-on; the exclusive use of that line, bile that included a right also to a depot
and yard at Sheffield, for which other pers-Als paid 301. or 1001. a
year. Earl litzwilliam was favourable to this Bill, and had both
last year and this given permission to Mr. Byron, his mineral agent,
to testify' favourably of this line. The practice of the Midland un-
tfee' companies is to charge a penny per ton per mile.
On re-examination it appeared that therewas no clause in the Bill
to restrict the charge to a penny. There is no written agreement, hut
(
there Is one in equity and usage, Mr. Byron having arranged with the
company to the effect of what he had stated. When the Sheffield
and Rotherham Company was amalgamated with the Midland
Counties,the latter company took up all the engagements of the
former, of which this one had been hi action for seven years before.
It was upon this arrangement, and not on the statute, that the com-
pany relied for their payment.
In re-examination, the witness stated that he believed that the
evhietice of Mr. Morton end Mr. Brown was similar to *.hat which
would he given by all the other Yorkshire coal proprietors, and that,
fu fact, the rates of charge are uniform both to the Yorkshire and the
Derbyshire proprietors.
'the letters of Earlfitzwilllam, and of Mr. Newman, his Lordship's
agent, giving the assent of both to the line of the promoters, were
then put In evidence, but the assent of the former was given pre-
paratory to the session of last year, and that of Mr. Newman before
this session.
Mr. Swanwick, the engineer of the line, stated that the line from
Doncaster to Lincoln was part of the Eastern Counties scheme to get
from London to the north, hut on the passing of the London and
York gill, that portion of the Linceln and Swinton line was aban-
doned. The line as It now Weld's would join the London
aed York line about three miles smith of Doncaster,
tint there is a good opportunity of making a good junc-
tion at Doncaster. On leaving this piece the line runs up
the valley of the Don, near the lime-works at Sprotborough, where
it forked, one branch going to Barrleley, Wakefield, and any place to
the north, opening the mineral field —the other branch gave
access to Bothexhana and Sheffield, the distance to the
tatter town being eighteen miles, and to the former thirteen
and a half. The distance from Doncaster to the end of
the northern fork to its -junction with the Midland line would
he 144; miles. The worst gradient between Doncaster and Sheffield
is one In 201. which cominues for only half a mile, which, as the
heavy goods would have to descend it, is extremely favourable.
On the northern branch there is a gradient of one in
117, but nice-tentita of the heavy traffic would have
to descend that line. The smallest radius of a curve is one
,-.1 20 chains, of which there are two instances, but both are
near stations, so that they are advantageous rather than otherwise,
The estimates are 3,2004 for fencing, 50,000/. fer earth-works,
bridges, 39,0111., masonry at different points, 44,000/., perma-
nent way 78,0001., land 22,000/., stations 93,0001., and 14,7591.
tor contingencies, being something more than 10 per cent.
on the gross expense, the whole amount being 219,000/.
The examination then proceeded on the points affecting the pro-
peeties on the line. There are two turnpike roads crossed on a level,
but the witness knew of several others of far more importance than
those on a level. One of them was 'wartime station at Doncaster, and
the other neat Kilehurst.
A long cross-examination then ensued on the discrepancy between
:lie evidence as given by the witness on the expense of construe-
:ion, and the testimony he gave a year ago, but the difference was
reconciled by the explanation, that on the former occaelen one part
of the line was easy and cheap, and the other difficult and expensive.
After this a conversation of considerable length was held on the
opposition of Sir Joseph Copley, with whom the Swinton and Don-
easter Company are ready to make any compromise consistent with
their main object. The counsel, however, for that gentleman having
declined to make an election as to what deviation he would wish, Mr.
Ilthiyard, for the promoters chose the South line, which only effected
Sir Joseph Copley's property to the extent cf half an acre. There is
to be an embankment near to the house Sprothorough Hall, of above
twelve or thirteen feet high.
The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow
