,esidenee, and Profession of a Referee—

NEWARK AND SHEFFIELD RAILWAY.—
rIPHE Committee of Management beg to announce to
1. the Shareholders, that they have every reason to be-
lieve the bill was defeated in committee by the production,
on the part of their opponents, of an alternative line, the
plan and section of which the promoters of the bill were
not allowed any opportunity of testing before the case was
closed ; they have since done so. and ascertained the sec-
tion to be most incorrect; in fact, 20 chains longer than
it ought to have been, by which the gradients were of
course proportionably flattened.
The discovery and proof of this error have not, how-
ever, been deemed of sufficient importance to warrant a
recommittal of the bill.
The very general support which the Newark and Shef-
field line, with its extensions, has received, coupled with
the strong recommendation from the board of trade on
public grounds, affords the best assurance that it must ob-
tain the sanction of the legislature in the next session of
parliament.
In the meantime, a new and careful survey of the whole
line will be made by skilful engineers, and every requisite
means adopted, by such modifications of the original line
and addi,ional extensions, as will render the scheme as
perfect as possible, and secure the interests of the share-
holders.
An account of the expenses will be made up as soon as
possible, and the shareholders who wish to withdraw from
the undertaking are requested to give notice of their in-
tion to the Secretary before the Ist of August next. All
persons who do not give such intimation previous to that
date will be held as participating in the amended project.
By order,
JOHN DENNISTON, Secretary.
