EASTEAN COUNTIES (TnarexEs JUNCTION

nu.%zrcHr.s).

Sub-Committee No. 6,

lhe neat allegation was, that in the parish of Marburg certain
lime-kilns, the property of Julia Heath, were not mentioned in the
of reference.

A witness was called to prove the existence of those lime-kilns,
and to point out the field in which they were situated.
Mr. Cextan said that the promoters of the uili were aware ‘‘f
the existence of these lime-kiln., but as they wen entirely below
the stirfaoc of the ground, and had fallen Into disuse they considered
it unnecessary to tai e any notice of them, thinking it sufficient to de-
scribe the place as a field.

The Conlinittee called upon Mr. Venables to prove that the kilns
were In use.

A witness was called to prove this, but he said that he had not
seen the kilns since this time twelve months. He was quite certain,
however, that they were in full operation, for two cottages had been
built on the spot expressly for the accommodation of labourer?, who
were to attend to them, out whether these cottages had since been
pulled down or not, he really could not say.
The Committee considered the allegation not proved.
The next allegation was, that certahrproperty marked No. 13 on
the plan, and described as a private carriage-road, " included, in ad-
dition thereto, certain premises, viz., a house, stable, cow-shed,
hovel, pigsty, rickyard, paddock, and grass shed," and that no notice
had been served on the occupier of this property.
Mr. CA:ITER objected that this allegation pointed out no breach of
the standing orders. It did not state that these sheds, &c., were
within the limits of deviation, or that the parties were in any way
hound to insert them in the plans or to give notice to the occupier,
Notwithstanding this weighty objection, the Chairman, without
consulting his colleagues or explaining his reasons, desired the agent
for tile petitioners to proceed with the allegation.
The question was entirely one of fact—it being disputed
whether the premises were really within the limits of de-
viation. The engineer to the promoters said that the limits as drawn
in the plan did not include them, and that they had been purposely
drawn so as to avoid them, there being no intention of taking them.
It was usual for engineers to avoid premises of this description,
tudess it was absolutely necessary to take them. In proof of this
he pointed out a difference in the width of the limits at this and
other points, saying that they were rot more than 153 feet wide,
while Mr. Hughes, civil engineer, who was called on the other side,
said, upon measuring them, that they were upwards of 100 feet wide.
The Committee decided that the allegation was partly proved,
some parts of the premises being within and others beyond the limits
of deviation, and that to that extent the standing orders were not
complied with.

It being now four o'clock, the further hearing of the case stood
over.

It may be well to observe here that the determination of the
Chairman to enter into the case, although both parties wished it to
be adjourned, and the petitioners were not prepared to go on, gave
very great inconvenience to tile latter, and the parties to other Bills
were in Court and waiting for their cases to be called on.
CALZDONIAN EXTENSION.

Warwickshire and London could be completed to-morrow, it would

gamation with the Great Leinster aad Munster Railway
Company.
Henry Bainbridge, Esq., took the Chair.

peared that the revenue or profit expected on the Carlow
and Kilkenny line was about ten per cent. on the capital.
The estimate of the traffic between Kilkenny and Clonmel
exhibited a return of seven per cent. on the capital of
300,0001. It was proposed to lay down a single line only be-
tween Kilkenny and Clonmel, whereby a saving of 100,000/.
would be effected. The capital of the Wexford and Carlow
Company was 450,0001., and the estimated income 35,671/.
per annum.

The Bills mentionel in the advertisement were adopter',

WAILWICHSIIIP.E & rD ILONDON (HAMP-
TON AND EANBITIVIr LINE).

The Bill takes powers to make a line from the Derby River at
lampton, through Warwick and Leamington, to join the Bucking-
lainshire Railway at Banbury. Its length will he thirty-one miles,
and the cost is estimated at 300,600/., the contract deed having been
sigced for upwards of 2,000,0001. Mr. It. Stephenson is the engineer.
Mr. Carter appeared as agent for the Bill.
Mr. Venables appeared as agent for Lord Hatherton and other pe-
titioners against the line, who complained of various imperfections
and inaccuracies in the plans and s:!ctions. It was stated that all the
witnesses to be examined in support of the petition were not in at-
tendance, and an application was made to base the case postponed.
Both parties were willing to allow the case to stand over, but as a
previous application, opposed by the pri.moters, was dismissed,
the chairman retuticd to allow the case to be adjourned, treating it as
a settled point.
The first allegation was that the boundaries of certain parishes
were Lot marked on the plans. Two witnesses were cared in sup-
port of this allegation, but as it appeared that the boundaries were in
fact marked, and that the only omissions were in those parts which
were beyond the limits of deviation,
The Committee declared the allegation not proved.
The next allegation was to the effect that the books of reference
and plans did not agree, inasmuch as certain property was repre-
sented on the plans as being in the parish of Mentingten, and In the
books of reference it was described as in the parish of Cropredy.
It was stated by Mr. Carter that the place called in the plans the
" Parish of Mornisgton" was, in fact, the hamlet of Mornington,
formiz:g part of the parish of Cropredy, and also forming part of the
township of Mornington.
'lbis admission being made, the Committee declared the allegation
/roved.

been purchased with more freedom, but prices cannot be
quoted higher. Calcutta is more wanted, but business has
been checked by the reluctance of holders to take former rates.
There has been little passing in any sort of Jamaica, and for the in-
ferior kinds prices are going down. There are sellers of Brandy upon
lower terms, still the business done has been limited. Fine Geneva
is still much in request, but the common export sort is little wanted.
RlCE.—This afternoon at public sale 675 bags of Bengal Rice were
