PENALTIES.—The Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes hereby give notice, that every person taking, killing, or
pursuing game, without first obtaining a certificate, incurs a penalty of £2O, and is also liable to be surcharged in
double the amount of the certificate duty.
Any person in pursuit of game, refusing, on being duly required, to produce his certificate, or to permit the same
to be read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his true name and place of residence, also incurs a
penalty of .£2O.
Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a certificate at the rate of £1 75. 6d. will not authorise any person to
kill game beyond the limits of the manor for which he is deputed ; and, in order that a certificate at such rate of duty
may protect a gamekeeper, it is requisite, not only that he should be deputed by some lord or lady of a manor or
reputed manor, but also that such deputation should be registered with the clerk of the peace, or the gamekeeper will
be liable to be surcharged in double the duty of £4 Os. 10d., and also be prosecuted by any common informer for the
penalty of £2O.

THE LIVERPOOL AND BURY RAILWAY.
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS.
GENTLEMEN,
THERE is to be a Meeting of your Body on the Bth
proximo, to determine, among other matters, on the
proposed amalgamation of your Company with the Man-
chester and Leeds ; and I, therefore, as one of the body
of Shareholders, beg to submit for your consideration the
following facts, in the hope that you will be induced at
once to put your veto on the scheme to be submitted to
you, satisfied as I am that your 'interests as a body will
be sacrificed by the connexion
Ist.—The Liverpo nd Bury Line (late the Bol-
ton, Wigan, and erpoel) has been held out from
the beginning, its promoters, as a 10 per cent.
line.
2nd.—l lieve it was satisfactorily proved in Par-
liament at the traffic would yield that per centage
on the capital.
3rd.—By the proposed amalgamation you will re-
ceive at most the 10 per cent. which your own line,
as an independent line, would secure to you.
Now let me at this stage ask, how do you advantage by
the amalgamation ?
But I shall tell you how you will suffer a material dis-
advantage.
As I have said, your connexion with the Manchester
and Leeds will just give you what your own line would
give you without their assistance ; and, as a consideration
for the union, the new stock which is about to be created
by your own line, to carry out its extensions and new
branches, will be distributed over the entire body of the
amalgamated Company, instead of among the Share.
holders of the original Bolton and Wigan Line,—thus
damaging your interests to a considerable extent.
Then there is the further loss you will suffer by being,
in consequence of this proposed amalgamation, excluded
from a participation in the stock of the Liverpool and
Leeds Direct project, and which are now done at a high
premium.
Let me tell you what my opinion is : this scheme ap-
pears to me to have been got up by the Manchester and
Leeds Company, for no other purpose than crippling the
Liverpool and Leeds Direct ; and so you and your inte-
rests are to be made subservient to that good end, and
your Board of Directors have not been keen-sighted
enough to see the motive, or, if they did, they must per-
mit me to say that they have been very soft in allowing
themselves to be so readily captivated—or captured—
which you please.
The Liverpool and Leeds Direct scheme offered pal-
pable advantages to your line,—that is, advantages in
addition to what your own line was worth, in so far as it
offered to throw the whole of the Leeds traffic, for Liver-
pool and intermediate points, on it, and thus, while car-
rying out its own purpose, benefitting your interests most
largely.
And what do your Directors now recommend you to
do ? Nothing less than this, to join the Manchester and
Leeds, (by which you will gain absolutely nothing,) so
that the Manchester and Leeds may be the better able to
keep a powerful competitor out of the field, and thus be
enabled to retain the exclusive carrying and passenger
trade from Leeds to Liverpool by its own round-about
route.

MANCH ESTER UNITY OF THE INDEPENDENT
ORDER OF ODD-FELLOWS.
To the MEMBERS who belong to the LODGES in the
LIVERPOOL and other DISTRICTS that have
been SUSPENDED by the G.M. and BOARD of
DIRECTORS for a violation of the General Laws
of the Manchester Unity of the Independent Order of
Odd-Fellows.
NUM EROUS applications having been made by Mem-
bers of Suspended Lodges for Re-admission into the
Manchester Unity of the Independent Order of Odd-
Fellows, on the ground,that they were ignorant of the
steps which had be9,-tiken by their Lodges in seceding
from the Manchester Unity, I am instructed to inform
all who may hate dissented from or taken no part
in such proteeedings, calculated to destroy all con-
fidence in the stability or usefulness of the Society,
that arrangements have been made to REINSTATE
THEM in full possession of all the privileges and
immunities which belong to the Society, in making the
necessary provision for the just requirements of such
as may have a claim upon the funds by being unable
to follow their employment. To afford every facility,
and to give the Members an opportunity of examining for
themselves as to whether the principles upon which the
Society is based are correct, the G.M. and Board of
Directors have fixed Thursday, the Ist day of January,
1846, as the last day Clearances can be granted ; and those
who do not avail themselves of this offer will not be al-
lowed to re-join, even as new Members, without they in-
dividually obtain the consent of the General Annual
Committee, and that consent will only be given in strict
accordance with the 32d General Law.—All applications
to made' to Prov. C.S. ANDREW ROURKE, at the District
Offices, 14, Chapel-walks, South Castle-street, Liverpool.
The principles on which the Manchester Unity are now
founded are such as to insure the Members the benefits
held forth at whatever date they may be claimed, by
calling upon the whole of the Lodges to pay their Con-
tributions to a " General Lodge Fund," which is appro-
priated exclusively to paying the Sick and interring the
Dead; all other expenses to be defrayed by a separate
Contribution. If this rule had been acted upon at the
formation of the Society, the Lodges which are at present
suspended would not have been in the deplorable condi-
tion in which they are now situated ; and what must be-
come of those Members who, after having so lavishly
expended the whole of their funds, are left upon their
own resources? Their position will be truly awful; and,
after having subscribed their money for thirty years, they
will find that at the time they stand most in need of as-
sistance a deaf ear will be turned to their applications,
and they will live to curse a e hour they were, in th eir
incautious moments, induced to listen to the clamour of
designing men, who have everything to gain, and nothing
to loose, by the violent disruption of a body hitherto the
pride of the working classes, and their surest guarantee
for the respect of their fellow:countrymen. The Annual
Committee has decided that the Manchester Unity shall
for the future be considered a MUTUAL BENEFIT
SOCIETY ; and when the Funds of one District have be-
come exhausted, by circumstances arising over which the
Lodges have no control, the necessary Funds to enable
them to relieve their Members will be provided for them,
if such Lodges shall have regulated their payments and
Expenditure in accordance with the Scale laid down by
the General Committee.

Your interest is, to get that traffic to pass over your
own line: but your Directors, by their proposed amal-
gamation, are just in effect telling you that such traffic
had better keep where it now is.
The Manchester and Leeds Line will gain, as they
think, all they want by this movement, while yeu will
lose a large proportion of the advantage your own line
would give you.
But do not let your Directors think that, by the
amalgamation, they can succeed in extinguishing the
Liverpool and Leeds Direct! If they, or their friends of
the Manchester and Leeds, had but thought of it, they
might have seen and known that there are other means
to work out the purpose of the latter company, and which
means, I have occasion to know, are now being actively
brought to bear, and which will not only defeat the pur-
pose of the proposed amalgamation, but deprive you and
your line of any chance of advantage from that traffic.
You cannot blame the Liverpool mid Leeds Direct for
doing so ; they offered a friendly alliance, but your
Directors rejected it.
I call upon you, therefore,—or, rather, would submit
to you whether it is not at once our duty, at the meeting
to be held on the Bth of October,
lst.—To disapprove of the proposed amalgamation
with the Manchester and Leeds Company.
2nd.—To instinct your Directors to open up a ne-
gotiation with the Committee of the Liverpool and
Leeds Direct, with a view to an immediate and ami-
cable understanding with them.
By adopting these two courses, you will at once establish
the independence of your own line, and secure to your.
selves all the advantages—and they are many—which its
own immediate and prospective intrinsic worth is certain
to realise ; thus averting a division of large profits, and
maintaining entire your own power as a Company.
There are many of your body who agree in the opinions
I now offer to you, and who are determined with me to
do all in on:• power to prevent the union contemplated.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
A SHAREHOLDER.
