TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE SHREWS-
BURY, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND SOUTH
STAFFORDSHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
GENTLEMEN,
IBEG to annex .you a copy of the Report of the
Directors to the late General Meeting, and of the proceed-
ings thereat. In explanation lam directed to inform you, that
the Act of Parliament authorizes the construction of a Railway
from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton, with a Branch to Coal-
brookdale, the Capital being One Million, to be equally divided
between the Shareholders in the Shrewsbury, Wo,verhampton,
and South Staffordshire Junction Company and the Shrewsbury
and Birmingham Company. As, however, the original Share-
holders in the latter Company had, previously to the amalga-
mation with this Company, agreed to subscribe the sum of
£300,000, being one-fourth of the Capital required towards the
formation of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour
Valley Bailwav (with which the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton,
and South Staffordshire Company having nothing to do,) it is
provided in the act as one of the terms of the amalgamation,
that two classes of shares shall be created, to be termed respec-
tively Class A shares and Class B shares. The latter class
represents half the above mentioned capital of £1,000,000 (viz.
£500,000) required for constructing the line from Shrewsbury
to Wolverhampton, and the Class A shares represent the other
half of that capital, together with the additional sum of £300,000
to be subscribed on account of that class exclusively towards
the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley line. The
position of the two classes of the Shareholders will therefore be
as follows :—Assuming that (as it is presumed will be the case)
the holders of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South
Staffordshire Junction scrip claim the shares to which they are
entitled, then Class A will have 52,000 shares of .4'15 7s. 9d.
each, and Class B the same number of shares of £9 12s. 3d.
each, which share will be credited with 12s. as a deposit. The
original number of Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South
Staffordshire shares having been only 26,000, two of the new
shares of 12s. 3d. making together £l9 4s. 6d. will be is-
sued in respect of each one of those original shares of ..t25, but
not unless you forthwith send to me, at this Office, your origi-
nal Scrip with a request (in the annexed form) to be registered
for the above Shares in the amalgamated Company. In ex-
change for your Scrip you will forthwith receive Certificates for
your new Shares in the amalgamated Company. It is my duty
particularly to point out to you the necessity of your immediate
attention to this matter, and I have the honour to be,
Your very obedient Servant,
J. WHITNEY, Secretary.
Wolverhampton, November 3, 1846.
