•
The witnesses were Messrs.Willshire, Thomas Hammond, W. Tees-
dall, H. Walwood, and T. B. Palmer.
Captain Morsom, R.N., engineer t o the Company, gave evidence
of the favourable nature of the line; the gradients were
not severe, and he considered the line would prove remunerative to
the company. The line was on the narrow gauge, and there was no
engineering difficulties. The river Waveney would be crossed by
means of a swing bridge, which would not all interrupt the naviga-
tion of the river, which was a tidal one.
At the conclusion of the engineering evidence the Committee rose
and adjourned till twelve to-morrow.

GROUP XXVI.
LONDON AND SOUTH ESSEX.
This Committee resumed its sittings at twelve, Mr. Maurice O'Con-
nell in the chair.
Mr. COCKBURN, Q.C., addressed the Committee on the ground of
being opposed by the North Gravesend simply because they wanted
a larger span of archway across their line than was absolutely neces-
sary.
Mr. Robwm., in reply, stated that they wanted a span of 100 feet
over the river Lea, which Mr. Brunel deemed necessary, whereas
the London and South Essex offered them only 60 feet.

London, England, 1846-05-22

GROUP XVIII.

The Committee met at the usual hour; Mr. B. Denison, chairman•
EXETER, YEOVIL, AND DORCREOBTEX,

AND LONDON, SALISBURY, AND YEOVIL•
Mr. Locke, the engineer of the line, was examined—The station at
Exeter was proposed to be made in an open space at the end of
Queen-street, and would be in close proximity to all the principal
buildings in the city, and would proceed on to Yeovil with easY
gradients. There would be a branch railway from the station at
Exeter, on which there would be two short tunnels to join the Bristol
and Exeter station.

It was agreed by the Committee that, as they had traffic evidence
for the whole line between Exeter and Salisbury, they would also
take the engineering evidence for the same length.
➢ir. Locke was then examined with reference to the line mull
Yeovil to Basingstoke.

GROUP XXXII.

The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock ; Mr. J. E. Denison
in the chair.

CHELTENHAM AND OXFORD.

Mr. Brunel, the engineer of the line, stated in his evidence he dill
not think there would be any diminution in the water caused by the
cuttings from Duke-street to the proposed station, or at other sec-
tions, fir the railway might be made water tight by walls and
invests.

Mr. AUSTIN here interposed to inform the Committee that it had
being discovered that the engineering costs would be more than the
deposited estimate, and the promoters were for a time undecided as
to the course which they ought to adopt. Last night they sent a
proposal to those opposing 6n the part of the town of Cheltenham,
offering to stop short of the town, opposite to Grosvenor-street, for
this session, and next session to come to Parliament for a Bill
for the rest of the proposed line, or for a line projected ac-
cording to the original plan, as the opposing Committee
and the promoters might agree. An answer, however, bad
been sent back, which virtually rejected the proposal.
Mr. Austin, in these circumstances, proposed to conduct his case for
this altered line, and leave it with the Committee to say whether
they would alter the preamble of the present Bill to 'meet the new
arrangement.

Mr. IVEssrEa, on the part of the town committee, could net be
consenting party to the proposal made en the other side.
The Committee ordered the room to be cleared, that they might
consider whether they would allow the evidence to go on and accede
to the new proposal.
On being readmitted, parties were told that the Committee could
not consent to the proposal to alter the preamble.
Mr. AUSTIN then said that no other course was left him but, with
the permission of the Committee, to withdraw the Bill.

GROUP XXVII.

This Committee met this morning at the usual hour ; Sir Chales
Lemon in the chair.
SOUTH MIDLAND AND BEDFORD AND
LIIIOESTER (COMPETING).
The CHAIRMAN officialy announeeki the decision which we gave in
our evening impression yesterday, That the preamble of the South
Midland Railway was not proved, and that the preamble of the Bed-
ford and Leicester was proved." ,

The Committee then adjourned for an hour, as the Chairman' as
about to be examined before another Committee.

Business was resumed at a quarter before two, and the remainder
of the day was occupied In going through the clauses of the Leicester
and Bedford Bill.
The Committee then broke up.

GROUP XXXI.
SOUTH WALES.

The Committee met' this morning at the usual hour; Mr. Bound
in the chair.

M r. CROWDER, Q. C., continued his address in support of the opPe-
sition of the Severn and Wye Canal Railway. He contended that
the Forest of Dean and the Severn and Wye Railway were pro-
tected from interference by any other company by the Acts of
1809 ; that the line was not a direct line to Bristol or Gloucester. and
that it d.d not, consequently, traverse the passenger route to those
districts ; that a tunnel under the Severn was a thing unheard of in
the annals of railways ;- that it would involve the expenditure of au
immense sum of money, and require a number of years to construct,
if it could be constructed at all, which was very doubtful.
on account of the uncertain bottom of the river. Mr. Brunel gave
his eviolence in an extremely off-hand manner with respect to such
an immense undertaking, a project of greater extent than the
Thames Tunnel, only 500 yards of which was under the bed of the
river, whereas the proposed tunnel would be 700 yards under tho
water. Then let the Committee imagine the desperate nature of any
casualty which might occur in the event of the tunnel breaking in.
Ample communication between the opposite shores of •the Severn
would be effected by a bridge to be constructed at Aust Passage,
and besides eligible communication between the districts to be
traversed by the South Wales Railway mad . Gloucester was
in existence. Ile apprehended the undertaking was not required by
the wants of the city, and called upon the Committee to reject the
preamble of the Bill.

Mr. Bigg, secretary to the Severn and Wye, produced the Act of
Parliament relating to the railway, and stated that it had been im-
proved from time to time to meet the increased wants of the district.
This closed the case of the Severn and Nye.

CORN BILL.

The Earl of BANDON presented petitions from places in
Ireland against the Corn Bill. The Noble Earl said that he
could not support the prayer of the petition as he did not par-
ticipate in the alarm that was felt by some persons with re-
spect to the Corn Bill.
CASE OF MR. GEORGE MITCHELL.

Lord BROUGHAM rosy to call the attention of the House
to one of the most cruel cases of hardship that had ever come
under his notice. He had to present the petition of Mr. Geo.
Mitchell, formerly a clerk of the House, from which situation
he had been dismissed. The petitioner stated, that in the year
1845, from an accident that he had met with, his face and head
had been greatly injured, and his sight permanently
impaired. Several years ago he had been attacked with
epilepsy, by which he had lost the use of his right side. He
was also afflicted with ulcerous swellings in his legs. Ls fact,
it appeared that he was subjected to every malady that could
afflict the human frame. Tinough his maladies his attend-
ance on his dillies were necessarily irregular, and he had suf-
fered exceedingly in the loss of his situation at the age of
thirty-six. The petition, which was dated the Strand union
workhouse, pla)ed that their Lordships would extend their
benevolence to him, and grant him such assistance it was in
the power of the House to bestow.
The Earl of DEVON said it was an unpleasant task to in-
terpose at any time between individuals and the benevolence of
the House ; still lie was bound to say that the petitioner was
placed under the chief clerk of the House, but his conduct had
been such as made it the absolute duty of the latter to remove
him from the office he held. More than this he (Lord Devon)
would not say.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord BROUGHAM said the Noble Lord had totally mis-
understood him. The petitioner did not complain of having
been removed, he merely asked their Lordships to extend their
charity to him.
