Their Lordships met as usual in Room B (New Houses of
Parliament), Lord Bathurst in the chair.
The case for the promoters of the Bill being concluded,
the opponents were called upon for their case in reply.
Mr. CALVERT proceeeded to open the case for the Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Railway Company, and for Sir John
Maxwell, a landowner, and a long list of other petitioners;
after which the Learned Counsel called several witnesses
(amongst others Sir John Maxwell himself), who gave
evidence to the effect that a greater amount of damage
would be done by thqjiiiig thgchyrokl PMratilittenitita

had been projected which would answer the purposes of
railway communication in the districts through which this
line passed better than it would.

The Committee re-assembled this morning, the Earl of
Ashburton in the chair; when the Counsel for the opposing
lines having announced that clauses had been agreed upon
which obviated their differences, their Lordships declared
the Bill had been proved, the clauses were gone through,
and the report ordered to be brought up.

Room D.
ASHBURTON, NEWTON, AND SOUTEL
DEVON.

The Committee appointed for this group are, the Marquis
of Bredalbane (caairman), the Earl of Liverpool, Lord
Granville, Lord Southampton, and the Marquis of Berwick.
There being no opposition to the Bill, it was declared
proved, and the report was ordered to be brought up.
FOREST 01' DEAN AND GLOUCESTER LINE,
AND SOUTH WALES LINE.
The Committee on this group (the Marquis of Bredalbane
in the chair) next took these two lines in conjunction, there
being no opposition, except that of Mr. H. Hoskins, a banker,
by whom an opposition is set up on the ground of injury to
agricultural property.
Mr. AUSTIN, Q.C., opened the case for the promoters. The
former of these lines is to run from Chepstow' by Newnham,
to Gloucester. The latter is to run by Cardiff, by Usk, to
Monmouth, with a branch to Chepstow, from Newport.
The Hon. Mr. TALBOT examined in chief the evidence of
Mr. Brunel, who was called to show the facts stated by Mr.
Austin.
On cross-examination, Mr. Brunel stated that the 'works
on the South Wales line have been contracted for, though
ittle has as yet been done in the way of actual progress.
Mr. Garrett had laid down a line, but lie believed that it was
only for the purpose of private objects, and at any rate, that
line had never come before Parliament.
On re-examination by Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., and Mr.
WHATELF,Y, Q.C.. Mr. Brunel stated, that had the other line
been taken it would have been worse in every point of view,
and the severance of property would be much greater. Not
only would there be more severe cuttings, but the change
would involve not less than four tunnels.
Mr. Hall, a land surveyor at Cirencester of considerable
practice, and who had been employed by four railway com-
panies, stated that the property had come into Mr. Hoskin's
property by the foreclose of a mortgage; but the property
was merely of an agricultural character.

A Select Committee on the London and Croydon (Thames
Junction Branch), and the London and Blackwall (Widen-
Mg) met at 11 o'clock this morning in Room 5 (Committee-

LONDON AND ELACILWALL WIDENING,
the promoters withdrew their Bill. In the case of the
LONDON AND CROYDON (THAMES jUNC-

TION BANCH),
The opposition was withdrawn, and after hearing some
engineering and other evidence pro forma, the Committee

short space of half an hour, the Committee rose at half-past
eleven o'clock.
