At the ORDINARY HALF-YEARLY MEETING of the

1847, at the Exchange Hall, Nottingham, for the purpose of
receiving a statement of the proceedings of the Directors, and
' the accounts of the Company,
W. F. N. NORTON Enquire ' the Chair,
The following REPORT was read the Secretary : •
Since the last Ordinary Meeti f the Proprietors, your Di-
rectors have contracted with . ythes, for the formation of
that portion of the Line vveen Bottesford and Grantham,
including the Gonerb ill Tunnel, and the Canal Branch
(about eight miles) the works are progressing to the satis-
faction of your Direetors.
They have also been called upon by the Midland Company, to
fulfil the agreement entered into far the joint construction of
the four miles west of Nottingham to Bulwell, which will effect
a large saving to this Company.
Yourc Directors have not deemed it prudent to enter into any
‘llit'li:eContracts or to incur any other liabilities, in consequence

PQwnction of the Half-yearly Meeting, in February last, applied
erliament to deviate the Line,, and by increasing their

Lino Compan's Trains would ass over the about two miles, the Midlandhave Comptoapny had the power Lincoln to

z-I,"ce! Your Directors deemed it advisable to apply to Parlia-
MC' Lo effect the above objects, and -they congratulate the
areholders in having succeeded upon terms greatly to the
in-tvatsatage of the Company. After the Bill had been introduced
an„-° arbament, the Midland Company met your Directors in
ve •
„ liberal and friendly spirit, and after some negotiations,
tisgreement was entered into under, the Corporate seals of
ompany, by which the Midland Company consented to
repeal so much of the Lincoln Act, as enabled them to charge
d the six miles rate, and a clause to that effect has been intro-
need into their amended Act, by which this Company nay a

In 'consequence of this agr:einteliT, Directors only pro-

The concessions and powers thus secured, are of the tmost importance and advantage to the Company. The u
most cotiVe:
itient Stations and ample accommodation for Passengers and
Merchandize will be provided, both at Nottingham and Amber
Gate, and the saving in the outlay of capital,. as 'wen as time
and the convenience to the public will be greatly-effected. As
the Traffic in Coal, Corn, Cattle, the d

rained by the possession of the Canal Wharf asof the first
consideration, as it gives to this Company the best Trading
position in the Town-ef Nottingham,
which could nototherwise
have been secured, except at an enormous, sacrifice of money.
The future prosperity apd almost vitality of the Line were
' most severely attacked,during. the last Sssion of Parliament,
by the Great:Northermand Eastern Counties Companies. The
lift:Tier projected a Line from Gosberton on the Boston loop, to
line Mill, North of Grantham , and the latter,projected
