71, and 7s, had been omitted ix the plan deposited with the clerk of

found to be sustained.

There were se reral.similar allegations, which were admitted, on
the part of the promoters.
The petition next alleged that 68 A.,marked on the plan in the
private Pill-office, was not so marked n the plan deposited with the

Sb-Committee No. 4.
This Committee met to. uday, at twelve o'clock, in tne Room No.

MANCHESTER, HUDDERSFIELD, AND
GREAT GRIMSBY.

The length of the line will be about 47% miles, and the cost is
estimated at 702,0001. Mr. H. Billington is the engineer ; and Messrs.

gations.
The Committee were satisfied that the standing orders were com-
plied with, but postponed the final decision of the case till to-morrow,
for the attendance of a witness not forthcoming this day.
LANCASHIRE AND NORTH TORICSHIR,IL
The Committee resumed, to-day, the consideration of this Bill,
which had occupied a long time at the last sitting of the Committee
on Thursday, and was fully reported in The Sun of that day.

had not been complied with, on the grounds alleged in the peti-
tions respecting the imperfection of plans, sections, and descriptions.

WEAR DOCK RAILWAY.
The object of this Bill is to connect the Northumberland and
Lancashire Junction Railway with the port of Sunderland, and to
give the collieries in Wear Valley a good railway communication with
a shipping poet. The length of the proposed line is twenty-six Hides.
and the estinauen coat 520,0001. Thu engineer is 31r. Thomas Storey,
and the Parliamentary agents are Messrs. Dyson and Co.
The Bill was opposed in a petition from the Newcastle and Darling.
ton Railway.
The first allegation on the part of the petitioners was, that in the
book of reference deposited in the Private Bill-office, the Hon.
Charles Grey and the Right Hon. Lord Duncan were, as trustees
under the late Countess of Durham, described as the occupiers
and owners of certain property marked Nos. 2 and 3 in the plans,
whereas the said property belonged to the Newcastle and Darlington
Junction Railway Company.
On the part of the petitioners proof was given that they had pur-
chased, and were in possession of the property in question, but it was
not shown that any conveyance had taken place.
The Committee decided that the allegation was not sustained.
The next allegation was, that no application had been made on or
before the 31st of December last, to tile petitioners, who were, and
still are, the owners and occupiers of certain waste lands stated to be
within the limits of deviation, and marked No. 5 in the plans.
The Committee ultimately decided that the notices were Insuffi-
cient, and that this allegation was sustained.
There was another allegation to the effect that the application
which was given in writing io the p. 'flutters as owners and occupiers
of a certain branch railway, marked \o. 4, hi the above-mentioned
book of reference deposited in the Private Bill-oftlee, was Imperfect,
and did not sufficiently describe the manner in which the said branch
railway would be affected by the proposed line—also that there was
no notice given of the proposed Company's intention to alter the level
of the said branch line, as appeared by tile plaits and sections de-
posited, whereas it was pro used by the promoters of the Bill to raise
the level of the branch three feet six inches, and to alter the in-
clination from one in 456 to one in 115.
This allegation was abandoned by the petitioners, but the Commit-
tee wishing to satisfy themselves that the objection was not valid,
called and examined the engineer of the line, and, after some discus-
sion, decided that the standing orders were in this respect complied
with.
In respect to the next allegation, which referred to an omission of
a certain Word in a copy of a notice, it was admitted that the stand-
ing orders were not complied wit, t, hut the omission was attri-
Inesstte-ein• ' :ISt(' WWI which f: • !•1.1, were prepared.
i lie e otiettittee expressed their intention of reporting that the
at andiag oude, were nut. complied with.
SIT.TNIUNGDON AND WISDEACH.
lir. COATES a, plied, on the part ot the promoters of the line, to
postpone the case sine die. Ile said that the Bill was at present be-
fore the Standing Orders' Committee of the House of Lords, in which
Horse they intended to commence the Bill. They did not wish,
therefore, to go the expense of passing the Bill through this House
until they should have passed it through the Upper House.
On the part of the petitioners against the line, it was represented
that they had gone to great expense to bring their witnesses to Lon-
don, awl that the postponement would put them to still greater and
unnecessary expense. Tho promoters of the Bill ought to have given
notice of their intention to apply for a postponement.
Mr. COATES said that this Bill was not added to the list of this
Committee until Friday last
After a long discussion, in the course of which the CHAIRMAN
observed that the promoters ought to indemnify the opponents for
any expense attendant upon the postponement, which might have
been prevented by a notice given on Friday evening or Saturday
morning; and
Mr. COATES saying he was willing to make any reasonable corn.
poisation,
The CUAIRMAN suggested that an arrangement might privately be
made between the parties.
This suggestion was ultimately adopted, anti the opposition to the
postponement withdrawn.

DONCASTER, WAREFXELD, AND LEEDS.
This was a Bill to form a line with branches in connexion with
the London and York, there being several other Bills (already before
the House) forming part of the same scheme. The length of the line
is thirty-one miles, and the required capital 660,000/. Mr. Cubitt Is
the engineer, anti Messrs. Dyson, Hull, and Co., are the Parliamen-
tary agents.

Messrs. Bulmer and Durnford appeared as agents for Joseph
Clarkson and James Goldthorpe, petitioners against the line.
The first allegation of the petition was, that certain figures were
omitted in a section of a turnpike-road marked No 83. It was ad-
mitted that in this respect the standing orders were not complied
with.

The next allegation, on which, it was stated. several
others depended, was that the property of the petitioner, Joseph
Clarkson, part of which was within the limits of deviation, was not
marked upon the plan, and was not mentioned in the book of refer-
ence.
included p
inearethe d that
limits the property in question was not
of deviation as marked on plan, but that in this respect the limits were incorrectly marked. the
The CEIATIIMAN said, that the statement that the property w
within the limits of leviation was disproved, inasmuch as it was not
within the limits as marked on the plans, and it was clear
that the Company could not touch any part of the
petitioner's preperty, as it was not mentioned in the
elo of reference. If the objection had been that
thimits of deviation were not correctly marked, it might have
been entertained, but as it was, the allegation was not proved.
The other members of tile Committee were of a similar opinion.
HUNTZNGDON AND WISBECH.
The parties for and against this Rill not having made any agree-
ment, an application was made, on the part of the opponents, to have
the case postponed to Thursday next.
The Citentic&N said that he thought it very reasonable that the
promoters of the Bill should have it postponed sine die, in order that
if :hey failed in the House of Lords they might not incur the extra
expense of passing through this House. At the same time he thought
that the opponents ought to be compensated for the expense to
which they had been put by the postponement.
The case was accordingly adjourned sine die, and the Committee
then rose about half•past three o'clock.

Sub-Comittee IkTo. 7.

posited both at the Private Bill-office and with the clerks of the

and Mr. Harris, were examined in support of the allegation.
Mr. Ainslie proved that notice was served on Mr. Merrifield, the
owner of the ground in question, which was partly a gravel walk and
garden.

The Committee found that this allegation was sustained, though
the ground alluded to was marked correctly in the book of reference,
and the plan deposited in the Private Bill-office.
In No. 9, an allegation to the same effect was sustained.
Several similar allegations were abandoned.

gation.

in 74 A in the parish of Chipping-Barnet, which was not sustained.
The next allegation was, that in the plan deposited at the Private

marked. This and a similar allegation were not sustained.
The next allegation was, that in No. 18, in the parish of Lucan, in
the county of Bedford, there was an inaccuracy in the plan deposited
in the Private Bill-office.
The Committee found that in this case the standing orders hitd not

the property not being marked with a dotted line. This allegation
was not sustained.

It was also alleged that No. 3 A in the plan deposited in the Pri-
vate Bill-office was not inserted in the book of reference, which the
Committee found to be sustained.
—•

There were several allegations which were not sustained.
It was also alleged that in No. 27, on the plan deposited with the
clerks of the peace of the respective counties through which the line
was to pass, the limit .of deviation In the parish of Bowden,
differed from that of the plan deposited in the Private till-office.
