This Company is established pursuant to the fo:I.OWIng request and
utherity :--
" We, the undersigncd, being interested in the tradeof Milnehester,
and in shortest and quickest intercourse between London and
Nanchoster, hereby express our conviction that a direct line of rail-
way bct..veen those places will give the public thegreatest cheapness,
convenience, and speed.
"That it is of paramount importance to the trade, and to the
publio, that they should not continue dependent for communication
with Lancashire upon one, and that a circuitous line of railway.
" That the immediate formation of a direct line is essential,
because, if delayed, it will become more and more difficult, in con-
.aequence of the branch railways which local necessity will originate.
" That an-independent trunk line is necessary, to guard the trade
and ommerce of the metropolis and Lancashire against excessive
cliarols: and the many evils of a rapidly-extending monopoly.
.• We therefore authorise and request Messrs. Ashurst and Son,
Solicitors, and Messrs. Sudlow, Sons, and Torr, Solicitors, to take
tho neaossary steps for the formation of a Committee, with a view
to 00., a 10:,ti(),' of ouch a line.
