xamcaszintz AND Now= YORKSHIRE.
The case of this Bill having been called on, the clerk to the
Committee stated that a petition had been presented against
the Bill.
The CHAIRMAN was of-opinion that such being the case,
the Bill must go before another Gommittee.
After some consifftition, however, it was decided to call
the party to the petition against the Bill, that is the East
Lancashire Railway Company.
It appeared that the petition had not been properly entered
on the votes of the House, as it did not describe the proposed
Bill by its proper title. No one appeared on behalf of the
petitioners, and the Committee decided to proceed with the
Bill.
There was a second petition from a Mr. Marley, in refer-
ence to which we understood the Chairman to say that he
would not report on the consideration of the opposed parts of
the Bill in the absence of the petitioner.
The other particulars of the Bill were proceeded with.
The object of the Bill is to unite the manufacturing dis-
tricts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Northumberland. The
projected termini are Elslark and Scorton, The length of
the line, 47 miles 5 furlongs and 4-chains, with the Clitheroc
Branch of 13aniles. -The cost el construction is estimated
at 1,450,000f.' The engineers are Messrs. Hawkshaw and
Gee, awl the Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Dorrington
and Co.

Loam course of the proceeding Mr. Dyson appeared on
behalf of Marley's petition.
The CTIAIRMAN believed that the objections in the petition
*plied only to the plans and sections.
Mr. DYSON said that such was the case,

The CHAIRMAN then decided that the Committee could
not go into oljections of that nature.
The remaining portions of the case were then gone into,
and the ustr.ll proofs' were received; but the case iwas ulti-
mately adjourned till Thursday, to hear the opposition on the
petition of the East Lancashire Compiny.
