wickshire and Worcestershire, in the manufacturing towns
and ports of the North.
Tne line will be easy of construction, traversing as it
does, though nearly its whole length, the valleys of the
Avon and Severn. The towns through which it will run
are very populous, and the country of the richest descrip-
tion • and the local traffic will consequently be very great
in addition to the through traffic, which on such a I.ne
must be very extensive.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the
power to amalgamate with any other Company, as to the
whole or any part of the line, and to vary and extend the
line, and to increase or diminish the capital accordingly, if
deemed expedient.
The capital proposed to be raised, is £1,000,000, in
shares of £2O each, upon which a deposit of £2 2s. per
share must be paid upon allotment.
The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the
Act to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the
capital stock, and power will be applied for in the Act to
allow interest at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum on
the amount of the deposit and upon the respective calls,
lour the date of each payment until the opening of the
line.

The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary
Contract will be required to be duly executed when the
bankers' receipts are exchanged for certificate of scrip, of
which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
persons making default in due execution of the Subcri-
hers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the
time to be limited by such notice will be absolutely for-
feited.
