The agent in this case stated that the promoters were not pre-

have it postponed until a future day.
The CHAIRMAN said, it appeared that the case WAS an opposed
one, and it was not in their power to grant the application, The
parties had better proceed with their cue hi the best manner they
could.

After a short delay, the Case was accordingly entered into, when
it appeared, that the of of the promoters is the construction of
lines of railway, to connect the Lanarkshire ironworks with the
West Lothian Coal line and limestone fields, to afford an uninter-
rupted communication between the East and West Coast of Scotland,
and give a new and additional supply of coal to the city of Edinbuxgb.

The Committee met this day at eleven &Week.
Sir John bitched was cross-examined by Sergeant Wrangham,
upon behalf of the Mullingar Company. He stated that he was
engineer to the Mullingar Company last year, and that a plan
purpc;rting to be a line of railway from Mullingar to Galway was
lerageo with the Board of Trade, and certified by him as engineer,
but that the scheme was got up in a great hurry, and merely as a
project to give the Company locus standi before the House,
and that he would not have carried out the project, but would have
resigned his appointment. The tendency of his cross-examination
did not weaken his client'e examination in favour of the Dublin and
Galway.

Mr. RoE then tress examined the witness on behalf of the Royal
Canal, and i;ir John stated that he considered that the canal
would not be injured by the establishment of the Dublin and Gal-
way, out in some respects much advanced, and the property mate-

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Sub-Committee, No. 3.
This Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour; Mr.
Aldam (Chairman), Mr. Broadley, Mr. Thornely, &c., in attendance.

EXETgII GREAT WESTERN.
The consideration of this case was resumed this morning, having
occupied the Committee dating the last twe days they sat.
itnesses were examined this morning in reference to the allege,
tion contained in the petition of Mr. Townsend, the consideration of
which was referreu to in our report yesterday as having been post-
poned till evidence on the point was submitted.
After a lengthened investigation, the Committee decided that a
sufficient publication of the intentions of the promoters had taken
place, and that the allegation of non-publication was not proved.
The petition of William Cuff, the owner of an orchard, was then
gone into, which alleged omissions and misdescriptions, not in con-
formity with the standing orders.
The Committee was of opinion that the objections were too frivol-
ous to be entertained.
