Their Lerdehlps met at eleven o'clock, hi the above room, Lord
Mornington in the chair. All the members were present.
The case for the promoters was conlitimd
Captain Moorsont gave evidence corroborative of that given by
Mr. Locke and Di tibia 3 esterday. Ile was Well acquainted with
the district through whfcli the line passed, having hem over the line
several tines about three Years al,ro. fits evidence was highly fit-
vonrAble to the tile. • •
In er,ss-exainination -by Mr. CALVERT, he 101111,10 d that he did
not see the plans until yesterday, but raid that he thought that
quite sufficient, when hi. knowledge of the country was taken into
account.
Mr. Annul was about to call several other engineers; but the
Committee expressed their opinion that it was unnecessary. Alter
some discussioe, the room was chaired on th.s point, and the Com-
mittee consulted tor a few ininutes. They then decided that they
would hear some further engineining evidence, but limited Mr.
Austin-to two ladttie,ses: •. • •
M r. Braly, civil engineer, gaie evidence similar to that of Captain
Moorsom.
Mr. Pilch, traffic-table accountant, gave traffic kvidence, and put
in the traffic tattles (tithe bite. The total estim +Wel revenue from
traffic was 51,789/, being upwards of five per cent. on the capital.
In taking tie tables of traffic foot passengers were not included.
Mr. Vesey, solicit r of the line, and clerk to the magistratce at
Royston, gave e7fience In support 01 that of Mr. Pilch, a Al gave his
*pinion that that gentleman's estimates of traffic were rather over
than under the real *meant.

. Mr. Wm. Dome. secreiary to the Chichester Railway Company,
and connected with the South-Western Railway, 'hid that he was
very familiar whh railway traffic-tables, and that he thought the
estimates were very moderate. lie was not acquainted with the
districts through which the line passed, but he could easily judge
frt m s atistical information. &c.
It was here stated that them was but one 'more witness to be
called on the part of the promoters, and th..t hewas not
present. As
it was then but halt-past three o'clock, it was aireed that the evi-
dence on the pa t oi the petitioners should be commenced, but that
their case should it t bg, opened at pie ent.
Mr. Fietchet, coachman formerly keeping. a.coach totween
Oxford and Cambr, ge. was next called, and said that in consequence
of the want of traffic between tho.e laces, he had befit compelled to
ab ndon his burin. which had never pad him. lle should
think a donkey and a pair of panniers would curry all the traffic
between Oxford and Cantbridge.—(A laugh). SU the traffic ran
north and south. There were formerly sane reels ruing tort
and south, crossing the Oxford ant Cambridge re'.,41,. which used to
supply him with a hew passengers, but since they bad been stopped
he bad none at all.

Mr. Beasley and Mr Newington, the former a livery-stable keeper,
the latter a carder, at Oxtbrd, gave corroborative evidence.

Mr. Fwan, carri• r, at Cambridge, also gave evidence es to there
being no traffic between Oxford and Cambridge. • .

The CHAIRMAN Said the Committee have come to a unanimous
decisi•n as to this Bill. We arc agreed that the line of country
through which the railway w all pass is a most important district,
and requires railway accommodation, but we think that accomm,.
dation would not be supplied by the paSsing of the Bill, which would
nest pen the mine of wealth which should br opened in this tdstriet,
and we, therefore, declare the preonble riot proved.

The Committee assembled this morning, Earl Furtescue In the
hair. -"

Air. Lideell, the engineer, was ca led to prove the particular cir-
ctunitanci-s of the hue, and stated that tour turnpike roads would be
cro-used out a !eve,.

Mr. WADDINGTON cross-extmtined on the par, of Mr. Harris, Mr.

ended to pa-s, and endeav ur• dio sh“w that it wa. unnecessary, in
cons,que-'-ce of the passing of the. Leicester and Bedford line; but the
Committee ruled that that qu: aeon could not thus he opened.
In continuation the vti,ness stated that he hail laid out another
line, hur it would materially affect the tone of Leicester. The
country on every side pretatted it antitul sl pea; and it is necessary,
when entering-a town, to et oss whales', r roads may be the eAmunu-
nications %.Ith other places ; here the erl would be reduced by
the abstraction of till the trams from the present public roads.

. . _
.11r. WADDINGTON again attempt( d to open the oppos.tion of the
Leicester and ltedford interests, but as that line was not before the
Committ e as a competing line, and thereh we the evid. nee upon it,
one way or the other, would be of little value; for, if made, it
would not serve the purpose of the Leicester and Leamington line,
though the latter would sup:Ay the object of the former, it was not
enterta ned.

Mr. Ellison, deputy chairman of the Midland Railway, and a di-
rec!or of the sgaithampton and Leicester Company, as also a dealer
in coal and a considerable occupier of land in the immediate neigh-
bourhood of I.•ace+ter, testified to the feelings of Mr. Harris and Mr.
3liiler when th s line was first projected.
A long dispine t wined respecting the value of the property affected
by the line, the ol•ject being to sh,w that Mr. Harris's land es-
pecially was partictil.:rly adapted for the build mg of villas, arid was
like the rest of th, laud :n. the neighbourhood, of au undulating cha-
racter.

—Mr. Mellor, the barrister, who hal.given evidence, chiefly stated,
also, that the lan i t :ken for the Leicester and Bedford line is marsh
land, so low as to be incapable of drainao, and utterly unfit fir the
erection of residential property.
Earl MouroN here required that a section of the line of the pro-
motei s should be put in.
On re-examination, Mr Mellor stated that he was not aware that
the Corporation of Leicester were tinder an engagement to the Lei-
cester and Bedtlird Company to make a street parallel to the !trams-
ton-gate, in order to ol.viate the inconvenience of crusting hat
sto et on a level, although he was not ass are that the conuany h td
agreed to pay tot, th,e- *to- ,ttroor.hl•-• lung art the lon
passeu tirinnstort-gate on the levet.
The examination then went . u to show the position and nature of
the goods and hou e f Mr. Dards, which are close to the town of
Leicester. Datmett's all was formerly butter situated, but in con-
sequence of the present n ighbourhood of coal-wharis and factories,
its pos tion is ow much worse than Westcoati , the seat of Mr. liar-
ris. Some property which he had himself bought jn the neigh
bourhood of the town, had risen in consequence or Ins making a new
road trom 275. to 2t.,105. an acre, and some of it, since th, purchase,
to 4/. an acre. Judi ed, he might et the whole at that price if he
would consent to cut it up into small portions.
The evidence war continued till four o'clock, when the Committee
adjourned till to-morrow.

a railway from Trim: to Banbury. and contemplated

power to form such a junction was now proposed. a proposal,
