EAST DZIZEISIAZVI AND zron:garzcs.

The promoters seek to construct a railway from East Dereham to
Norwich. The length of the line is fifteen miles ; the estimate,
160,000/. ; and the amount lodged in the Accountant-General's hands,
122,0001.
Engineers, William A. Borthwick, Esq., and Tollett, Esq.;
Parliamentary Agent, James Coppock, Esq. ; solicitor, Mr. Drake.
The CuaramlN discovered that there was a clause in the .Bill
which would empower the Company to lease their line to the North
of Norfolk Railway Company, or to any other company "now, or
hereafter to be, formed ;" and he doubted whether the promoters
could introduce_ a clause into their Bill to give powers to another
company not yet formed.
The room' was cleared of strangers, and after the absence of about
halt an hour we were re-admitted, when it appeared that the Com-
mittee had overruled the objection of the Chairman.
The case was then further proceeded with. and, at the conclusion,
the Committee decided that the promoters had complied with the
standing orders.

STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Room No. 3.
This Committee met at twelve o'clock.
Mr. Aglionby (the Chairman), Mr. Thornely, Mr. Aldam, and Mr.
Broadley, were present.
EASTERN COUNTIES (HERTFORD TO HUNTINGDON).
Mr. Venables appeared for the promoters, and Mr. Coates en the
part of the opposition.
Mr. VENABLES made an application that the consideration of this
Bill should be postponed for a month as it was at present before the
House of Lords, in competition with the London and York line, and
it would be inconYeident to go into the question befoie the decision
of that Committee was known.
Mr. Coanc.s contended that the grounds alleged by his Learned
'Friend were quits insufficient to warrant the postponement required.
As Mr. Venables declined to proceed, the Committee decided that
the standing orders had not been complied with.
Room No 9.
The members of this Cemmittee met this morning, and decided
ail-
in
the cases of the 3lidland, Barnsley, Slidfield, and .Dewslatry R
way, the North Wales Railway, the Buctingliamshire Railway, and
the West London Railway, that the stan(liNg orders ought to be is-
pensed with, and that the promoters should he allowed to prueted

In the case of the Macclesfield and Licl:field Railway, the Com-
mittee decided that the standing orders ought not to be dispensed
with.
