GROUP LVI.

The Committee met pursuant to adjournment at twelve o'clock
this morning, when Mr. Ewart took the chair ; the same Members
being present as yesterday . They proceeded with the case of the

LONDON AND CROYDON (THAMES JUNC-
TION BRANCH).
And the cross-examination of Mr. Cubitt by Mr. num), on
the part of the Surrey Canal Company, occupied them for a
considerable time. This line crosses the canal, and it is on account
of the injury that will thereby be done to the Company that they
petition. The Bermondsey, itotherhithe, and Deptford Road Trustees
also petitioned against the Bill, and the witness was cross-examined
by Mr Powza on their behalf.
Mr. Gibson, the lessee of the Dinimans Docks. which will be one
of the termini of the proposed line, was then called. He proved that
he laud agreed to transfer his lease (for 99 years) to the London and
Croydon Railway. The rent they were to pay was 1,5001. per annum,
but if they bought it, they were to pay 9,0001. for it.
Cross-examined by Mr. POWER—He himself was to pay 1,0001. per
annum as rent, to Mr. Evlyn, the proprietor, so that he would have
5001. per annum profit.
The case for the promoters being now concluded,
Mr. ?own addressed the Committee at great length as to the
mischief that would be done by the crossing of the line over Grove-
lane, which he represented to be a very important and much fre-
quented thoroughfare. This street is to be crossed on a level, and
about twenty trains per diem will pass over it. There will be twelve
carriages in each train, and the thoroughfare will be stopped each
time for about four minutes.

Several witnesses were called to prove the importance of the
thoroughfare, and the mischief that would result from the stoppage
of the thoroughfare. It was stated that the office of the victualling
department was with within a few yards of the crossing.
The examination of these witnesses occupied the Committee up to
four o'clock, at which time the Committee adjourned till to-morrow
at twelve. The case on the part of the Surrey Canal Company will
then be commenced.
