and Shrewsbury Line, (thus performing, in every respect,
their part of the agreement,) they feel that they may
prOperly and justly appeal to the London and Birmingham
Board also to abide by it; moreover, to urge for the con-
tinued adherence of the Shropshire party; since, as it
appears to this Board, those 'Gentlemen have, by their
concurrence in the agreement -as made, fully recognised
the whole arrangement. •
" That if any difference shall ultimately arise upon the
agreement, this Board will be prepared to refer that dif-
ference to the Board of Trade, to Sir Robert Peel, t
Lord Granville Somerset, or to any other equally high
and independent authority.
" That a copy of these llesolutions be forthwith trans-
mitted to the London and Birmingham Board, and ano-
ther copy (with a copy of Mr- Gore's letter, of Mr. Jen-
kins', and Mr. Creeds') to the -Hon. Mr. Clive."
The Grand Junction Directoa.s•conceive they have only
to publish the following letter., addressed to them by the
Secretary of the London and Birmingham Railway Com-
l.-any, at the request of his chairman, in order to shew that
down to the present moment there has been no change of
purpose or plan, and (what is much more material) no
tailure of engagement whatever on the part of the Grand
Junction Directors

`• Office, Euston-station, 25th September, 1844.
" MY DEAR SIR.—On the return of Mr. Glyn from
the conference of the 3rd July, at Birmingham, a commu-
nication was made to •Mr. Gore and 11r. Clive, of the ar-
rangement which had been entered into with the Grand
Junction Company. A deputation from their Provisional
Committee thereupon attended our board, and the article
of our agreement which affected them was read.
" On the.l2th July following, a letter was addressed to
Mr. Glyn, to which Mr. Go. is name was affixed as char-
man, and handed to me by Mr. Roy's nephew. On a pe-
rusal of the contents, I found the following words :
`Anxious, however, to form no abetacle in the carrying
out of the amicable arrangements between such large in-
terests, and relying upon the honour and integrity of the
tu•o companies [Grand Junction and London and Bir-
mingham] as pledged to carryout the contract already•
agreed upon, by our respective solicitnrs and subscribers
—between the Shrewsbury Committee and your company.
I ant directed to express their perfect acquiesceuce in the
agreement, whereby their line, as altered from Shrews-
bury to Wolverhampton—instead of to Birmingham, shall
be leased to the Grand Junction Company, upon the iden-
tical terms already arrau,qed in our negociations with.
you ;' and directly stated to Mr. Roy's nephew, who
brought the letter, that it must be altered ; as not being
consistent with the pledge of the Grand Junction Com-
pany, contained in the ngrfement read to the Shrewsbury
deputation. I returned the letter for this purpose, but it
was sent to rele the following day unaltered, with a request
that it might be sent as it was to Mr. Glkn. The latter
did not attach the same value that I-did to the objection-
able words, because, in point of fact, nothing had been
definitively agreed upon with the Shrewstury Company
and ourselves, except that we were to lease the line at a
given rsnt.

" When, however, the Shrewsbury patty had given in
their ultimatum, and that Mr. Roy. with his nephew, at-
tended our last board, 1 felt that it was equally die to the
Grand Junction Board and our own, that I should recall
to Mr. Roy's nephew, in the presence of the directors,
what had passed between us on the subject of the let+er of
the 12th July. He frankly admitted that I had protested
against Mr. Gore's assumption of a concession on the part
of the Grand Junction Company ; for which, in my view
of the terms of agreement; between the Grand Junction
and London • and Birmingham deputations, there was no
warrant. You may have taken a sound view, or von may
not, of the wisest course to be adopted with the Shrews-
bury party ; but they cannot say that you have failed in
your• engasvments, either to them or to us; nor were we
called upon to do more than offer our mediation on points
in which you differed. 1 think it right that you should
know what has passed on this occasion, and at the request
of our chairman, I put you in possession of the fac's as
they occurred. "Yours, faithfully,
(Signed) "R. CREED.
"To Captain Huish." _

After this letter the Grand Junction Directors feel that
it is unnecesFary to add !Another word in explanation of
their conduct ; but as the following letter from Mr. Glyn
to Mr. Gore has been published, as shewing that the for-
mer had written something to Mr. Moss inconsistent with
an admission on the part of the London and Birmingham
that the Grand Junction were to " make" the Shrewsbury
line, it is thought right to publish also the suloequent
correspondence on the subject of that letter.

• " Lomb,wd.street,'26th August, 1844.
"MY DEAR SIR.-Mr. Roy has handed me your note
of the 16111 instant. I am surprised to find there can be
any difficulty upon the particular point to which you al-
hide. We never raised any doubt upon that condition—
indeed the very tact and stipulation of granting a lease to
the incoming company, presupposes and settles the ques-
tion. I hare written to Mr. Moss upon the subject, and
stated my opinion to him.
" Believe me, my dear Sir,
" Yours truly,
(S;gned) " GEO. CARR GLYN.

" London, 7th October, 1814.
"MY DEAR Srtt,—ln reply to your note from Newton
House,l am inclined to think there is some inaccuracy as
to dates in the letter quoted to which you allude, but can
state that the particular and only point to which I refer-
red, was the independence of the Shrewsbury and Wol-
verhampton Company, and its existence ai a separate un-
dertaking, that being settled by the stipulation of the lease
required by the incoming company : for we have uniformly
maii.tained on the one side and tie othrr, that making the
line, strictly speaking, was with the Grand Junction,
though as a question of policy. I have ventured to press
upon you the expediency of settling with the S,•rewsbury
parties undrr any circutnstrnees, fearing the consequences
which would ensue. , •
" I find that I wrote to yon on matters connected with
the Shrewsbury affairs several letters in July and Septem-
ber, and on the 19th, 20th, 22d, 23d, and 21th August,
(if my memoranda are correct,) besides the interview
which I bad with you and Mr. Lawrence.

" Mr DEAR Srtt.—l thank y,ll for your letter of the
7th ; but after Mr. Gore's manifesto, it is due to all con-
cerned, that the part each has taken in the Shrewsbury
matter should be-publicly and clearly understood. Now,
as I never, to the best of my recol.otion, received from
you any letter whatever which is at ail in accordance with
the constructi,n put by. Mr. Gore, and which others ap-
pear to put on your letter puhlished to him of the h
August, I am very anxious to know which particular letter
it yours to me you allude to in it) that letter to Mr. Gore.
Will you he so good as to let' me know. I may mention
too that I have not any l-tter from you dated either the
1011, 20th, or 2lth August. though I have two which you
do not refer to, dated the 21st and 25:h August.
