LINGTON TO GALWAY).
The CrtetaMAN said that the other evening when they se-
parated question which arose, namely, whether Mr. Cock-
burn,othe
of the South Western Railway, had a locus
stauji, was not decided. The Committee had since determined that
Mr. Cockburn had not a locus standi against the preamble of the Bill,
but should be heard against any clause relating to purchase that
might be proposed.
Mr. Sergeant WRANORAM said that he appeared on the part of
the Mußinger Conpany, who opposed the Bill.
Mr. TAYLOR, en the part of the promoters of the Bill, contended
that as the clients of his Learned Friend had not petitioned against
the preamble of the Bill they could not be heard, and it was the uni-
versal practice of Committees not to entertain objections under these
circumstances.

Mr. Sergeant WitANGHant contended that the circumstances a

these two Bills having been heard before the House of Lords
refuted the assertion of his Learned Friend, and there was no neces-
sity for petitioning against the preamble of the Bill when they were
competing lines, and grouped together.
The Cliationtor said it was unnecessary to argue the point.

The Committee, after hearing counsel pro and con., decided that
the Grand Canal Company , under their seal, might be heard against
the preamble of the Bill, and that the other petitioners might be
heard against particular clauses.
The case far the Bill was then resumed.
Mr. Richard Lynch, of Galway, was examined. by Mr. TAYLOR,
and stated that they got goods in Galway from London, Liverpool,
and Dublin, and from the latter place that the mode of transit for
part of the way was by canal, and the remainder of the road by
carts. lie further stated that the railway proposed would be of the
greatest advantage not only in bringing goods to Galway, but also
in conveying thence corn, 50,000 tons of which came annually into
the town, and a greater portion of which was sent to Dublin.
