__ ____ _
GROUP I.
The Select Committee appointed to consider the
merits of the Bills compli el in this group re-assembled
at the usual hour this morning; Lord Granville Somer-
set in the chair.
THE souTs-raNsTraas sCHEIVIES.
Mr. MacGregor's cross- ' minati;m was resumed by Mr.
Talbot, but his evidence ia- Id remained unshaken in the
least degree. At the last ling, he said, the company rid
a dividend at the rate of 0-4)er cent. per annum, and he en-
tertained the hope that ere tong the line would 3.ield 10 per
cent. Under his own management the traffic had consider-
ably increased, and the lines now before the Committee were
absolutely necessary for the accommodation ef the public.
.alr. ?d'Gregor was also cross-examined by several Learned
Gentlemen, who represent cdoPposing landowners, but it was
stated, that the company were quite ready. to make fair
and liberal arrangements with all parties whose property
would be injured by the lines.
On re-examination, Mr. Mac Gregor stated that he
based his hope that the concern would eventually return
la per dent. upon the expectation that the Committee
would concede the lines under discussion.
Mr. T. B. Fern, to r col" 't,o to the South-Eastern Com-
pany, proved that so fur hacless 1834 the company pro-
jected lines similar to those before the Committee, but
the opposition of the landhol&rs led to their abandon-
ment, and eventually the company was forced to adopt
their present circuitous route.
The Committee adjourned at half-past four until Mon-
day, at twelve.
