TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE SHREWS--
BURY, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND SOUTH
STAFFORDSHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
GENTLEMEN,

T BEG to annex you a copy of the Report of the Di-
rectors to the late General Meeting, and of the proceedings
thereat. In explanation, lam directed to inform you that the
Act of Parliament authorizes the construction of a Railway
from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton, with a Branch to Coal-
brookdale, the Capital being One Million, to be equally divided
between tie Shareholders in the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton,
and South Staffordshire Junction Company and the Shrewsbury
and Birmingham Company. As however the original Share-
holders in the latter Company had, previously to the amalga-
mation with this Company, agreed to subscribe the sum of
£300,000 (being one-fourth of the Capital required) towards the
formation of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour
Valley Railway, (with which the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton,
and South Staffordshire Company have nothing to do,) it is
provided in the Act, as one of the terms of the amalgamation,
that two Classes of Shares shall be created, to be termed re-
spectively Class A shares and Class B shares. The latter Class
represents half the above-mentioned Capital of £1,000,000,
£500,000,) required for constructing the line from Shrews-
bury to Wolverhampton; and the Class A shares represent the
other half of that Capital together with the additional sum of
£300,000 to be subscribed on account of that Class exclusively
towards the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley
Line. The position of the two classes of the Shareholders will
therefore be as follows :—assuming that (as it is presumed will
be the case) the holders of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton,
and South Staffordshire Junction Scrip claim the shares to
which they are entitled, then Class A will have 52,000 shares of
.€••9lsl72ss..93dd..eaecalict,, Cclhassshßarethweillsabnei ec

deposit. The original number of Shrewsbury, Wolverhamp-
ton, and South Staffordshire shares having been only 26,000,
two of the new shares of ~f 9 12s. 3d., making together £l9 4s.
Gd., will be issued in respect of each one of those original shares
of £25, but not.,unless you forthwith send to me at this office
your original Scrip, with a request (in the annexed form) to be
registered for the above shares in the amalgamated company.
In exchange for your Scrip you will forthwith receive certifi-
cates for your new shares in the amalgamated company. It is
my duty particularly to point out to you the necessity of your
immediate attention to this matter.

And I have the honour to he

Your very obedient Servant,
JAMES WHITNEY, Secretary
Wolverhampton, November 3d. 1846.

*Since the above circular was published, the Directors have
ascertained fully the liabilities of the Company, the demands
against them being all obtained—and they have great pleasure
in stating that the amount is not so great as they anticipated.
They have also allotted the whole number of Shares remaining
in their hands at t 2 10s. deposit, thus dividing those expenses
over a greater number of shares and adding a proportionate
sum to the balance in their Bankers' hands. They have, there-
fore, the satisfaction of informing you that instead of 128. per
share, they are now in a position to pay over the sum of 14s. as
a deposit—and that from arrangements proposed to the Direc-
tors of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, they fully
anticipate the whole amount originally paid, viz , &1 ss. on the
Class B shares, will be ultimately given credit for in the books
of the amalgamated Company ; in any event, whatever sum the
Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company take for expenses from
their deposits on Class A shares, the like amount will be cre..
dited to holders of Class B shares.
Shares to be sent in for Registration on or before the
10th of December next.
