SHREW'SBUILY AND nntmrNanam.

Mr. CoatLETT opposed the line on behalf of certain landowners
through whose property this project would pass. Mr. Thorney-croft
was one of the principal of the petitioners. He intended, if the
preamble were passed, to object to the clauses, but he hoped that the
preamble would not be declared by the Committee to be
proved. The works of Messrs. ilatherton, Henderson, Hyde,
and Clarke, awl Joseph Mellor, of Wolverhampton, would
be destroyed if the Bill were passed. There was another
line, which would come before the consideration of the
Committee, which would afford his clients much better accommoda-
tion than the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and which would not at
all injure their works. Ile therefore hoped that the Committee
would pause well before they passed the preamble of this Bill. In
endeavouring to accommodate some parties, the promoters of this
Bill proposed to injure the interests of others in a manner that Par-
liament could net sanction. Ile did not oppose the scheme merely
on the old narrow ground that it was a railway. The peti-
tioners on the contrary, believed that a railway would be
of infinite benefit to them, but they begged to repre-
sent that there was another scheme which would afford
equal and even better accommodation, without inflicting the same
Injury on private property. The Learned Counsel then explained by
the aid of a wooden model which lay on the table before the Com-
mittee, the manner in which this line would injure the property of
his clients. It this line were formed, it would divide his extensive
works, which would render them less valuable. It would also cause
the Horsley-fields-road to be raised on a high embankment, which
would have the effect of forming a complete barrier to the access to
Mr. Thorneycroft's works on the most extensive side. Further
