Il
pleting the road, placing 1t In per.
feet order from Richmond to Chick
ahominy, I dismissed my force on the
road except my clerk and one super
intendent with few men TO keep possession
and commenced suit against the company
in the United States Court TO have this
trust-deed mortgage Of September ., 1859,
taken from record and cancelled 20 IS TO
make the $3.50, 900 bonds issued under the
trust-deed mortgage Of January l, 1885,
the first mortgage bonds according to con-
tract. The president caused the company
TO commence in the Circuit Court Of the
City of Richmond against me what I term
ed palliating suit. To avoid the company
trouble, and to avoid myself the further
trouble of prosecuting the law suit, con-
cluded to sell my contract, provided re.
sponsible parties came forward that could
pay me, and that the company would con-
sent to the transfer and release me from
all obligations. Thomas R. Brayton y
Co. came forward and I sold to thom
my contract, together with materials,
locomotives, cars and fixtures on the road,
andreceived my pay in full Of these gen.
tlemen for the same. The Richmond and
York River railroad company consenting
to the transfer of the contract, and my suit
against the company and their suit against
me were both discontinued, as will be seen
by the following publication.
regret this matter Of controversy be-
tween myselfand the president of the Rich
mond and York River railroad Company,
for my intentions were to identify myself
with this road in the future, believing II
to be the great tunnel road for freights to tho
seaboard for all the railroads leading into
Richmond, as well as for the canal and
city, and could be made the shortest and
quickest passenger route to Philadelphia
and New York, (not Baltimore) and should
be the best paying road leading into Rich
mond. / have reason to believe that the
portions of road yet to complete could not
have been placed in better hands than
Thomas r. Brayton s. Co., who have II
now to finish, and the road, with its strong,
high-minded honorable, Board of Directors,
and its energetic president, its future pros
poets is beyond question and cannot be
otherwise than the best paying road not
only leading into Richmond, but In the en-
tire south. WILLIAM II. WILLIAMS.
