Since the formation of the Company fbr making this railway, and
the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms-
ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe-
rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by
the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons
for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the Provisional
Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of
their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and
Brandon line at Thetford; thereby to complete the shortest and best
communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the
old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk,
and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the
great trunk lines of the north and west.
For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only
12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmund's and Thetford, the Provisional
Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of
10,000 additional shares; and, for full particulars of the entire plan,
refer to their original prospectus.
The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to
bring it before Parliament in the present session in a substantive form,
it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other
lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the
Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong
impression made, notwithstanding, is its favour, is obviously appa-
rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other.
The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad-
vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th,
1845) that "It is necessary to advert to a railway called
BurytheChelms-
Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament,

'to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a
mere populous district than that intended to be traversed by the
London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it
may be done at a moderate cost;' (while) "there is a strong local
feeling in its favcur, evinced by the memorials which have been re-
ceived by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree,
Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury."
The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only
rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the
Chairman (Lord Sandon), previous to giving a decision against the
Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was
decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme."
