tions he made the total expenditure on the railway
upwards of 3,000,0001. for its completion.
The CHAIRMAN said that upwards of 300,0001. was
deficient in the calls. _ _

Mr. WisHAw wished to know why Mr. Yates had
,resigned his situation as superintendent of the line,
and whether that resignation had been an inconvenience
to the Company. He wished to know also what the
actual cost of the railway was likely to be.
The CHAIRMAN said the less that was said on that
subject by the friends of Mr. Yates the better. His
resignation had not been an inconvenience to the
Company. The cost of the railway, as was stated at
the last meeting, would be about 2,691,0001. This
was the statement they made at the last meeting, and
this was the statement they adhered to now.
After a very long discussion, the motion that the
Report be received, adopted, and printed, was put and
carried.

The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution was em-
powering the Company to raise 220,0001. upon loan
notes. This resolution was put and carried.
A resolution was then passed, empowering the Di-
rectors to apply to Parliament for a Bill to continue
the line of railway to Dover under Arch Cliff Fort.
This resolution was passed without comment.
The resolution come to at the last meeting, forfeit-
ing certain shares, was confirmed.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution to em-
power the Company to go to Parliament for a Bill
to form a branch of the railway to the Grange, near
the Bricklayers' Arms, and to erect a station.
A great deal of discussion ensued upon this reso-
lution ; several Proprietors opposed it, as not tending
to benefit the Company.
Mr. LEVY said that the principal trade would be
in hops, and it was well known that as Southwark
was the great hop-market that the dealers would, as
a matter of course, go to London Bridge rather than
send waggons to the Grange. He should, therefore,
propose, as an amendment to the resolution, that the
subject be taken into consideration that day twelve-
months. Considerable discussion!arose upon this, and
The CHAIRMAN said the Directors would abide
by the decision of the meeting. He could only
say that the ground could now be got for a low sum,
and if they delayed, they might not have an opportu-
nity of purchasing it except at an enormous outlay, as
the place would soon be built upon. If at any future
time the Proprietcat should see the policy of purchas-
ing this land, and the present proposition were reject-
ed, he hoped they would not blame the Directors.
The amendment was then put and lost.
The original resolution, which empowered the
Directors to go to Parliament, either in conjunction
with or without the Croydon Company, for the Bill,
was put and carried.
A resolution was then proposed, empowering the
Directors to sell the forfeited shares.
This resolution was carried.
A vote of thanks was then carried to the Chairman,
and the meeting separated at four o'clock.
