THE DISPUFE BETWEEN RAILWAY
COMPANIES,

Tao hearing of t-.e appl-cation by the Halesowen
Railway Company aAarnst the Midland Railway
Company and the Great Western Company was re-
sumea on ‘Vednesday, before Sir F. Peel, Mr. Price
ani Mr. Miller Q-C., Railway Commissioners,
sitting at Westminster.
The applicant company are the owners of a line
of rail, ay in Won esteishire, under an Act of
Parliament, with which was incorporated an agree-
ment that as soon as the line was completed, to
the satisfac,ion of the engineers of Vie companies,
or any two of them, the Midland and the Great
Western Companies sh -tad work and manag,) the
line. It was also provided; that in case of
difference, tile matter should bb referred to arbitra-
tion. The applicants alleged that they had corn-
piettd their railway, and now applied to the Corn
mi,sioners for an order requiring the respondents
to work and manage it under the agreement. The
Great Western Company contended, however, that
before the tailway was completed it was necessary
to construct certain platfoi me, and other works at
Northfield Station, on the Midland Line, whieh
they proposed should be the point at which the
int.ercnange of traffic should take place. The ap-
plicants had applied to the Midland Company to
tnem to consiruct these works on land belong-
ing to toe Midland Company, but this Permission
had been zefused the. company stating that they
considered tha,toe applicants railway was com-
pleted. In this state of circumstances neither com-
pany would undertake the woz king of the railway,
hence the present applica:ion. On the case coming
before the Court, oujection was taken by respon-
dents' council to the jurisdiction of the Com-
missioners, and the arguments in regard to that
point w.-re continued on Wednesd .y. The appli-
cant comi.any were epre,ented by Mr- Litter.
and Mr. Balfour Brown ; while the respondents'
counsel were Mr. Webster, QC, and Mr. it. S.
Wright, tor the Great Western, and Mr. Bidder,
Q.C., and Mr. Sutton for the Midland.

At toe conclusion of Le.-3 argum,nts the Court
r,?tired, and afer half an hour's absence returned
iuto court.

Sir F. Peel said to question which they had to
decide at prestmt was one of jurisdiction solely
As he understood the matter thete was a difference
between ttie comoinlus, and the agreemetit con-
tained an aiticie by which any diffeietices betweet:
the comp,anes should be decided by arbitration ;
and he consid red, therefore, that the-e differences
came wider that provision ih the agreement. Ile
also thought that the case came within the Regu-
lati .n of ttailways Act, 1873. He was, therefore,
of opinion that the Court had jurisdiction, and that
the demurrer ought Si far to be ovevuled.

Mr. Price and-iNfr. Miller concur-red.
The hearing of the case on the merits was further
adjouined.
