Sub-Committee No. 1.
This Comtnittee met to-day at 12 o'clock in room No. i ; Mr. Strutt,
chairman.

CORNWALL.
This case, which was part heard on Friday, was resumed.
Mr. Burke appeared for the promoters.
Mr. ELLICOMBE proceeded to open the case for the petitioners
against the Bill. The petitions contained a large number of allega-
tions, many of them of the greatest importance if they should be sus-
tained.

The first was the joint petition of Mr. Thomas West:ake and
others.

Mr. BURKE said he had to object to the petition being gone into,
inasmuch as the petition purporting to be Mr. Westlake's had not
been signed by that gentleman. Indeed, he was prepared to prove
that Mr. Westlake was perfectly willing for the line to go on his
property.

-Mr. ELLICOMBE was 'prepared to prdre that the petitioner had
authorised the solicitor tbr the opposition to append his name to the
petition.
_ _

Mr. BURKE contended that the petition could not be received, inas-
much as it had been decided over and over. again that it was a
breach of privilege to append the name of any person to a petition
without not only his authority, but • even had he given such
authority without, in case of his not being able to write, his mark
being placed opposite his name. In this case, even admitting the
statement of Mr. Ellicombe, the petition did not contain- the
mark of Mr. Westlake, who could not write his own name.
The Committee decided that the petitioner's names in d not been
appended to the petition in conformity with the standing orders, and
that, therefore, the petition, so far as regarded Mr. Westlake's pro-
perty was concerned, could not be entertained.
The allegations in the petitions of the other parties were then
gone into.

The first allegation was, that the standing orders had not•been
complied with, inasmuch as the cross section did not show the altera-
tions proposed in a road which crossed the line. •

•
Mr. BURKE contended that it was not necessary to do to.
Mr. BRUNEL said that it was not necessary to show such altera-
tions on the cross sections ; the cross sections were valueless when
the Bill passed the standing orders.
Mr. Emacoman would maintain that the allegation was a most im-
pertant one, and he was certstin..the Committee would take the same
viewxt the question. It the promoters were allowed to take the
same view of it as Mr. Brunel, there would be no necessity of
coming before a standing Orders' Committee at alh -
Thd room was then ordered to be cleared, and after a few minutes'
deliberation,

The CHAIRMAN said the Committee were unanimously of opinion
that the standing orders had not been complied with, inasmuch
as the cross sections of roads at No. 67 on the plan did not point out
the alterations which would take place on the line, should the Bill
pass into a law.

The next allegation was, that certain roads marked on the plan
were not shown on the sections, in compliance with the 23d standing
order.

Mr. Titiasz said that as the roads in question were not intersected
by the line, Although within the limits of deviation, it was not ne-
cessary tbr them to be delineated on the section. •
Mr. Emacomau would maintain that the omission was a non-
compliance with the standing orders.
The CitAtamAN said the Committee were of opinion that, as the
roads were not intersected by the line of railway, the allegation must
be overruled.

The next was that the lessee of property, Nos. 53 and 54, on the
plan had not been served with notice, nor had hii Lame appQared in
the book &reference.

Mr. BURKE contended at much length against the allegation, but
he was stopped by
The CHAIRMAN, who said that the Committee were of opinion the
standing or ers had not been complied with, inasmuch as the lessee
of certain fields had not been served with notice, nor was his name
on the books of reference as lessee of the property mentioned in the
allegation.

Several other allegations of a similar character were sustained,
and a few unimportant ones were abandoned. This closed the case.

Pab-Committee, 110. 2.

This Committee met -to-day shortly after twelve o'clock. The
following mem;ers were present, viz., Sir J. Y. Buller (chairman),
Mr. Bramstone, Mr. Bell, Mr. Gibson Craig, Mr. Kemble, and Mr.
Walker.

EDINI3URGH, GLASGOW, AND DUMBAR-

TONSIIIIZII JUNCTION.

The consideration of the petitions against this Bill was resumed.
Mr Graham (agent for .the petitioners) suggested that the Com-
mittee should proceed with the allegations having reference to the
levels.

The Ccimmittee had no objection to proceeding in that way.
It was stated by Mr. GRAHAM that the notes which the Committee
wished to be produced had been inspected by both parties since.
Some discussion arose between the agents as to which should take
the initiative upon these notes, the one to show that the standing
Orders had been complied with, and the other the negative.
Mr. GRAHAM said that hd would make his election of the allega-
tion respecting the road marked 231, which was stated to be in-
accurate.

Laughten was examined in support of the allegations. He
made a complete survey of all the line from Glasgow to Helens-
burgh. The notes he then held in his kand were those he
made at the time of the survey, and contained complete
evidence as to the portion of the line now under discussion.
His assistant's survey coincided with his own, and had reference to
the point of datum line which they were now considering. His as-
sistant had done a great deal of business for him, and he generally
found him accurate.

The notes shewed that a mistake of seven feet had been committed
at the road marked 231.

Mr. PRITT cross-examined the witness. He judged of the correct-
ness of his assistant's notes from his general accuracy. His assistant
was not present.
Mr. _Kyle corroborated the preceding evidence.
Mr. Crewe examined—Had made a survey of the line from
Helensburgh, and the allegation as to the point 231 was correct.
Mr.-Paivr, in his cross-examination of this 'witness, inquired as
to the accurate distance of the road from the point marked 133
being two miles and four furlongs.
air. YORKE, (who entered a few minutes before) objected to this
line of examination - being proceeded with, and a discussion then arose
which endeed In the room-being cleared.
The CHAIRMAN (on our re-admission) said that the Committee
were of opinion that Mr. Fria might pursue the line of examination
he had adopted with reference to the accuracy of the section.
Mr. Frew re-examined—Made his survey at Helensburgh, and
carried it up (in conjunction with Mr. Kyle), to the point 231, and
the section was wrong at that point. It would follow as
a matter of course that the plan would be wrong
at ttpunnwalfittAhilhlxr had kts called upon to examine. Both the
_ _

Mr. Kyle, engineer, examined—The previous witness was his as-
sistant for a number of years and he generally found him correct in
his surveys. There was an error of 3 feet 6in the notes of persons
who had checked the line for the promoters of the Bill at the point in
question. The notes passed through the point of the line alluded to,
and the result showed that the error alleged was committed Was
convinced, from the perusal of these notes, that his own calculations
were correct.

Cress-examined—lt was not an unusual thing for engineers to
make their levels from different datum points, which was the case
in the present instance. There was a change of gradients at two
miles three furlongs and eight chains. There was a difference be-
tween his calculations and those of the notes made by the party who
surveyed the line for the promoters.
The Committee were of opinion that the allegation was not sus-
tained, and therefore that in this case the standing orders had been
complied with.
Several allegations to the same effect were abandoned.
The next was an allegation by the proprietor of the ferry at Beim
hill, which was crossed by the railway by two bridges.
Mr. M'KENziE proved that Mr. Smollett had a right by crown
charter to levy ferry dues on the, bridge in question, which he had
substituted for a terry boat. The line of railway did not touch the
bridge. Mr. Smollett was proprietor of the laud on the side of the
river Leaven, where the railway came to. Was agent to Mr.
Simonet

The allegation was not sustained.
It was also alleged that the radius of the curve at the Glasgow
Terminus, which was a mile in length, was not marked on the plan
deposited.
• Mr. PRITT contended that the allegation was not sufficiently
specific, inasmuch as it did not state what section was meant.
The allegation was not sustained.
Mr. GRAHAM suggested, that as the nest case which related to the
Canal Company could not possibly terminate that day, the case
should be postponed. • _ _ _ _ _

The Coinmittea then adjourned shortly before four o'clock to
twelve o'clock to-morrow.

Sub-Committee, No. 4.

This Committee re-assembled this morning at twelve o'clock; pre-
sent Sir W. Heathcote, Chairman, Mr. Cornwall Leigh, Mr.
Bramstone, Mr. 31. J. O'Connell, Mr. Hope Johnstone.

This case was postponed in consequence of the absence of a nutter's
witness.
