Theme
CALVEaT (on the part of the promoters of the
.Aylesbury and
'Mine line) reonmed his argu -i- ells in reply. ..He felt satisfied that
the reason that the promoters 34 o he opposing line had limited
their engineering evidence to
was that they could not obtain Locke and his protegee, Mr. Denton,
.anyit.other. respectable engineering
evidence in support of a sinr•leline‘ was well-known that the opi-
nion of scientific men was quite hostile:
*leOnto., such, and he would take
the liberty of quoting a few authorities
Counsel here read the evidence of' several eminent matter. (The Learned
eating strongly the principle of single lines.) mlTeenht engineers depre-
ope.d he had now
shown the Committee that this single line asim ra ticable and that
the Cambridge and Oxford line was deilciePnt ein that' unity • of
znanagement which was held out by the line he supported,
the Board of Trade so strongly recommended last year. The whichi
Ayles-
bury and Thame line would be worked by the London and Birmines-
ham Company, to which they had heard Mr. Stephenson state fie
intended to recommend it. The line also had the advantage of being
an almost perfect Leval, and the radius of the curve, to which such
frequent allusion had been made by his Learned Friends en the other
side, was not of that nature au to be a matter of serious objection to
the line. Though it had been said there was au opposition to
this Bill from landowners, there was not a shadow of evi-
dence adduced to prove that any residential injury would be
indicted by this this. The level crossings had been preferred.
With respect to popularity, it would appear that the petitioners
at Aylesbury in favour of their line (Aylesbury and Thame) were as
three to one compared with those in favour of the Cambridge and
Oxford line. The L,,arned Counsel concluded by expressing a hope
that the Comthittee would reject the Cambridge and Oxford line, and
adopt the Aylesbury and Thame line.
Mr. Sergeant CLARKE replied.
The Committee then adjourned.
