which the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company has re-
sponded to the appeal addressed to them, in a memorial signed by
the most influential landed proprietors and others interested in this
locality, by affording their prompt and zealous aid in forming and
supporting a line of railway from Leominster by this town to unite
with the Great Eastern and Western Railway near the city of Wor-

their schemes ; and that th. 3 warmest thanks of this meeting be con-
veyed, through the Chairman, to tho Great Eastern and Western
