The petitions against the Bill, complaining of non-compliance with
the:standing orders, were then considered.

The first petition taken was from Mrs. Frances Mary Richardson
Kerr, alleging generally inaccuracy in the notices served on her

sive, and 18, 19, 13, 104, &c., in the West Riding of York, the pro-

on her.

Mr. rAIIICES admitted that there were errors in the notices.
This allegation was sustained.

The neat allegation was, that the mode in which the property
would be affected in the sections in question was not set forth in the
schedule.

Mr. PARKES objected to this allegation being entered into, inas-
much as it was included in the preceding allegation.
After some discussion the Chairman ordered the room to be cleared.
The CHAIRMAN, on our re-asimission, said that the Committee were
of opinion that they might proceed with tho allegation, and that
they might hear individual cases.

been complied with, inasmuch as the height of the embankments and
cuttings where the railway crossed were not stated.
It was next alleged that there was an inaccuracy of the same de-
scription with reference to the section 119, which was marked 117.
Evidence having been heard in support of the allegation, the Com-
mittee found. that in this case the standing orders had Rot been com-
plied with.

The next allegation was that In section 123, in the parish of North
Barley, there was a similar inaccuracy, which was abandoned.
The next allegation was, that in section 155 the embankment was
not set forth, which was sustained.

There was a similar allegation with reference to section 116, a
train-road marked 110.

This allegation was abandoned, as well as some others of a similar
character.

It was alleged that in the same district, where tunr elling was sub•
stituted for open cutting the same was not stated In the schedule.
This allegation was sustained.

There was a similar allegation with respect to section 35, which
was sustained.

The next allegation was, that in various parts of the petitioner's
property the depth of the cuttings was not set forth.
After some discussion between the agents, the Committee found
that in this case the standing orders had been complied with.
The next allegation was, that in the cross-sections, where the pro-
posed alterations in the level were to be made, the same were not
set forth.

Mr. PARKES contended that this was not a case that came uader
the standing order.
This allegation was sustained.

and fifth furlong along the line in the parishof North Barley was not
marked correctly.

20, a stable adjoining a public road, which was sustained.

oxPoRD, WITNEY, AND CRELTENBAII7.
Some additional proofs of a formal nature, which were not forth-
coming at the former sitting of the Committee, were adduced in this
case, after which the allegations of the petitioners against the Bill
were proceeded w th.

Several allegations that the books of reference were incorrect,
In as far as they assigned the ownerships of certain fields,
closes, and woods, in the parish of Dowdeswell, through which the
line is proposed to pass, to parties who had no title in the property,
were made out to the satisfaction of the Committee, but the promoters
afterwards called a witness to prove that the error, if there were any
at all, was attributable to a party who resided In the parish, and
whom they employed to supply them with the names of the owners
and occupiers of the land in Dowdeswell proposed to be intersected by
the line.

Castlebar, Saturday Morning.
The polling was proceeded with very slowly during the
greatest part of yesterday, and one of the booths (the Carra)
was closed, only 15 voters haying polled in it. In another
(that in which the Gallen freeholders were polled) the num-
ber of voters given was 22, just two beyond the number re-
quired to keep it open. The third booth, which included
the baronies of Murrisk and Costello, the strongholds of the
anti-repeal candidate, would have been also closed for the
second time, but for the arrival of the agent of the Marquis
of Sligo, with about 40 freeholders, for whom, accompanied
by a large military party and three magistrates, he had gone
early on Thursday morning to the west. Shortly after their
arrival the struggle began anew in the last mentioned booth,
and, after a sharp contest, 20 voters were polled in it before 5
o'clock, the hour for closing the booth for the day. At 6
o'clock the assessor declared the state of the poll to be,
