The Directors think it right to advertise the following resolution
passed by the Directors previously to the union of the two Com-
panies :
liesolved,—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. Aahurst'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 3fr. 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. Remington's name.

At a Board of Directors of this Company, held at these offices the

It was unanimously resolved,

spring of this year, after many months of preliminary discussion and
communication with official authorities, for the purpose of carrying
out the views and objects Of the projectors in the introduction of
ailways into India;

adoptin'- measures towards the formation Of a COMpany until
thr:., had satisfied themselves of the dispesitinii of the (Is4ibininent
of India to support the undertaking by peiliiilary aid in some shape,
on which basis this Company wits accordingly established, its object
being (as stated in the )irospectus) to execute the line of railway
which should be selected by Govenunerit, With the iilteria exten-
sions and developments consequent upon it,
Third—That, in furtherance Of those Xiews, the Managing Director
of tkis Company prOce&ked to Calcutta in the month of Jnly last,
accompanied ha', a -Alit of surveyors, for the purpose of making the
neteeeitty 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 nnforseen 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 seleettQLl heir,' ' -
left to
the Government.
Fifth—That subsequent to the formatie"
railroads various
projects have been announced to .'
