LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY
AND
PICKFORD AND. CO.

TN consequence of various unfounded Reports having been
1 industriously circulated, relative to their arrangeg/As
with the London and Birmingham Railway Company ,441
FORD & Co. consider it advisable to make 4411 f)
statement :
,ci -affi
In the early part of 1838, they deemed it necessary ti pr -
vide a conveyance in lieu of that by boat, wliich ,-. ijt
every reason to expect would be greatly interrupt '!,, ,ii t
entirely stopped, before many months had elapsed; .true
want of water in the summit of the Grand Junctima;rmi •
They applied to the Railway Company for i3iarMyjiwo
to come upon the line at Wolverton, to which point thergg '
every probability the Railway from London would b6comi-
pleted before the anticipated interruption took place, the.ap-
plication was granted on condition that they should provide
the requisite establishments, as the Company would not have
any prepared.
By taking these precautionary measures they gave the
Public a certain and regular conveyance at a time when the
usual course of transit could not be depended upon, and it
was not till the Public were reaping the benefits of Pickford
and Co.'s early adaptation of the Railway conveyance, that
the cry of monopoly was- raised against them, because the
Company did not grant to other parties, that which the state
of their means obliged them for the present to confine to the
original applicants.
At the commencement of the present year having made an
arrangement for the conveyance of Goods on the Grand Jun-
ction Railway, (which was at that time open to carriers) they
were enabled to forward by Railway to London such of their
Goods as had passed over the Grand Junction Railway, but
no others.

Moreover these arrangements were temporary, and never
intended to last beyond the time when the Railway Com-
pany's own establishments (then in progress) should be ready,
and they had a competent supply of Waggons and Locomo-
tive Power, when, as was stated by their Circular to Carriers
early in January, it was—" Their intention to afford the ut-
most accommodation in their power to every class of Car-
riers, without preference or exclusive privilege to any one."
It will be seen therefore that the alleged monopoly" of
Pickford and Co. amounts to this : that anticipating inter-
ruptions to the Carriage of Goods by Canal, they entered
into arrangements with the Railway Company, at very con-
siderable expense to themselves, to prevent any inconvenience
being felt by the public.

Pickford and Co. beg also the public will 'inform them-
selves of the result of the recent Petition to Parliament ; if
they are rightly informed it willbe found that the only altera-
tion has been to compel such an advance upon the Tonnages
to be charged by the Railway Company as must necessarily
keep many Goods from the line, which, were the prices suf-
fered to continue as originally intended, would have been
_conveyed that way. •
