Sala-Committee Na. 6.

---
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The Committee next proceeded with the
CALEDONIAN (DUNDYVIN BitANCH) RAILWAY.
The object of this Bill Is to connect the Castlecary branch of the
Caledonian Railway with the city and harbour of Glasgow by a line
of eight miles in length, the estimated cost of which is 150,0001.
Engineers and agents as above.
The petition of William Sligo, of Carmigle, contained several
allegations as to the legality of the subscription contract.
The first allegation had reference to a question depending upon a
distinction between the Scotch and English law. The Committee
cleared the room for a decision upon this point, but, on our re-admis-
sion, the Chairman said that the Committee had come to no decision,
and would reserve the point till they should consult with the Speaker
on the subject.
Two of the allegations were not entered into, it being stated that
they depended on the first.
The fourth and last allegation was, that John Black, a lunatic,
was one of the subscribers to the contract. It appeared that the
deed was signed by" William Black, curator bonis for John Black, a
lunatic," and the question in dispute resolved itself into this—
whether " William Black, curator bonis for John Black," meant
"William Black, as curator bonis," &c.
The Committee ultimately decided that as the contract bound the
subscribers, " thew heirs, assignees," &c , it must be considered that
William, and not John Black, was the party bound, as he could not
bind the heirs, &c., of his ward. The allegation was therefore de•
dared not proved, and the standing orders complied with.
The Committee then adjourned.
