oonadesee pissed in the board by the proprietary, they ought
to have some szplanatiose with to the bill before
giving their sanction. (Hear, bear.)
The CISAIRMAN said be was always MOSS ready to give all
the lakemation in his power ; but as the bill had yet to go
before a committee of the House of Lords, there were reasons
of predawn why he should not go into explanations uto its
details. (Hear, hear.) It was one which would be beneficial
to the company without being injurious to the public inte-
reaia and farther than that he hoped be shook not be re-
gained them to my. (Hear, hear.)

Newmarket and Chmterford was • duplicate line, which
was wholly unneosseruy, and which entailed expenses of

The CHAIRMAN mid it was simply of a permissive cha-
rooter, end entailed neither engagement nor expenditure of
any 'dad upon that company, although there were three
classes relating to en agreement which might be made, pro-
bably before long, between that company sad the East Suffolk,
the teems of which world be submitted to the shareholders.,
before they were ratified by the directors. In Minding to
the third bill, he said it only came before them because they
happened to have a working agreement between the Eastern
Counties end the Waveney Valley Railway Company, and
the latter could not, according to the forme of parliament,
