(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)

The next allegation was to the effect that the properties situated
'mar the Bradford and Leeds and the Wakefield and Leeds Branches
were not numbered in the book of reference deposited with the clerk
of the peace of the West Biding.
For the promoters it was alleged that the numbers were entered
upon the pages, which disappeared from the book after it was depo-
sited with the clerk of the peace.
The Committee decided that the allegation was sustained.
The next allegation charged that the levels, as laid. down in the
sections deposited, were inaccurate to an antotust from six to sixteen
feet in the depth of the cuttings. _ _ _

After the engineering evidence in support of the allegation had
been received,
Mr. GREcoaY, for the projectors, said that he would admit that
between the pints set forth there was an error of about ten feet,
hoping that the engineer, Mr. Murphy, would give such an explana-
tion as would enable the Committee to report favourably for the
promoters on this point.
Mr. 'Murphy, being examined at some length, explained that the
error was occasioned throughout by one mistake made in casting up
the figures at the commencement of the levelling, that is, at the
Wakefield end of the branch.—Allegation sustained.
Kr. 1 Rirr, for the petitioners, then said that this concluded
their case.

The Committee then proceeded 'with the

portion of the line. We have had one change In the direction
caused by the resignation of Mr. Coltman, who found it impossible,
on account of his numerous engagements, to attend properly to the
duties of a director in this Company, and we have filled up the
I vacancy by electing a gentleman well acquainted with Belgium and
the most influential parties in it, Mr. Alex. Greig. There is one item
in the report which will, perhaps, surprise some of you, that we have
effected a loan of 16,0001. This did not arise from any want of
meene, as we knew perfectly well, if we had sought more money
from the shareholders, that we should have received it ; but we
thought, by obtaining that sum in the shape of a loan, that It would
save the inconvenience and loss of time necessary to
make up a capital of five millions of francs, which
we were compelled to deposit with the Belgian Government.
We could effect a loan sooner than a call, and we, therefore,
borrowed this sum at 41. per cent., and invested it at CI per cent.
interest, so that we have not done much harm; in fact we have re-
alised a profit on the transaction! rather than lost by it.
There would have been no difficulty in obtaining the amount
frost the shareholder, because we have 5,000 or 3,000 shares which
We might have forfeited, and thus realised a considerable amount if
we had thought proper; but we have not done so, because we believe
they have cot beta taken through accident, in IN hich opinion we are
confirmed by gei itlemen who have arrived from ahread stating that they
were ignorant of the fact that shares in the Company had been allotted
to them, some of wltom, on paying St. percent., have been allowed to
take them upon. Those who have not yet paid in their shares will
no doubt soon do so. 10,C00/. out of tile 16,1001., to which I have
referred is deposited in the Belgium funds. I thought I would explain
to you the affairs of this undertaking in the way I have done, be-
cause I imagined I could do so inure familiarly than through au
official report, which, however, contains a statement of our proceed-
ings, and a great deal of information which you are no doubt desirous
to know. I shall therefore call on the secretary to read it.
The SECRETARY then read the report, which simply described the
course of the hue and the produce of the various districts which it is
designed to benefit. The concluding paragraphs stated that the
directors could not refrain from congratulating the shareholders on
their possession, for a term of ninety years, of a railway whirl! not

GLASGOW WATER-WORKS BILL.
Mr. LOCKHART complained of the non-attendance of the
Members appointed to the Setect Committee on this Bill. He
thought that it was very unfair that the promoters of the Bill
should be saddled with the expenses which these delays occa-
sioned, and moved that the Committee on the Glasgow Water-
works Bia be again revived, and have leave to sit on Thursday,
At twelve o'clock.
Mr. FOX MAULE thought there was something that• re-
quired correcting in the mode in which the Select Committees
were conducted. These delays, whether created by the ab-
sence of the appointed Members, or by the absence of the
parties connected with the Bill, entailed considerable expense
on the promoters, at d were highly objectionable.
Mr. ESTCOURT was very glad that the subject had been
brought before the House, as it would lead to the more re-
gular attendance of the Members appointed to the Select
Committees. It seems it was stated to the promoters, that if
they fixed the time for the meeting of the Committee for Mon.
day, it was quite impossible for them to attend, as they would
not have an opportunity of being made aware of the circum-
stance.

Mr. O'CozorEr.r. gave notice of his intention, on the second
reading of the Life and Property Protection (Ireland) Bill
to move certain resolutions.
Lord lltrxcAN postponed to Tuesday, the 31st of March,
his motion for the repeal of the window tax.
On the motion for the further proceeding with the report
on the customs (the tariff),
Mr. STAFroni) O'ButEs took occasion to complain that
the Right lion. Baronet at the head of the Government
had not proceeded with many of the measure that
had been promised at the commencement of the ses-
sion. Ho thought the House had a right to complain
of the manner in which the Right Hon. Baronet had brought
or rather neglected to bring what :he called his great
scheme before the House. He was anxious to know when
the whole of the scheme was to be brought forward, and he
complained of the absence of the Right Hon. Baronet from
the House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER raid that the ab-
sence of the Right Hon. Baronet arose from public business.
The measures that had been alluded to were in a state of pre-
paration, and would be brought forward immediately. There
was every disposition on the part of the Government
to put the House in possession of all these measures.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE- CHANCELLOR'S COURT, March 16.
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
TIIE ATTOENEY-GENERAT. V. HODGSON.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
His Iloxoux, at the conclusion of the case, gave judgment
allowing the demurrer, considering that the gift of Christo-
pher Flaherty came within the provisions of tile law of
mortmain.

Mr. BOUVERIE considered that those Members should
be reported to the House who did not attend to the Com-
mittees appointed them.
Lord G. SOMERSET considered the promoters to blame,
as they had been informed of the impossibility of the members
of the Committee attending on Monday, but notwithstanding
this notice they had appointed the Committee for that day.
Mr. BARNARD thought that the Committee of Selection
ought to appoint a larger number of Members for each Com-
mittee, and that a certain penalty should be imposed on such of
them as neglected to attend.
Mr. AGLIONBY did not quite understand the Hon. Mem-
ber for Greenwich. The Committee of Selection had exe-
cuted their duties exactly as they had been authorised and
directed to do by the House. They first ascertained
chat Members were most likely to attend the Com-
mittees, if appointed to serve on them. Letters
were invariably sent, at an early reriod of the session,
to the Members of the House to inquire whether they would
sit as members of Committees, and also inquiring on what days
it would be most convenient for them to sit. In every instance
be believed that the Committee of Selection consulted the con-
venience of Members as much as they possibly could. The
lion. Member for Greenwich had also suggested that a much
greater number of the selected Members should be appointed
to sit. But that would only increase the inconvenience;
they had even a great difficulty in finding a sufficient
number as it was. They had no means of compelling their
attendance, and the consequence was that towards the end of
the session they would scarcely muster a quorum, if the
House thought that the present system should be remedied
they ought to take the subject into their own hands. He
hoped that what had been said would have the effect to calling the
attention of those Members who had been appointed to serve
on Committees, but did not at present perform their duties in a
satisfactory merincr. He hoped that they would do as much
as they could to prevent the unnecessary delay and expense to
which the public were put in consequence of their non-attendance.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, 'lima 16.
(Before Mr. Commissioner SIMPLIEUD.)
IN RE H. BOUCHIER.
The insolvent in this ease, who was a captain in the navy,
now on half-pay, applied for his interim order. His debts
were stated at about 10,000/, and be off,red to set aside 25/.
a year out of his half-pay, which was 218/. per annum, for
the gradual liquidation of his debts.
Mr. Tucker' as solicitor for the insolvent, said that 7,0001.
odd out of the 10,0001., stated to be debts, were liabilities. He
was captain of a certain vessel, and he undertook to take
care of a cargo for a person. The ship was wrecked, and an
action was tried and decided against the insolvent. The cargo
was worth about 5,000/. "Captain Bonchier has been residing
abroad for some time, and he came here at the request of his
creditors, all of whom, with the exception of one or two, to
the extent of about 3004 were willing to accept the proposi-
tion of 25/. a year.
The insolvent, on examination, stated that he took the
benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act in 1835, with debts
to the amount of 9,000/, which were all paid, with the
exception of about 900/, by gradual payments of 401. a
year out of his half-pay. That sum was stopped
by Government. His daughters never kept an academy in
France, and they were never in one. He had resided in France,
where he hired a house anc furniture at 80/ per annum, but
there was no furniture in France of his own. The insolvent
had made voyages to India, during which lie had been very
unfortunate. He had resided in Ostend, but he had no pro-
perty there. His wife had a private income souse four or
five years since, and she sold it to pay off an over-due bill
upon which an action hid been brought; and in conse-
quence of it the insolvent had suffered ekver. months' impri-
sonment in France.
Mr. RYDER, as solicitor for a Mr. Yates, said he appeared
to Oppose upon the ground that the insolvent had contracted
a debt of 50/. with his client in Belgium, without any reason-
able means of payment.
Mr. TUCKER said the insolvent had no indea of taking the
benefit of the Insolvent Act when he contacted these debts,
and his son, who was second mate in a shi?„would have paid
Mr. Yates. Had the creditors not reque.sted his client to
come to this Court, he would not. Uuder ail the circum-
stances of this case, he (Mr. Tucker) hoped the Court would
grant the interim order.
The Learned CONMISSIONER, looking at all the facts of the
case, granted the interim order.
The insolvent will pay 25/. a year to his creditors.

STAINED GLASS.--Mr: W ilinstiast, in a paper lately
read before the Freema,:ons of the Church, observed, that
"upon the general introduction of cassical architecture, we
find very little stained glass was usd for souse time, and la-
mentable uliitakes were coreminittel, such as removing the
mullions of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, in order to intro-
duce a window from a design by Vest, which was painted
by Jervais and Forrest, and the window in New College
Chapel, Oxford, painted from Sr Joshua Reynolds's de-
sign, is exceedingly poor in effect and quite inappropriate in
character for the beautiful baildirg in which it is placed ;
but, on the other hand, withow better knowledge of these
subjects, there is less excuse brt he glaring absurdities per-
petrated at the present time, a; for instance, placing a Go-
thic window in the Roman cbch of St. George's, Hanover-
square.—The Builder.

DISFIGUREMENT OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—TIIO
unsightly disfigurement at the east end still remains, and nu-
merous other long pipes have sprouted up in various parts of
the building. The continuance of the abominable deformity
to which we have already more specially alluded, will im •
peach the taste and good feeling of every architect academi-
cian.--The Builder.
