This case, which was part heard on Friday, was resumed.
Mr. COATIS appeared for the promoters.
Mr. ELLICOMBE, jun., conducted the case for the opposentg.
Several allegations against the plans and sections were
submitted. ♦ few of them were sustained, and others
abandoned.

The most important allegations against the line were to the
effect that the gradients were not properly marked in figures,
in one case in a distance of 22 miles, and in another in a dis-
tance of 42 miles.

Mr. CoArEs argued against the allegations, but
The Committee decided the allegations to be sustained.
Mr. ELLICOEBE abandoned several similar allegations, in
consequence of their not having been properly stated in the
petition. Where the allegation was against public roads not
being shown, the petition merely said that "in the following
cases the P. R. is not properly marked on the plan."
The CHAIRMAN decided that such allegations were per-
fectly unintelligible, inasmuch as P. R. might be read for
private roads.
__

- A few other allegations were abandoned and some ad,
mitted.

The case .vas then gone through, and
The CHAIRMAN said the standing orders had been complied
with, except in a few instances.
