The Directors think it right to advertise the following resolution
passed by the Directors previously to the union of the two Com-
panies :
Resolved,—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, Mr. Ashurat'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 Mr. 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
22d day of October, 1845,
It was unanimously resolved,
First—That the East India Railway Company was formed in the
spring of this year, after many months of preliminary discussion and
communication with official anthorities, for the purpose of carrying
out the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of
ailways into India.
Second— That the promoters of the undertaking -abstained ftom
adopting any measures towards the formation of a company until
they had satisfied themselves of the disposition of the Government
of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid in some shape,
on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object
being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the lino of railway,
which should be selected by Government, with the ulterior exten-
sions and developments consequent upon it.
Third—That, in furtherance of these views, the Managing Director
of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last,
accompanied by a staff of surreyors, for the purpose of making the
necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of aseer-
taiMng the views of the local Governmont, 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 unforseen 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 hi the
first communication with the Government, the selection being left to
the Government.
Fifth—That subsequent to the formation of this Company, various
projects have bees announced to the public for constructing railroads
in Western India, some of them forming part and portion of the
scheme of the East Indian Beltway Company, and to which the
surveys and the operations of the Committee in Calcutta may pos-
sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de-
sign of Government.
Sixth—That under these circumstances it appears to this Board to
be their imperative duty in the interest of this Company to adopt
snch measures as will have the effect of securing to the Company the
benefit of their original scheme in its fell integrity.
Seventh—That with this view, and in order to prove to the Go-
vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements
which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con-
struction of railways on an extended softie (in the event of its being
essential to the scheme of the Government so to commence), it is
desirable that the capital of this Company should be increased to ten
millions, by the issue of new shares.
Eighth—That 128,000 shares of 501. each be created, en which a
deposit of ss. will be forthwish payable ; that of this number 80,000
shares be distributed rateably among the approved holders of the
Scrip already issued, in the proportion of one new for one old share;
and that the remaining shares, subject to the necessary allotment to
the new Directors, bo reserved to be disposed of hereafter, as may be
found advantageous for the interests of the undertaking.
Ninth —That these resolutions be advertised in the Daily News-
papers, for the information of the Prlprietors and the public.
GEORGE LA.RPENT, Chairman.
In conformity with the above arrangement it is requested that all
holders of scrip desirous of availing themselves of the above provi-
