he had not touched on that part of the bill was because
it was unopposed.

The Chairman admitted that any blame which might
attach to the matter should rest with himself, as he
should have noticed the fact when the hilt was firt sub-
mitted to he committee.

Mr. Chripps, referring to the ob,frvations just 'nide
by Mr. Godson, explain,i it thong rne did n speci-
ficallo opposs that part f t.c bill re4pecting whets an
extension of time was claimed, he oppo-ed it inferentially,
inasmuch as he opposed the main principle.
Mr. Godson here stated that in consequence of what
had fa 1 m from the mouth of the Chairman, he should
apply that the committee should defer further proceed-
ings in connection with the bid till Monday next. It
had
.been shown that great injury tolLord Lyttelton's
roperty w.s'involved in the non-completion of the line;
and his lordship having only very mcently returner
home, there had flat been sufficient time to full con-
sidcr the best course to be adopted for the shareholder,.
Nearly £30,000 had been laid out upon the works, a con-
siderable portion of which was already exected.
The Chairman suggested that possibly it might save
time if he stated the present opinion of the committee,
without giving it as a final decision. He took upon
himself all blame of not having directed his attention
and that of the committee to the shortness of tue time
for the purchase of land for the part of the line which
joined the Midland Railway.
Mr. Chripps observed that the time limited for the
eompletiou of the works was difierent as to different
parts of the line. As to the portion which extended
from the Midland Railway for a short distance, the time
for purchase had already passed. The land there had
already been purchased. The time for the completion
of the works axpired this year. As to that part of the
therefole, it was in a very different position from
the northern portion, where nothing had been done.
Tee northern suction—and by far the larger section—of
the lice had till July, 1868, for completion, and the time
for purcbaiing And . extended till July, 1876; so that

to be altered. Therefore, the extension of time would
only affect the otner pats.
Mr. Wood, on behalf of his client (Major Smith), ob-
jected that no notice had been given by the promoter,
to landowners of any application for an extension of
time as regarded the main line extending from Hales-
owen down to King's Norton. That waa sanctioned in
1873. Originally a bill for the line was passed, in j3;.1.8
but the deviation mu not sanctioned tilt 1873.
The Chairman, after some further arguments had
been raised, said it was to be understood that the com-
mittee would reconsider the matter, because, of coarse,
no expression of opinion could be taken ad dual until
the bill was reported to the House. The committee
would set aside all questions as to the branchor of the
proposed railway. In reference to matters of finance,
there was the point to be taken into consideration of
how far it was probable that the work would be executed
for tue benefit of the public. The committee did not see
there was any guarantee for. this, except in the fee 6
first, of the partial construction of the railway for a dis-
tance of three mires (about a third of the entire length) ;
and secondly, of the existence of the agreement fur
working with the Great Western Railway Company.
lieu Lucre was also this to be considered if the line
were to be constructed—there had been ra-) reason
shown why, so far as taking the first part of the line,

pointed out, the promoters included the whole of the
deviation. 'There was LO evidence as to the sufficiency

The Chairman asked Mr. Chripps, as representing tbd
main opponents of the bill, whether the Great Vir‘terw
