Copy Of it Leiter addressed to George Madsen, Esq., M.P.,
ehairmau of the Eastern Counties Railway.
London anti York Railway,
Itr Office, 7, Lothbury, Dec, 16, 1845.
I, ,r—The Directors of this Iltiard ve aken ito consideration
Cbth,:i•attil of the 3d instant, wherein ha t n
on behalf of the Eastern
.i.".,,`Ps Railway, you make the following proposition, viz :
%eat the Shareholders of the London and York Company shall be
,14113ated with those of the Eastern Coonties Company, and
b..44o3ProPriPited tO them 2,0011,000 f. Of Eastern Coiltitiel fitdck, lit
clita.. of 202. each, and that a deputation from each Board shall
kie h'uu determine upon all other matters,"
441,4,.4.Ye requested me to forward to you the following reply :
, "2 Proposition virtually suggests, that we shoold disregard the
fttsll:fof the Committee on tirotip X. (which in the last iiessitift of
tepo7tiletat sat for more than eighty days), and throw overboard their
qatii carried by a majority Of three to one, in favour of the merits

It% millions - of stock in the Eastern Counties Railway (which
Nibio.
t oerto paid lest than two per cent.), and which two
„14 r, as being, in your own view, of greater value than
„'slti the'c millions of our own. It must, however, be remarked.
tog :incorporation of this 2,000,0001. of stock with that of
mlelbrern Counties depends upon the assent of Parliament to your
kit a,u rilemes from CaMbridde to York, Which were laSt stint-
11lre :LIS lit before the elittirrienB, and there distinctly negatived, and
Pti W/1045)1'e, to security that this allotment of stock would
blekti,..egallsed.—So much for the bearing of your proposition on the
't4,TrY interests of our shareholders.
ki tiZ, Public you propose a scheme repudiated by a Select Corn-
.▪
ul 1845,a scheme avoiding nearly every town that ours would
n' and longer than ours from twelve to fifteen miles, leaving the
witk„. berdering on the Great North-road from London to York

../Poaktuerefore unanimously feel that an acceptance of your offer
kbe,. a gross breach of faith with the public and the original

re, and ant th
eabandonment of our pledges to the landowners
kakisonabitantstowns through which our line is intended to
ktr„lto 'Wee embarked considerable capital in the undertaking.
~,,. fittention cannot have been seriously directed to the eleventh
t4Ctii;‘ Of the report of the Committee on Group X, for there the
ist,,:f4ur schente are minutely contrasted with yours, amd the
0,1.4 decidedly given to ours, in the following terms :-
011 D Courtenay reported from the Select Committee on the
1# ij
j.,,4, )of Railways, That—A Report from the Board of Trade
rkb: subject of railway communication between London and
tZititik4ing been referred to them by the House, the Committee
h v:, Mit N state that they have not adopted the recommenda-
m-44pi'clt it contains, while they concur with the Board of Trade in
ien expressed in that Report, .(rhat the London and York
No,. on the whole presents a larger and more compre .
gthe 's system of communication ;' they. have been led by the eyl-
k4adduced in support respectively by the two schemes to a dir-
' conclusion from that at which the Board of Trade has arrived.
sfo„nit had the opportunity of examining the estimates of the cost
kr ti,ltZaction more thoroughly than it can have been practicable
fermiiokrd of Trade to have done, and having been led to a dif-
to,Mpari°,n,„clUsien upon that point, they have decided, upon a full
L's tkat ~-"n of the evidence, on preferring the London and York line
'towin'°Eubination of lines recommended by that Board, for the
is.. g !Mong other reasons :
Loildo'n Because it affords the best through communication between
41tilii,„!Tul York, by a new trunk line half-way between the London
"uslat,Tunehatn and the Northern and Eastern lines, thus accom-
c4o4„,ug a larger district otherwise unprovided with north and south
kstr"wnication, and tieing a fresh exit from, and entrance into, the
wp}o,,,, lit,
„Nt'ollecause it places a large number of market towns on the
vit u line, giving them in addition good:communication with each
;. .
104417 ih, ..--Because It affords to the public a better security that the
,
44,_e of railway communication which it seeks to effect will con-
Nat rhe under one management, and to be Independent of other
I. 4,thas of railway.
17 —Because they consider that though in the first instance the
thee of the Board of Trade may be more cheaply executed than
alint taPeting one, it would not supply the accommodation which the
kik: of the country, through v.hich the line propose to run, de-
%',ltie and that the adoption of that scheme would probaoly
tliji,4!l)Y, itiOttive a greater outlay thin that required for the exo-
",,, ut the London and York scheme."
letb4 You permitme to ask what satisfactory reasons for accepting
R 4,. offer I could give in the House of Commons to those Members
Ish; Undertook the laborious investigation of the merits of railway
14t new
and selected ours from among the various projects as the
14, neve line between London and York? How could it be expected
144,„CommIttees would, In firture, work as they have done, if their
Clio ties are liable to be thrown to the winds, and their reports
stogh confirmed by the House, become subject to barter or sale for
ikon in a scheme which a Committee had previously discarded ?
eil:l' You believe that the House would consent to be so trifled with,
44 Pitt a Bill rejected in 1845 to pass in 1846, in lieu of that which
feat
preferred in 1845?
11114;,;:`,4t defensible statement could we make for so entire an
Wit,°urnent of our achente, when no change has taken place in any
yO circunistanets ?
kla 'lltVe upon various occasions endeavoured to decry our line,
~kI,,,PUI` success in railways has obtained for your opinion con-
Ikaieble influence ; but Parliament and the public must surely see
hi this proposal to our sharholders to give up their Bill and to
tn,,.- stock In your newly adopted line, is only a bold effort on
Is'',_Part to raise the value of the Eastern Counties Stock, and
Chairman of the Midlands, to get rid of a rival.
tern
let me ask why in your new position of Chairman to the
t.rh Counties you should he so jealous of a line passing through
ti,,furdshire and Bedfordshire, while you proclaim that the Eastern
to ties Railway, with its present lines and branches, mat be made
4,414 of the ten per:cent.—that portion of the kingdom lying upon and
1 London and Cambridge line, forming a district quite as
• 'usive as the one proposed for the London and York?
h
roti._ Yr should you wish to compel passengers to go even twelve
Nil'round by Cambridge, wick that town will certainly have its
to 'TAY to the east, west, north, and south ? Why then endeavour
~prevent Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire from having similar ad-
• ‘Qtages
:rou su'rely cannot have calculated upon our giving your proposal
oourable consideration, and you will therefore not be surprised to
to
that my colleagues unanimously decline to discuss with you so
14.casonahle a proposition as that set forth in yoor letter of the 3d,
'y.°lYing as it does a total abandonment of our whole scheme.
ou are doubtless aware that in or !er to avail ourselves of the
ofkutions of the two Houses respecting Railway Bills carried up to
el:ertain point in last session, it is necessary that the Bill and its
lt,;"ce should not be varied In the most minute particular. Our
4 ard, therefore, think it better at once to state to you, that we ean
~,,,,bore enter into any arrangement to change or give up a portion
IA Our line, as sanctioned by the House of Commons last summer,
0p we can consent to abandon the whole.
forma
shall ask leave to proceed with our Bill as rapidly as the
e„,"ls of the House will permit, having without any further call
...,-"Ple funds in hand to meet all expenses. As required by the
k,„ s“ng orders, our new are deed is in the course of signature by
oosll/1;t extensive body ofs shhareholders, notwithstanding the efforts
,
17,;lo to alarna them, more than nine-tenths of the scrip having
'btu the short interval since the 12th instant been sent to for
4„Ptiblic opinion is decidedly in favour of a new line between London
~'d York, independent of existing interests and management. We,
`nrefore, confidently expect that the merits of our scheme, which
obtained for us a verdict in the Commons, will be equally appre-
-41ed by a Committee of the Lords.
hi „I:,he interests of so large a body of shareholders being involved, it
ti “ght I should add we feel bound to make public this cornmuniea-
.s4.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
