way (the Waveney Valley and Great Yarmouth), alternate
sections had been deposited, which caused great uncertainty

by the mil. In the present Case the irregularity complainoi of sous
to the plans and sections of one of the proposed branches. The
Committee also Wok an objection to the non-service Of a notice
within the proper time. The omission had been caused
in consequence of the notice being sent to Newcastle-on-Tyne,
