This Company Is established pursuant to the following request and
uthority : --
" We, the undersigned, being interested in the trade of Manchester,
and in tip shortest and quickest intercourse between London and
Manchester, hereby express our conviction that a direct line of rail.
way between those places will give the public the greatest cheapness,
coo vcnienec, and speed.
" That it is of paramount importance to the trade, and to the
public, that they should not continue dependent for communication
with Lancashire upon one, and that a circuitous line of railway.
" That the immediate formation of a direct line is essential,
because, if delayed, it will become more and more difficult, in con-
sequence of the branch railways which local necessity will originate.
" That an independent trunk line is necessary, to guard the trade
and commerce or the metropolis and Lancashire against excessive
charges_ and the many evils of a rapidly-extending monopoly.
" We therefore authorise and request Messrs. Ashurst and. Son,
Solicitors, ana Messrs. Sudlow, Sons, and Torr, Solicitors, to take
the ticcvssary steps for the formation of a Committee, with a view
to thy adoption of such a line.
