DUBLIN AND DUO GHEDARAIL WAY

(COAST LINE.)

The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock.
Mr. O'CoNNELL in the Chair.

Mr. Mona OTERR ALL begged, before the proceedings com-
menced, to state that he was interested in the case before the
the Committee, being opposed to the Bill.
Mr. R. PLUNKETT said he was also interested, having taken
shares in the Coast Line Railway.
Mr. O'CONNELL suggested that both gentlemen might re-
main on the Committee, and abstain from wating in case of a
devision.

Mr. Joy, Counsel for Robert Sheppard, and other peti-
tioners against the Bill, urged a preliminary objection, that
the Standing Orders had not been complied with, inasmuch
as there was a variance between the names attached to the
contracts, and those in the original list furnished on the
presentation of the petition.
The objection was overruled.
Mr. OlinvroN took another objection to the form of the
contracts, which was also overruled: _

Mr. HARRISON then opened the case for the supporters of
the Bill, and enumerated the great advantages which the coast
line possessed over any inland project. There were a
number of small towns, from which communications
could be) made, and it would be found that the
population along the line (which was considered by Parlia-
ment a matter of the greatest consequence) was considerably
greater than on the Inland line. The quantity of agricul-
tural produce for public conveyance was also greater on
this line ; and what was also a matter of no small
consequence. Fish caught along the coast could in a short space
of time be transmitted to the markets of the Irish metropolis.
In the case of the Eastern Counties and the South Eastern,
the Committee attached great importance to this circumstance.
It was intended to make a branch line to Armagh, which would
connect the important town of Belfast with the city of Dublin,

The ternirg of the line w. s in tic very heart of the City of
Dublin. The Learned Cau' sel then read a le:ter addre3f ed by
Mr.. Thomas Brodigan to Lord K lleen, in order to show
that the partici connec•e 1 with the coast-linl proposed to
subalit to :be arbitration the Eoard of Worl:s in Leland,
the Bastion which of the two lines was more 1 ke'y to benefit
the public. He also read the answer of the Noble Lord,
which expressed his appr. val of the proposit on ; but that
the Porters connected with he inland line efused to accede to it.
Some:derivation had been male from the original plan which
were specified in the map, an the eansent of the landholders
ihrough whose lands them dev:ation3 were to pass had been
l)ainecl. At the conclusion of flu Learned Gentleman's
address,
COUNSEL on the same side called upon the promoters of
the inland line-to deliver in a map of their plan.
Mr. O'FhANLAN declined to comply, as he was not bound
to do to by the standing, order. irs..arzer4

Mr. OIIoNToN hoped the Committee would allow them
till to-morrow to consider of their answer.

The Committee decided in favour of the application.'
Mr. Kimmpeck, Assistant- Secre:ary to the Company,
was then examined, who stated that the shares in the
Company amounted to 6,0031. total capital, 600,0001.
of this 311,0001. was subscribed by persons having
property on the lice, 360 in number, 272,0001. was
subscribed by Merchants resident in Manchester, who
were connected with the trade of both Dublin and
Drogheda. The Committee, which was composed
of 27 persons had taken shares to the amount of 82,0001.
A deposit of 2/. 10s. a share had been. paid, which amounted
to 14,575/

The witness was cross-examined by Mr. OtliaxnoN, after
which the Committee adjourned.
