Originating at Bicester, by a junction with the Oxford and Cam-
bridge line through Wolverton, in connexion with the Eastern Coun-
ties, the South and Midlands Junction will afford facility of inter-
course with the metropolis in one direction, with Stadord, the Pot-
teries, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester in the other ; near
Woodstock, close to which the projected line will pass, the Oxford
and Rugby and Oxford and Worcester Railways cross, presenting
opportunities of entering the two great railway arteries of the king-
dom—the Great Western and the London and Birmingham, the for-
mer at Dndcot, the latter at Rugby.
Proceeding to the manufacturing town of Witney, a line is crossed
communicating with the Stroudwater district of manufactures by the
Oxford and Cheltenham Railway, thence the projected line trends di-
rectly S.W., leaving Bampton to the east, until it reaches Lechladc,
a town seated at the afilux of the Thames and Severn navivation
with the River Thames, and where a considerable eutrepot for mer-
chandise is established.
Keeping within easy distances at Farringdon, Cricklade, and High-
worth, it reaches Swindon, a rapidly improving vicinity. At this
principal station, where the broad gauge is crossed, the Gloucester
and Cheltenham line falls into the Great Western.
The intersection of the South and Midland Junction with the Great
Western at Swindon opens a most extensive and valuable communi-
cation with London eastward; Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Chelten-
ham, Stroud, westward ; and, by the Gloucester and Aberystwith
projected line, with the whole of North and South Wales.

They at the same time have to express their regret that, in conse-
quence of the very numerous applications that have been made, they
are compelled, in nearly every instance, to allot less than the num-
ber required by those parties whose applications were entertained,
and in many cases to reject altogether the names of applicants of the
most undoubted respectability.
The Committee trust that those persons who do not receive letters
of allotment, will accept this explanation as a sufficient apology for
their requests not being complied with.
