CHRISTOPHER BRAMWELL, Esq.,the Chairman of the
Company, briefly stated the business to be considered,
which was, that a late special meeting it was agreed to
raise the capital of 180,0001. required tor the new works,
and other requisite changes connected with the working
of the line, by the issuing of 6,000 new shares, at 30/.
each, the subscribers of which were to be guaranteed 5
per cent. per annum for Cicir capital till the pi oposed
alterations came into operation, when the whole of the
new shares were to merge in the common stock of
ft(-• C9witany, and the new and old Shareholders were
then to participate alike in the profits and liabilities o
the entire line. It was now proposed that this planf
should be cancelled, and that the new shares should be
issued at 401. each, to the extent of four thousand five
hundred, and that the present Proprietors should hare
the option of taking them in proportion to the shares
now held by each in the Company ; and that the new
shares of 401. each so created should have a guarantee in
perpetuity secured to them of five per cent. per tinnem
interest, reserving also to the new Shareholders tine
right of participating in any greater dividend that may
at any time be realised from the profits of the railway.
F, ;Mr. J. J. WRIGHT, in a long and energetic speech,
advocated the adoption of this plan, and submitted a re-
solution to carry it into effect, which was seconded by
Mr. T. Reed, and cordially received by the meeting.
