Resolved,—That the conduct of Mr. W. H. Ashurst having been
publicly impugned in letters Inserted in the newspapers under the
signature of George Remington, and this Board knowing that those
imputations were, and are, wholly unfounded, deem it right to de-
clare that, to their knowledge, ➢ir. Ashurst's conduct, in connexion
with the formation of this Company and its line of railway, was in
every respect consistent with honour and professional integrity,
and that he never submitted Mr. Remington's line of railway, or
any ether line of railway, to. the promoters of this Company, but
simply urged upon them the importance of a direct line of railway
between London and Manchester.

The Directors also think it right further to state that Mr. Re-
mington -has addressed a letter to Mr. Ashurst entirely retracting
the charges which he had made against him in the letters written
and published in Mr. Reming,ton's name.

At a Board of Directors of this Company, held at these offices the
22d day of October, 1845,
It was unanimously resolved,
First—That the East India Railway Company was formed in the
spring of this year, after many months of preliminary discussion and
communication with official anthorities, for the purpose of carrying
out the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of
ailways into India.
Secpnd—Tkat the promoters of the undertaking 'abstained from
adopting any measures towards the formation of a company until
they had satisfied themselves of the disposition of the Government
of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid in some shape,
on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object
being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the line of railway,
which should be selected by Government, with the ulterior exten-
sions and developments consequent upon it.
Third—That, in furtherance of these views, the Managing Director
of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last,
accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making the
necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer-
taining the views of the local Government, prior to the final arrange-
ments for commencing operations.
Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of several
years of preliminary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that,
subject to any unforseen circumstances, the line from Calcutta to
the north-western provinces, by Mirzapore, was the most needed by
India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment
of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the
first communication with the Government, the selection being left to
the Government.
Fifth—That subsequent to the formation of this Company, various
projects have been announced to the public for constructing railroads
in Western India, some of them forming part and portion of the
scheme of the East Indian Railway Company, and to which the
surreys and tke operations of the Committee in Calcutta may pos-
sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de-
sign of Government.
Sixth—That under these circumstances it appears to this Board to
be their imperative duty in the interest of this Company to adopt
such measures as will have the effect of securing to the Company tho
benefit of their original scheme In its full integrity.
Seventh—That with this view, and in order to prove to the Go-
vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements
which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con-
struction of railways on an extended so/ale (in the event of its being
essential to the scheme of the Government so to commence), it is
desirable that the capital of this Company should be increased to ten
millions, by the issue of new shares.
Eighth—That 128,000 shares of 501. each be created, en which a
deposit of ss. will be forthwish payable ; that of this number 80,000
shares be distributed rateably among the approved holders of the
Scrip already issued, in the proportion of one new for one old share;
and that the remaining shares, subject to the necessary allotment to
the new Directors, be reserved to be disposed of hereafter, as may be
found advantageous for the interests of the undertaking.
Ninth—That these resolutions be advertised in the Daily News-
papers, for the information of the Proprietors and the public.
GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman.
In conformity with the above arrangement it is requested that all
holders of scrip desirous of availing themselves of the above provi-
sions, do send in their scrip on or before the 20th November next,
accompanied by an application addressed to tile Secretary in the fel-
owing form:—

The first 'object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route
and to supply an important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western aid midland
districts.

Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and llolbeacle Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, au almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birneffigham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Treut, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway_
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirtyjmiles. There is no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary ; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will Wain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at. Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
in active progress, and contracts have been entered hate which en-
sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
Forms of application ter shares, plans, and prospectuses may be
had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra-
falgar-square, Charing• cross, where applications for shares, accom-
panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Provi-
sional Committee.
