(YESTERDAY.)

It was next alleged that in section 73 the owner of the property
was not set forth ia the books of reference In the sheriff's clerk's
office, which was not sustained.
The next allegation was that In the said plans and sections the
point between 18 miles 1 furlong and 18 miles 5 Anions was not
marked, which was not pressed.

It was next alleged that in the same section the extreme depth of
embankment between the eighteenth mile and fourth furloog and the
nineteenth mile was not marked, which alkgation was sustained.
The next class of allegations was, that due notice had not been
served on the proprietors of the land at various points along the line,
and that there was a discrepancy between the plans deposited with
the respective sheriff's clerks of the counties through which the lino
was to pass, and those in the Private isill-oftice.
It was then alleged that notices had not been served on the pro-
prietors and occupiers of the properties frotn section 8S to 107 inclu-
sive.

Evidence was heard in support of this allegation, which the Com-
mites found to be sustained.
This was the last allegation in this petition.
The next petition was from Sir John Maxwell, alleging a non-
compliance with the standing orders, in
.support of which Mr. Locke
appeared.
The first specific allegation proceeded with was that the 12th mile
and 32d furlong in the county of w
—enfrew were not marked on the
plan deposited with the sherdrs clerk for the same county, which
was sustained.
The next allegation was that there was a similar inaccuracy with
respect to the turnpike-road, No. 1, et the 10th mile and sth furlong,
in the parish of Neilson, and the sections marked 139, which the
Committee found to be sustained.
'the next and last allegation of this petition was, that there was
an inaccuracy in a certain point of the datum line.
of inaccuracy was she Committee foustained.und at the point 33 but 2 inches. The allegation
Mr. LOCKE said that there was another petition, with which, how-
ever he did not intend to proceed.
The CHAIRMAN then announced that in the case of this Bill the

Standing Orders Committee.
MIDLANDASARNSIEY, SnmrrixELD,DEVITS.
231Trat, MEIZZEI, AND lia.$5.llOllOELD.
This Bill asks for powers to construct a line of railway between
Wathing and Dewsbury, by a junction with the North Midland
Railway at Wath-upon-Dearne, in the county of York. The length
Is Itqe miles, and the cost estimated at 370,000/. The Parliamentary
agents are Messrs. Dyson, Hall, and Parker; and the engineer, Mr.
Henry E. Scott.
Mr. WRIGHT, on behalf of the petitioners against the Bill, ap-
peared to support the several allegations contained in them. The
first was, that the promoters had given notice in the London Ga-
zette of their intention to apply to Parliament for an Act to enable
them to construct six lines of railway, nhereas they were now only
going to apply for powers to construct one line. Such a course
was clearly in opposition to the standing orders, and such had
frequently been decided to be the case. Last session, the Direct
Northern, the Poole and Doncaster, and Wells and Denham, besides
several other n
ier projected lines, were rejected by the Committee on this
very ground. It was deceiving the public when promoters gave
notice of their intention to make 30 or 100 miles of railway, and after-
wardsill or Bills, and they were
promoters had given notice of
only intend to construct 18 miles. In the case of the Direct
Northern, notice was given for a long line, and the promoters applied
for a short one, which was held to be irregular, and the standing
orders not to have been complied, inasmuch as the notices given to
the landowners were irregular and insufficient.
Mr. HARE, for the promoters, contended that the standing orders
perfectly correct when they asked for a Bill to construct a direct
line of railway running teem a termini to a termini. They
thhaedi rbeen intentioncomplied
p
ly
were aeandoning district projects, and not a part of the one they

or the
moreß
contemplated. The promoters of the Direct Northern gave up a part
of their main line, and their case leas not a parallel one to the pre—
sent. lie submitted to the Committee that for all the purposes at
publicity and convenience the standing orders had been literally
complied with.
The Cualameer said that the Committee were Inclined to think
that the standing orders had been complied with, but until they
had co/leaned precedents upon the
subject
theywould not publish
their decision. The matter must standover for a short tune.
Subsequently, Mr. AGLIONRY (who had been out of the room for a
few minutes, Mr. Buller occupying the chair in his absence), said
that he had no doubt the standing orders had been compliedwith,
and the Committee formally decided that they had,
By agreement the allegations
were argued before the formal proofs
were received.
The next allegation was that the promoters had not given notice
of their intention to sell _or lease their line to the Manchester and
Leeds Railway or Midland Railway, powers to enable them do so
being contained in their Bill.
Mr. Ham. said those clauses hadot into the Bill
and they were quitethat ready and willing to strike them out.by accident,
The CHAIRMAN said that If the promoters expressed their
readiness to do ro to the Standing Orders' Committee, they
might probably allow them to abandon that Part of the Bill,
but as the standing orders had not been complied With, this
Committee must report accordingly. It Was clear that as they
had not given any notice of their intention to apply for powers to
sell or lease their line they had no right to petition for a Bill to en-
able them to do so.
Mr. Waionx then abandoned the remaining allegations, and the
usual formal proofs were given ; and the Committee decided that the
standing orders had been complied with, except in the instance of
the clauses about :cline; or leasing the line.

OTYCMSTIM

The promoters of this tindertakingseek Ibr a Bill to enable them to
construct a line of railway from a point on the Oxford branch of the
Great Western Railway to Cheltenham direct, with a branch from
war Oxford to the river Isis. The proposed line is intended to form
a junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway at Chelten-
ham. The length is 39 miles and 7 furlongs, and its estimated cost
550,0001.
•
Engineers, Messrs. B. Albans and R. Nicholson ; Parliamentary
Agents, Messrs. Dean, Dunlop, and Hope; Solicitors, Messrs. Millerand Mcore.
The usual formal proofs were accepted, and the Committee then
proceeded with the petitions against the line, of which the clerk pro-
duced a frightfully large bundle ; and to complete the dismay of the
promoters. Colonel Sibthorp appeared in person to oppose them. The
Gallant Colonel was warmly and cordially receleed by all the mem-
bers of the Committee.
The first petition considered was that of Mary Rae, and it alleged
that with respect to a part of her pleasure ground at the fourteenth
mile, through which the line was shown to pass on the plans depo-
sited at the Private Bill-office, she had received no notice whatever.
Mr. Tuomas appeared on her behalf.
The Committee decided that as there was no proof of her having
received notice the Amain' eater* had pot been compiled with in
this lastiwce.

The consideration of the remaining- allegations in the petition of
Mr. Andrew Brown, on the part of certain
noble lauded proprietors
on the line, was resumed.
An allegation to the effect that there was an inaccuracy in the
marking or the second point of the datum line was abandoned.
Theinext allegation was that the number indicating the extreme
depth of the cuttings in the
Parish of Paisley, which were marked on
the plan at the Private Bill-office numbers 322 and 323, were omitted
on the plans deposited with the sheriff 's clerk for the said parish.
This allegation, with some slight modification, was admitted.
A similar allegation was abandoned.
The petition next alleged that in section 69 of said branch, in the
Same parish, the numbers were not set forth in the plans and sections
deposited in the Sheriff's-clerk's Office.
This allegation was sustained.
It was further alleged that there was a discrepancy between the
plans deposited in the I'rivate Bill Office, and those in the She] iff's-
clerk's Office, 021 the 13th mile and 22 furlong, the same being
marked in the former as 15 feet 5 inches in height, and the span 01
the arch 35 feet, and in the latter the height was set forth as 13 feet
5 inches, and the span of the arch 20 ieet.
Evidence having been heard, the Committee found that the allega-
tion was sustained.
Mr. Lama sant he would propose that he and his friend Mr. Pritt
should retire, and endeavour to come to sonic arrangement with
of the Committee.

allegatiOns, ihstead of occupying the time
The CnaramaN said he did not WIZ: it.was likely that they (the
agents for and against the Bill), would agree, and he therefore would
advise him (Mr. Laing) to go on with the aljegations.
Mr. LAING said, that he would proceed with the petition under
these circumstances.
The next class of allegations were that there was inaccuracy in the
books of reference; those depos-teititt the Sheriff's Clerk's office not
being copies of those in the Pri; c Bill Office.
The first instance of the alleg,f. In eura y was in 13 A, which

Mr. Paul. called on Mr. Laing to show the consent of the parties
Petitioning.
This being done, and evidence adduced for the allegation, the Com-
mittee found that in this case the standing orders hat not been com-
plied with.
Mr. LAING here suggested that Mr. Pritt should admit that the
plans in question were not duplicates of those in the Sheriff's Clerk's
office, which would relieve the Committee from going into the re-
maining allegations.
The Csfalasfast thought that Mr. Laing had better proceed.
An instance of the alleged inaccuracy was adduced, but not sus-
Wised. •
Mr. Lasso said that, in the following allegation, he had not the
consent of the parties interested, but would wish to proceed with the
allegation, in order to test the question upon which it turned.
The CHAIRMAN—Then your allegation must fail.
Mr. LAING Said, that in the case of the Ayrshire and Galloway
Railway the course he suggested had been adopted.
The unAmmi,., was of opinion that Mr. Laing should read his
legation, and then show the consent of the parties, and if he could
not de the latter, the allegation would not, of Course, be sustained.
Mr. LAING said in that cast: lie would proceed with the next but
one allegation, which stated that in section 45 in the plans in the
Private Bill-office the property referred to, was set forth differently
in those deposited with the Sheriff's clerk.
The Committee found that the evidence adduced was too vague,
and therefore that the allegation was not sustained.
The petition next alleged an error of the same description with
respect to section 29. The right owner, lessee and occupier, were
not set forth.
