OPPOSED .
SOUTH-YORKSHIRE, ANDLIST
DONCASTER AND
GOOLE RAILWAY.
This adjourned opposed case was then resumed. The pe-
tition was strongly opposed by the Midlands, the Sheffield,
Barnsley, Doncaster and Goole Companies, several land-
holders, and one or two corporate bodies. The ease
occupied nearly the whole of the day, but only two allega-
tions were sustained, and these were of no very great im-
portance. The allegations went to impugn the aceuracy of
the sections; but the engineer of the line explained that, in
point of fact, the defects arose from the shrinking of the
paper upon which the plans and sections had been prepared.
The case was adjourned.
