PROSPECTUS.
The object which the promoters of this Company are desirous of
attaining is the establishment of a direct railway communication be-
t:ven the important towns of Harwich, via Colchester and Cam-
bridge ; and they have most carefully selected that line which, by the
report of the engineers, appears to be the best calculated to benefit
the public, by its direct nature, and by its encroaching as little as
possible on valuable and ornamental property. The line is intended
to commence at the Hythe of Colchester, and extend to the terminus
of the line projected by Mr. Locke from llarwich to Colchester—from
thence the line will be continued through the important and populous
towns of Fordb am, Wake's Colne, Earl's Colne, Halstead, Sible Heding-
ham, Castle Hedingham, Great Yeldham, Ridgewell,Sturmer, Haver-
hill, Great and Little Abington, and Linton, and will effect a junction
with the Nerth-Eastern Railway at a point a little below Shelford,
and terminate at Cambridge.
The total length of the line will be 37 miles, and the promoters
have great pleasure in stating that the country offers great facilities
for the formation of a railway, and that there are no engineering
difficulties. The land is of a rich nature, and the neighbouring
country abounds NA ;th antiquities and beautiful scenery.
In offering this project to public notice, the promoters feel them-
selves called upon to explain their reasons for introducing a scheme
which may be considered as competing with a line already adver-
tised from Harwich to Cambridge, and they feel satisfied that after a
perusal of the facts which have induced them to pursue this course,
it will be admitted that the advantages offered by the present pro-

ject are superior in every respect to those of any other line.
The Commissioners on Ilarbours of Refuge have determined on
