Members Present
Compton, and Mr. J. O'Connell.
Messrs. Burke and Kemp, Parliamentary agents, appeared on be-
half of this line, and Mr. Murrell, engineer, opposed it.
Before the petition was read, the agents for the line contended that,
in compliance with the standing order, the petition could not be
received, inasmuch as that order made it necessary that the party pe-
titioning should be a party interested in the line, and that Mr. Murrell
was not interested, he being merely the engineer to a competing line,
Mr. Murrell's agent contended ho had a right to be heard on the
grounds that the public ought to know the bona fides of the line.
The Committee, after a short consultation, postponed their decision
until twelve o'clock to-morrow.
We ascertained that the chief objection set forth in the petition is,
that in proving the service of notices, widows were not so designated.
