VENING EDITION.

Sir R. INGLIS thought the Company, when they
came before the House to raise an additional sum of
money, should comply with the regulation which re-
quired them in the first instance to advance from their
own funds 10 per cent. of the amount required.

Mr. HUME said one of the great evils of the rail-
way system was the fallacious estimates on which they
were originally based.—(Hear, hear.) He would
merely instance the case of the Great Western Rail-
way, which had been compellel to come three times
before the House in order to raise further sums of
money in conscqueace of their estimate being so much
below the expenditure. He objected to the House
giving these Companies any further facilities in the
borrowing of additional capital.
