Never had there occurred in the ; history of joint-stock enterprises such another day as the 30th of November, 1845. It was the day on which a madness for specula tion arrived at its height, to be followed by a collapse terrible to many thousands of families. Hall ways had been gradually becoming successful, and the old companies had in many cases bought off, on very high terms, rival lines which threatened to interfere with their profits. I'oth of these circum stances tended to encourage the concoction of new schemes. There is always floating capital in England waiting for profitable employment; there are always pro fessional men looking out for em ployment in great engineering works, and there are always scheming, moneyless men ready to trade on the folly of others. Thus the bankers and capitalists were willing to supply the capital; the engineers, surveyors, architects, contractors, builders, solicitors, barristers and Parliamentary agents were willing to supply the brains and lingeis, while too often cunning schemers pulled the strings. This was especially the j case in IS 15, when plans for new railways were brought forward literally by hundreds and with a recklessness perfectly marvelous. By an enactment in force at that time, it was necessary for the prosecution of any railway scheme in Parliament, that a mass of doc uments should be deposited with the Board of Trade on or before. November 00th, in the preceding year. The multitude of these schemes in 1845 was so great that there could not be found surveyors enough to prepare the plans and sections in time. Advertisements were inserted in the newspapers, offering enormous pay for even a smattering of this kind of skill. Surveyors and architects from abroad were attracted to England; young men at home were tempted to break the articles into which they had entered with their mas ters, and others were seduced from various professions into that of railway engineers. There were desperate lights in various parts of England between property-owners who were deter mined that their land should not be entered upon for the purpose of railway surveying, and surveyors who know that the schemes of their companies would be frus trated unless the surveys were made and the plans deposited by November 00th. To attain this end, fraud, force and bribery were freely made use of. November 30th, 1845, fell on Sunday; but it was no Sunday near the office of the Board of Trade. Vehicles were driven up during the whole of the day, with agents and clerks bringing plans and sections. In country districts as that day ap proached, and on the morning of the day, coaches-and-four were in greater request than even at race time, galloping at full speed to the nearest railway .station. On the Great Western Uailwey an ex press train was hired by the agents of one new scheme; the engine broke down, the train came to a stand-still and was run into by an other express hired by the agents of a rival project; the opposite par ties barely escaped with their lives, but contrived to reach Lon don at the last moment. On this eventful Sunday there were no fewer than ten of these express trains on the Great "Western Rail way, and eighteen on the eastern counties. One railway company 'was unable to deposit its papers, because another company surrepti tlously bought for :i higher sum,; twentv of the necessarv sheets from the lithographic printer and . horses were killed in madly run-1 nin- about in search of the miss- ing documents before the fraud ..,. .i:. , r.. cn,no ,M the lithographic, stones were stolen '-Are vou the editor?" s-aid a and printers were bribed by largo' man who wore a conciliatory smile sums not to finish in proper time j nd a dyed beard, as he took a the. plans for a rival line. One emi-' Mat in our office, nent house brought over 400 litho W. acknowledged that at pies graphic printers from Belgium, j ent we served and instructed the and even then all the work ordered j public in that capacity, and. to could not be executed. Some of ! the plans were only two-thirds j lithographed, the re-t being filled up by hand. However executed, j tke problem wus to get these docu-' metits to .Whitehall before mid-j night of November 00th. Two' guineas a mile were in some in- J stances paid for post-horses. One' express steamed up to London, ' 118 miles, in an hour and a half! , An established company having' refused an express train to the; to advance the best interests of promoters of a rival scheme, the j the public; but we" shall expect latter employed persons to get up ' you to first surprise us with a a mock funeral cortege and en-, pecuniary compensation, not nece.s gaged an express to cairy it to " sarily for publication, but merely London, and plan- and sections! as a pledge of good faith."' came in the hearse, and solicitors' "I'll pay.
