GROUP XXXIX.

This Committee met at the usual hour this morning; Lord
Charles Wellesley in the chair.

LEEDS AND THIRSX (LEEDS, DURHAM,
AND NEWCASTLE EXTENSION).

Mr. BAYNES opened the case for the promoters of this ex-
tensive scheme, which is brought forward for the purpose of
forming a competing line to the existing York and Newcastle
Railway. The line would conamet.ce in junction with the
existing Leeds and Thirsk Railway at Ripon, pass through
Northallerton, Yarm, Durham, and thence on to Newcastle,
forming a shorter and more direct communication between
Leeds and these several towns.

The line was opposed by the York and Newcastle Com-
pany, and several shareholders.
The remainder of the day was occupied with the general
evidence usually adduced in favour of new lines.
The Committee then adjourned at four till twelve to-
morrow.

GROUP XLIV.
The Committee met this morning at twelve; Mr. B. Deni
son in the chair.

DUNDEE AND PERTH (ALTERATION AND
EXTENSION, AND INCHTURE, POLGU-
RIZ, AND /NCIIMICRAEL BRANCHES).
The preamble of this Bill being unopposed, was, after a
formal examination of Mr. Thorns, declared proved. The
clauses were then read and agreed to, a clause being in-
serted, giving the Perth Harbour Commissioners a dispensing
power over the swing bridge proposed by the raiway com-
pany over the river.

ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.

WORCESTER, WEDNESDAY.—A most daring attempt to
assassinate Dr. Thurley was made at an early hour yesterday
morning, by some villain as yet undiscovered. The circum-
stances are these :—As Dr. Thurley was sitting in the
library at the back part of his house, called the Ivy House,
in St. John's, near the city, he heard the report of a pistol,
and immediately went out, but could see no person. He
then called " Police," and No. 18 of the Worcester police
force was quickly on the spot, and assisted to search the
premises. No stranger was to be found, but it was dis-
covered that a small hole had been made in one of the panes
of glass, that a corresponding perforation appeared on the
window blind, and that the shot bad struck the carved
wainscot on the opposite side of the room. The bullet
(which was found on the floor) had apparently been shot
from a ride pistol, and must have passed within a few inches
of Dr. Thurley's head as he sat writing at his table. The re.
port awoke the servants of the house, and by one of them.
who happened at the time to he awake, the flash was seen.
The report was also heard by policeman 18, who at the time
was about one hundred and fifty yards from the spot. About
a quarter of an hour before the discharge of the pistol Dr.
Thurley fancied he heard footsteps on the gravel walk out-
side the library, and at the same time the dogs barked_ vie.
lently. The coachman also heard the footsteps. The police-
man while on his best, about the same time, met a man nezir
the Ivy House, whom he described as a short, slim, well-
dressed, middle-aged, gentlemanly looking man. Footsteps
have been traced on the gravel walk, and the police are put,
cuing an active investigation into the matter. No cause cat/
assigned for the attempt.

TIM HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.

Dr. LYNCH wished to ask the chairman of the Commis-
sioners of Sewers a question affecting the interest and the
lives of the citizens of London. He wished to know, now
that the refusal to accept the Government measure threw
the, responsibility upon the commission, what measures they
were about to adopt to meet the frightful evils which existed.
—(Hear, hear.) It was the duty of the commission to pro-
cure a short Bill at once empowering them to abolish cess-
pools and to make each house communicate b 1 drain with
trapped sewers, and possess a plentiful supply of water.
Mr. PEACOCK (the chairman of the commission) said the
Commissioners were indefatigable, and the City, under their
watchful care, was rapidly improving. They were about
to apply to Parliament for the power of which Dr. Lynch
spoke, and he trusted they would soon be able to exer-
cise it.

London, England, 1847-05-19

Lord CAMPBELL thought that the Noble Lord ought:not
to persist in the course he was adopting.
Lord Al ON TEA GLE called the attention of their Lord-
ships to the Duke of Wellington's clause in the late Poor-law
Bill which was introduced into the House of Lords. The clause
was of a similar character to the one now under consideration,
and the House of Commons accepted it as an amendment,
which the House of Lords had a right to make.
Lord REDESDALE could not see on what grounds the
House of Commons could reject the clause after accepting the
one of the Duke of Willington referred to.
Earl GREY said the effect mig the
be, hatever right this
House had in the matter, to make the amwendment, the House
of Commons might not so readily accept ether amendments, as
they would otherwise do were this clause not introduced into
the Bill.
The clause was then withdrawn.
Earl GREY moved an amendment on the 16th clause,
which had been referred to the other night, which was to
offi
andci
enable the agents of great proprietors to act as e
guardians in their absence. REDESDALE
After a few observations from Lords
MONTEAGLE,
The amendment was agreed to.

Lord ABINGER then-moved a clause to the following ef-
fect ; —" And whereas it would be expedient to fix some rea-
sonable limit on the amount of the rate to be levied for the
relief of the poor, be it therefore enacted that the whole of
such rate, whether levied on the landlord or upon the tenant,
or upon both, shall in no case exceed one-sixth in the pound
en the net revenue."

Earl GREY said the effect of the clause would be to raise
no rate whatever above 3s. 4d. in the pound. fie thought it
would be very enormous to make any such restriction in a
case of great destitution such as prevailed in Ireland.
The clause was then withdrawn.
Earl FITZ WILLIAM proposed a clause that the Bill
should continue in operation for three years, and to the end of
the next then ensuing session of Parliament, and no longer.
After a few words from Earl GREY, the clause was nega-
tived, without a division.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

Earl GREY gave notice that, on Thursday next, his Noble
Friend, the President of the Council would move that the
House, at its rising, do adjourn till Friday week.

Mr. Robert Stewart, member of the Glasgow Town Coun-
cil, and Mr. Tennent, also a magistrate, were examined
a✓,ainat the promoters. They stated that the universal feel-
ing in Glasgow was against the crossing the public green of
Glasgow in the manner proposed by the promoters- of the
Bill. Public meetings bad been held against the proposition,
and petitions had been presented to Parliament against the
project. In the prayer of these petitions the witnesses fully
agreed. _ _ _

—Mr. Smith, of Doanston, Mr. John Carrick, superintendent
of streets, and Mr. Forbes, town-clerk, were called to the
same points. They also expresed an opinion that another
and better plan of traversing the city might be adopted.
They were further examined as to the injury done to the
green and the city by the proposed viaduct.
Mr. Sidney proved that the people of Perth were threat-
ened with the destruction of one of their Inches, or pleasure-
grounds, but in consequence of the opposition of the inha-
bitants, the railway companies had forbore their intentions.
Mr. Walker, C.E., proved the superior advantages of his
line, which arrived at the same objects by a more circuitous
route, avoiding the city of Glasgow, over the scheme of the
company.
Mr. Neil Robson, C.E., corroborated his evidence. The
estimated cost was 195,0001., which included land, &c.
The Committee then rose at four o'clock.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER MR. J. WATSON,
OF BALLYCORNEY.

Limerick Examiner-office, One o'clock, P. 31., Monday.
This moment Surgeon Wilkinson passed our office on
his way to Ballycorney, to give his professional aid to
Mr. James Watson, who was fired at about half-
past ten o'clock this morning from behind a hedge, on
the road between Bridgetown and Killaloe. It is feared
that the wound is dangerous, if not fatal. Mr. Spaight,
jun., has just arrived fromlaloe with the melancholy
intelligence of Mr. Watson's death. The only cause
assigned for the murder is, that he became an agent over
some property in the room of Mr. Rogers, who emigrated
to America.

A man, named Edmond Duet, dropped instantly dead
on the rope-walk of the Messrs. English, this morning,
after breakfast.

TRINITY TERM.—On Saturday Trinity Term com-
mences (the last term before the Long Vacation) when the
Courts of Equity and Common Law will resume their sittings
at Westminster. In the Queen's Bench, in the Special case
and Demurrer list, there are four matters for the judgment
of the Court, and 61 for argument. In the new trial paper
there are 76 rules for argument, and seven for judgment, in-
cluding the railway case of " Woolmer e. Toby." With the
exception of four rules, the earliest one was obtained in
Michaelmas Term, thereby showing a diminution in the arrears
of the Court. The Demurrer Paper of the Court of Common
Pleas contain twenty-six matters, and in the Remanet Paper
there are three enlarged rules, b:sides seventy rules for new
trials, two applications for new trials suspet ded, and eight
for the decision of the Court. In the Court of Exchequer
there is a good deal of business for the ensuing term. fhe
Peremptory Paper has twenty-three rules ; of special cases
there are two for judgment, and twenty-three for argument.
In the Demurrer list there are two for judgment and sixty
for argument ; whilst in the New Trial: Paper appear three
