(Continued from eur Afternoon Edition.)

Mr. LANG, in the absence of Mr. Talbot, objected to this course,
which he said was " lugging in by a side movement the question of
the York and Carlisle, being an opposing line, which the Committee
had already decided."
The CmaIRMAN, after consulting with his colleagues, said they
had come to the conclusion that Mr. Murphy, appearing for a peti-
tion against the line, and not for a rival company, could only cress-
examine the witness as to the merits of this line, and not as to the
comparative merits of other lines.
The evidence on the part of the promoters of the Bill was then pro-
ceeded with.

Colonel wood, M.P. for Brecon, and Lord of the Manor of Middle-
ham, in Wensley Dale, gave evidence as to the necessity for a line
opening a communication between the vicinity of Middleham to
Manchester, Liverpool, &c. There was a great want of such com-
munication for agricultural purposes, such as conveyance of cattle,
Ste. Large numbers of lean cattle were driven or carried on trucks
from the north, to be fatted at Middleham, and the numbers would be
vastly increased If there Was a sufficient railway communication.
Thfs line would afford that communication.

- .
Captain Laws, Manager of the Manchester and Leeds Railwa
gave similar evidence, and added that so, much need was there of
railway communication, that greengrocery was actually carried from
Covent-garden market to the manufacturing towns of the neighbour-
hood through which this line passed, for the use of the poor of those
towns, although these articles were grown in great abundance in the
agricultural districts immediately adjoining.
Mr. Thomas Bramley Moore, chairman of the Liverpool Dock
Committee, gave general evidence as to the necessity for a line of
communication between Liverpool, and the places through which this
line would pass. lie could not say anything as to the merits of this
line, as he had not considered the subject. •
Mr. Allan, steward to Lord Wharucliffe at his country residence
at Aawes, gave evidence as to the necessity for, and recommenda-
tions of, the Hawes branch of this line.
I Mr. TALBOT then said, that as he believed the Committee were
satisfied of the importance of this district, he would not give any
/ further general evidence, but he hoped the Committee would give
him leave to call further evidence in case the opposite party should
give evidence to contradict what had bean preyed.
After some discussion this was assented to.
As it was now near four o'clock,

Mr. TALBOT said that at this late hour he would not enter into
the engineering evidence, as, if the:Committee were willing he thought
it would be best to adjourn.
The Committee assented, and adjourned till to-morrow at twelve
o'clock.
