GROUP XLIII,

This Committee assembled at the usual time ; Mr. Miles chairman.
EAST AND WEST YOUNSIZIRE JUNCTION.
The proceedings in this case were resumed this morning.
Mr. Thorpe, linen manufacturer, of rateley, was the first witness
called, who stated that in his opinion the proposed railway would be
of great advantage to the district through which it would pass, it
would also enable him to obtain his coals at much less price than he
was now paying. A. large quantity of agricultural produce would
also be conveyed by this railway if the line were made ; he would use
it in the conveyance of his manufactures to Hull, which were very
considerable.

Mr. Buss cross-examined this witness at considerable length in
order to elicit from him whether a majority of the directors of the
railway were not all connected with Mr. Powell, the solicitor to the
Company.
The CHAIRMAN interrupted the counsel in this course, on the
ground that the inquiry could not be produetive of any good ; in his
opinion it would not matter if the whole of the directors were
connected with Mr. Powell.

At this stage of the proceedings the Committee desired that the
traffic returns should be gone into. _ _

Mr. lizzowLEs then called Mr. R. Bayldon, who gave evidence
upon the subject of the traffic. He had been engaged in taking the
traffic upon various lines, and had taken every precaution to obtain
accurate information on the traffic upon this line. From the cal-
culation he had made he thought the present would be a very re-
munerative line.

Several other witnesses were also sailed and examined with re-

necessary, and that the traffic of the districts through which the line
was proposed to pass demanded such accommodation as it would
afford.
The Committee then adjourned until to-morrow.

The engineering evidence was proceeded with this morning.
Mr. Yignoles, the einineer of the line, was examined. He staged that
'there were no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. With regard to
the floods referred to in the petition from Eton College, a plan would be
adopted with regard to Romney Island, by which they would be com-
pletely prevented. The estimated cost of the works of the whole line
was 150,0001. This, he considered, quite ample for its construction.
The whole day was occupied with the examination and cross-
examination of this witness, but the particulars are of no interest, as
they relate to the engineering works and estimates, and to the modes
by which witness proposed to meet the various difficulties objected
by counsel.
The Committee adjeurned at four o'clock till to-morrow.

AYLESBURY AND TIIADIE JUNCTION.
It was arranged yesterday that the case for this Bill should be
entered into, when the evidence for the same might be considered as
rebutting the evidence in favour of the Cambridge and Oxford line,
its competitor.

Mr. CALCRAFT, on behalf of the Bill, called
Mr. Robert Stephenson, engineer, who stated that he had turned
his attention to the Aylesbury and Thame Junction line, and con-
sidered It with respect to engineering facilities, population, and
traffic. It was superior to the Oxford and Cambridge to these points.
Mr. sergeant CLARKE said. he must interrupt his Learned Friend
in this line of examination. Re should restrict himself to tho intrinsic
merits of the line before the Committee without instilling any com-
parison to the disadvantage of another line.
M.r. CALCRAFT contended that he was perfectly justified in adopt-
ing the present course.

A discussion here followed between counsel on this point, which
was terminated by the room being cleared.
Ou our readmission in about three-quarters of an hour the CHAIII-
MAN announced .that the Committee were of opinion that the evi-
dence should be limited to the Bill before the Committee.

The supply of English Wheat on offer being on the increase the
demand for it war extremely dull, and prices were with difficulty
supported. At the close of the market a clearance was not effected.
In free Foreign Wheat so little was doing that the quotations were
almost nominal. Grain under lock was a mere drug. The finest
malting Barley moved off at late rates, but grinding and distilling
sorts might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. The
Malt trade wasvery inactive state, yet we can notice no altera-
tion In value. We have to notice a steady, hough not to say brisk,
inquiry for Oats, at very full prices. Beans and Peas were quite as
dear, but Flour hung heavily on hand.

anal, lastly, that the minute of the transfer of the property► to
plaintiff ought to have been stamped ; but he was willing to
consent to a verdict for the plaintiff if he had leave to mOTO
the Court clove.

(Before a Special Jury.)
GIBSON V. BANBURY.

The plaintiff in this case is a shoemaker in London-wall;
the defendant is a goitcitor. The action' was 'brought to
recover the sum of 851. 101., the value of three scrip in the
Warwick and Worcester Rairway.

Mr. V. Lek appeared for the plaintiff, and called
William Peake, who gave evidence ths.t in DeceMbet last
he was engaged as clerk to the above railway company.
Defenlant told him he had bought three shares of the
plaintiff, hoping they would rise in the market, but they had
gone down to a mere nothing.
Cross-examined—Was only clerk for fourteen days. Had
previously been clerk to two or three other railways. Before
that had been a steward on board ship. Knew what a rail-
way stag was, but plaintiff was not one. He had laid out a
great deal of money in railway shares:
Mr. BALLANTINE (for the defendant) said he had no doubt
he should be able to convince them that of all the impudent
attempts which had ever been made, this was the worst.
Unfortunately, judgment had gone by default, through *
mistake, as the plea had been signed by a barrister, but, as
the action had le en brought in the Common Pleas, it ought
to have been signed by a sergeant. He should, however,put
in a cheque for the amount, drawn by the Commercial Bank
of London, " Pay four shares," and signed by defendant and
his partner, and paid bearing the indorsement of the
plaintiff.
Mr. Wall, clerk to the Bank, proved payment of a cheque
on the 25th October, hut could not say to whom it was paid.
Mr. Wright, partner to the defendant, proved the cheque.
It had been given to Jones (witness's clerk) who brought
the scrip examined. On his silemn oath he did not receive
any part of the produce of the cheque. 'Jones, however, paid
money to him that day on account of another person. A
Julge had consented that the plea might be put on, if
defendant !edged 1001. to abide the event of the trial, and
paid the costs of the judgment, but they declined, as plain-
tiff was not worth a shi!liog.
Mr. LEE aiAres-ed the jury, contending that Jones ought
to have been called to show he had paid the money.
The UNDER -SHERIFF said Jones could have cleared up
the matter. The question was. had the money been paid to
Gibson, whose name was indorsed, or was it an attempt to
get.paid twice over? If it was so, it was most monstrous
and wicked; but they did hear sometimes of these extraore
dinary cases.—Verdict for 85/. 10s.
