The Committee-decided to hear the 'petition, which was accord-

Some difficulty arose in.proceei'ing, en account of the petition not
being found in the clerk's ofilce.
Mr. JAMES offered to produce a copy of the petition, and to prove,
by sec Ondary evidence, that the original had been duly deposited.
After some discussion the room was cleared, that the Committee
might consider.the'admissibility of such secondary evidence. But the

The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Mr. Cr. Vernon in
Lhe chair, when

Mr. Bedeils, a grocer and ale and porter dea'er at Bury, was exa-
mined by Mr. O'MALLEY—IIe stated that there was a considerable
trade carried on between Bury and Mildenhall, that the terminus
at Bloomfield Paddock would be most advantageous to the town,
that the opinion was unanimous in favour of it. and from his
own experience lie could say that the intercourse with Mildenhall
was of the utmost importance.

Mr. JENNINGS said that the quantity of oats brought yearly from
Mildenhal to Newmarket was not less than 10,000 quarters, and
that there was the utmost necessity for keeping the old oommualca-
tions open. _

Mr. Croft, surveyor of Bury, stated that he had surveyed the
ground for both the stations in Bloomfield Paddock and the North
Gate, and he unquestionably gave the preference to that in Bloom-
field Paddock; which world run on a level, while that in the North
Gate could only be reached on a str :+; incline.
