That this meeting, having taken into consideration the different
lines of Railway projected from the west to the east, passing through

Gate, Nottingham, and Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway,
commencing at the terminus of the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock,
and Midland Juntion Railway, at Amber Gate, and going from thence
by Nottingham and Grantham, to Spalding and Boston, is the best
calculated to promote the interests of this town and neighbourhood.
Which amendment, having been put to the meeting, was declared,
on a division, to be carried.

Moved by the Rev. Wm. Povcnarr, Vicar of Grantham, seconded
by Mr. THOMPSON, aid resolved unanimously :
That this meeting is further of opinion that the Amber Gate, Not-
tingham and Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway, is especially en-
titled to the support of the inhabitants of this district, inasmuch as it
has become united with the Grantham Canal Navigation, from which
the town of Grantham has, for many years past, derived great and
important benefits ; and inasmuch as it has the full approval of the
principal landed proprietors of this neighbourhood.
