MANCHESTER & CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY
COMPANY AND THE TAMWORTH MEETING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAFFORDSHIRE ADVERTISER.
Manchester, 22d Decenster, 1836.
Qlll,—ln the Papers which contain a Report of 'the Proceed-
t) ings at a recent Meeting in Tamworth, got up, I presume,
by the Friends and Supporters of the Derby.ind Birmingham
and South Union Railway Companies, Lend it stated that
" notice of the Meeting had been previously; sent to the respec-
tive Companies, by which lines had been projected in the
neighbourhood of that place."
I think it necessary, in reply to this statement, to apprise the
public that no notic, of the intended sleeting was given to the
Committee of the '..`4 anchester and Cheshire Junction Railway
Company, and that the first ibintiation of such Meeting having
been holden was conveyed by the public Itesolut!ons.
