted
as a continuation of the Ipswich and Bury Saint Edmund's Railway,
so that the whole shall constitute one undertaking.
The holder of Extension Scrip will forfeit all right and claim to the
New Shares in respect of which no such application for registry shall
have been received on or before the 10th day of September next, and
the person to whom the original Scrip was allotted will be recog-
nised as the Proprietor thereof.
Under the powers contained in the Ipswich and Bary Saint Ed-
mund's Act, interest at the rate of 4 per sent. will be paid to the
shareholders on the deposit and all calls made while the works are in
operation—such interest commences from the passing of the Bill on
the 21st ultimo.

The First Ordinary Meeting under the Act, will take place at the
offices of the Company, in Ipswich, on Friday, the 12th day of Sep-
tember next, when none but registered Shareholders will be entitled
to vote.
