lines of railway, to connect the Lanarkshire ironworks with the
West Lothian coal line and limestone fields, to afford an uninter-

occupied the Committee during the last two days they sat.
itnesses were examined this morning in reference to the allege..
tion contained in tile petition of Mr. Townsend, the consideratio❑ of
which was referrer to in our report yesterday as having been post-

After a lengthened investigation, the Committee decided that a
sufficient publication of the intentions of the promoters had taken
place, and that the allegation of non-publication was not proved.
