The Provisional Committee beg to announce that they have com-
pleted the allotment of shares in this undertaking, and that all the
letters of allotment have been this day posted. They regret that, in
consequence of the overwhelming number of applications for shares
which they have received, they have been compelled materially to
reduce the amounts allotted, in almost every instance, and, in
in numerous cases, wholly to pass over the claims of highly respect-
able and influential parties to whom they would have willingly made
allotments, had the number of shares at their disposal enabled them
so to do. They trust, therefore, that those applicants whose expec-
tations may have been disappointed will accept this explanation as a
sufficient apology ; and as applications for shares still continue to
arrive, the Committee are constrained to repeat mph- farmer notice,
that it is altogether out of their power to e,,ntei:tajnthm......_.

JOEMPU HIGGINS,
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the line projected by
the Worcester and South Wales Junction Hallway Company will be
the most beneficial to the town and neighbourhood of Ledbury, in-
asmuch as it will perfect a direct main trunk line of railway
from South Wales (embraclng the ports of Swansea, Cardiff, and
Newport), to Ledbury, Worcester, South Staffordshire, Birmingham,
and the North."

BEV. J. UNDERWOOD,
That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is not yet in pos-

of the respective lines."

solution was carried by acclamation.

The Committee of Management beg to inform those parties who
have applied for Shares in this undertaking that the allotment is now
completed, and that the letters of allotment will be issued on Saturday
next, the 6th instant. They regret that, in consequence of the
numerous applications, more delay hs taken place than was at first
anticipated. All applicants not receaiving letters of allotment must
not consider that their applications were overlooked, but that the
great demand for Shares over and above the number to be allotted
necessarily prevented their being granted.
The Committee are happy to be able to inform their Subscribers
that nearly the whole of the landowners along the line have promised
their support, and that they have also secured the co-operation of
many influential local gentlemen.
These advantages, coupled with the intrinsic merits of the under-
taking, lead the Committee confidently to anticipate a successful
result to their application to Parliament next session. The surveys
are being proceeded with, and all the requisite measures are being
taken fora due compliance with the standing orders.
