The further consideration of this line was resumed by the
Committee, when Mr. Venables, the agent against the Bill,
called Mr. Smith, an engineer, who proved that the distances
were not' marked on the datum line in miles and furlongs
to correspond with the plan.
After some observations in reply, from Mr. WEBSTER,
The CHAIRMAN said, it was clear that the standing orders
were not complied with.
Six other objections were then abandoned by Mr. VERA-
Buis, and he proceeded to an allegation contained in another
general petition, namely, " that the miles were not correctly
marked ou the datum line," which was similar to an allega-
tion made yesterday, but that it did not apply to the same
part of the line.
Mr. WEBSTER contended that the allegation was decided
yesterday by the Committee, and that it should not be opened
again, as it did apply to the same part of the line.
The objection was not entertained by the Committee.
The petition of Mr. Bartlett was then proceeded with, in
which it was stated a certain field owned by the Marquis of
Anglesea was not numbered on the line, which field was in
the possession of petitioner and his brother.
The Committee decided that it was quite clear the field
was not numbered.
A similar objection to another field adjoining one marked
18, and owned by the Marquis of Anglesea, and in the pos-
session of petitioner, was then examined into, and the Com-
mittee decided, as in the preceding objection, that the said
field was not marked in the map, or entered in the book of
reference.
Thenext allegation was, that John Green the younger, was
described as the owner of certain property in the county of
"Wet" marked Nv. on the pip, while the Bier. John

This Bill was oprosed by petition of the Earl of Glasgow,
complaining of non -compliance with the standing orders.
Mr. Dimms, of the finn of Dimms, Dunlop, and Hope, ap-
peared as Parliamentary agent against the line, and Mr.
G. H. Long appeared for the promoters of it; and the s,)li-
citors were Messrs. Campbell and Lenants, Glasgow. The
capital was 150,000/., and the estimated cost 150,0001. Amount
subscribed, 86,2504
The Committee decided that the standing orders were com-
plied with on the Thornie- bank, Househill, and Hurlet
branches, and then proceeded to consider the Paisley branch
of the said line.
The first allegation was, that the book of reference
deposited with the schoolmaster of the parish of Paisley was
not a copy of the book of reference, inasmuch as property
described in the book of reference in some instances was
arable land, when it was not so.
The objection was not entertained.
The next allegation was, that the height of certain
bridges described in the book of reference did not
correspond with the copy deposited with the parish
schoolmaster of Paisley, and were not marked in plain
figures. In this instance the Committee were of opinion that
the allegation was sustained.
The next objection was that the names of several lessees
were not contained in the book of reference through which
the branch railway . was proposed to pass, and that they
bad not received notice of such railway, although they were,
and are, owners of some of the land through which it was to
go. After some consi(krable time spent the agent withdrew
this object/feu, and the Chairman stated that the standing
orders were complied with except in one case.
GLASGOW, PAXSZEY, AND GREENOCN.
(BRIDGE OF WEI.Z. BR,ANcn).
The object of the petitioners fur this line, is to construct
a branch railway from the Glasgow and Greenock lines to
the Bridge of Weir, the estimated cost of which is 60,000/.
Mr. VENABLES appeared to oppose the Bill, and the first
allegation raised was, that in the parish of Kilbarton there
was a carriage-road not shown, or the height or span of the
bridge proposed to be constructed on another road not marked
or described truly on the section.
The Committee decided that the standing orders were not
complied with in those cases.
The next allegation was, " That the datum horizontal line
was not properly marked." The Committee found that the
standing orders were not complied with.
Mr. VENABLES next proceeded to prove that the parties
who signed the subscription contract were not liable, inas-
much as two gentlemen bad not given their proper address.
The Committee decided that the standing orders were not
complied with, and it being then ten minutes to five ad-
journed until to-morrow, at twelve o'clock.
