THE DIRECT LONDON and EXETER
RAILWAY (with EXTENSION to FALMOUTH end
PENZANCE).
The Committee of Management hereby give Notice that they
have COMPLETED the ALLOTMENT of SHARES, and that the
usual letters are this day issued. In the arduous duty of deciding on
claims unprecedented, it is believed, in their number and respecta-
bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap.•
plicants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for filo Company
a large share of legitimate influence. The numerous persons, with
undoubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose
applications have either been passed over or cut down, are requested
to accept this reason as the Committee's apology.
The Committee desire to add, that while attestations of public
support are daily reaching them from the most influential quarters,
the engineering preparations, under Mr. Braithwaite, are so far ad-
vanced, that the project cannot fail to be placed before Parliament in
a manner the most satisfactory to the Shareholders.
