Th ' DIN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. AND
The PetitLAN
ion of the Bankers, Merchants, Manufacturers, and
Traders, of the Town of Manchester, assembled in Public
Meeting, this present Tuesday, the 9th of April, 1839,
HUMBLY SHOWETH,—
RThat application has been made to your Honourable House
•.leave to bring in a Bill to authorize the construction •f a
'Railway from Stone to Rugby, under the title of " The Man-
ster and Birmingham Extension Railway."
Ihat in the opinion of this Meeting, the intended Railway is
calculated to serve essentially the interests of this town and
neighbourhood, as affording the shortest and best communica-
tion to and from Manchester and the manufacturing districts
of Lancashire, and the metropolis.
That auxiliary to the great object of securing to this district
the readiest access to London, the intended line will also afford
a Railway communication between 'Manchester and the whole
of the Eastern District, including the towns of Derby, Newark,
and Nottingham.
That these advantages will be secured by means of a Rail-
viay which, it is believed, considering its length, is not exceeded
in engineering properties and general excellence by any line of
Railway, either constructed or projected, in this country.
That your Petitioners need nut impress upon your Honourable
House the fact that the commercial prosperity of the vast trad-
ing community of and round Manchester will be greatly pro-
t'noted by the utmost facilities of communication being afforded
it the various parts of the kingdom, and especially with
London, so that the manufactures of this, the great work-shop
of England, may continue to afford employment to our popula-
tion, and that in the march of trading competition the capital
Ind cute: prise of the district may have fair aid free exercise.
That in uttinz forward a claim to these advanta.ges, your
l' •• ' p Iseeking for h h' his • and
etitioners are On v
,!'eighbours, with those who are interested in the welfare of the
usw_
p l, are willing, out of their own resources, to accomplish, if
arlianaent be pleased to grant to them the necessary powers
for that purpose
That the tnwn. of Manchester is almost alone in not having
already obtained its own direct line,--i.ther tonns, not possess-
Iti;.either the like extent of population, trade, or capital, having
kpp'irr rQacespective Railways to London, either in present use or
our rag to completion ; and, amongst the towns so situated,
, Vrist_petitioners may name Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds,
TZ and Southamton.

teat an coTprabined Railway and Canal Companies to de-
thent undertaking calculated, as they think, to interfere with
ptt ..eotiopely which they are' interested in upholding and the
g° in uprooting •; and thus the London and Birmingham, the
witt,,Ulction, and the Midland Counties Railway Companies,
been 1,10 Trent and Mersey and other Canal Companies, have
ostii2ne real parties before the Committee, and not the Land-
-1,71rs whose interest they affected to protect.
perizilL,t, mitred Ur Petitioners believe that the promoters of the Bill, if
thow that‘ld to lay their case before the House, will be enabled to
plein, none of these Companies have any just ground of com-
No' against the undertaking, and as to one of them in parti-
inetrlthat the opposition of that Company need not have been
4,11'0, but, on the contrary, its co-operation would have
sente_leeured,.if the promoters. of the Extension Line. had
.con-
pee," to sacrifice the principle of competition which an inde-
f„uent line will secure, and which they deem it to be the
7brght of the public to require.
kn,,'hat your Petitioners conceive that the Standing Orders of
.!' Honourable House were intended for the protection of
hi_oowners, and not as an instrument of oppression and
Co'4lsing opposition to a great public measure by combined
tOParnes ,• and they respectfully represent to your Hon. House
town they shall deem it to be a hardship and injustice to the
,ail, of
of Manchester if such an opposition be allowed to pre-
-4.'1 especially as your Petitioners are informed that the pro-
if Zngs before the Committee in this case have satisfied many,
