This line of railway is intended to connect Leicester and the Mid-
land Counties with the mining districts of South Staffordshire, and to
open a direct communication with the Staffordshire Potteries and
the great towns of Liverpool and Manchester.
It will commence at Leicester, and running through or near to
Market Bosworth, will join the Trent Valley Railway near its inter-
section with the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Tamworth,
affording from thence a direct communication by way of Lichfield,
to Walsall, Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and thence by the Grand
Junction and North Staffordshire Railways to Liverpool, Manchester,
and the Potteries.
The most direct through traffic will be conveyed by this Line from
Leicester to the important Railway points of Tamworth and Lich-
field; and consequently the nearest access will be obtained to the
immensely populated Iron and Coal Districts of South Staffordshire,
the Western Counties of England, and the great shipping town of
Liverpool.
The length of the line will be about 24 miles. It has been care-
fully surveyed, and reported to be well adapted to form an excellent
and direct communication between Leicester and Tamworth, at less
than the ordinary expense of construction.
The Capital intended to be raised is 400,0001., divided into 20,000
Shares of 201. each ; a deposit of 21. 2s. per Share will be required to
be paid upon the allotment, to the credit of the Directors, in account
with the Bankers of the Company.
The Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will be,
required to be duly executed, when the Banker's receipts are ex-
changed for Scrip Certificates, of which due notice will be given ;
and the Deposits paid by parties making default in the execution of
the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement within the
time limited, will be absolutely forfeited.
A preference will be given in the allotment of the Shares to parties
locally interested in the Line, and to Shareholders in the Trent
Valley Railway.
Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Secretary, at the
Company's Offices, 4, Coleman-street, London ; to the Solicitors ; to
Messrs. Aston and Scott, stock brokers, Throg-morton-street, and

cester ; Messrs. Eyre and Son, Derby ; and Messrs Sohmes and Tripp,

ference to a merni,er of the Provisional Committee, one of the solici-
tors, or a Banker.
