includin" the Gonerby Hill Tunnel, and the Canal Branch
(about eight miles) and the works are progressing to the satis-
action of your Directors.
fuey have also been called upon by the Midland Company, to
lfil the agreement entered into for the joint construction of
the four miles west of Nottingham to Bidwell, which will effect
"e Bavn to this Company.
Your Dirietors have not deem ed it prudent to enter into any
ootfhtehr contracts, or to incur anyother liabilities, in consequence

' eatlY withdrew their connection, your Directors under the
