landowners to come Itpcgoine arrangement with the promoters as to
compensation for the injury their respective properties would sustain
from the formation of the line,
Mr. Tormitax, on the part of Sir Edward Kearney, one of the
opposing landowners, proposed, after sortie discussion, to accede 10
the offer made on Monday last, which had been then rejected, viz
4,0001. as compensation.
Mr. TAYLOR, on behalf of the promoters, said that in conscquence
of the repudiation of the offer he was not prepared to renew the.!
offer, but he was prepared to refer the case to arbitration a
or to
jury, and to give 20 per cent. over the award. ei After a protracted desultory discussion, it was eventually agre
upon to leave the amount to the Committee.

opinion that the promoters should pay Sir E. Kearney 3,7501- With regard to Mr. Aylward's property, it was also decided by the

the district about Lincoln, from which they were excluded by want
of communication. This would be a great advantage, as a large
quantity of flour was cultivated in Lincolnshire. There was a yen'

_ .
Lord Worsely, who stated that he was Chairman of the Company,
was next called. He gave evidence as to the great necessity for such
a line as the proposed, and the great advantages that would restdt
from its formation. He was cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.
Mr. TEMPLE, in the course of his cross-examination, suddenly
stopped. and said that he understood that some arrangement had
been made between the promoters and the petitioners; the result of
which would be that the objections he was about to raise against the
Bills, would be obviated. He withdrew the opposition on the part
of Mr. Mainwary.

a pro-
Mr. PAGET then proceeded to call Mr. William Thorne,
prietor of land near Barrow, who gave general evi-
dence in favour of the line. The learned coitus"
was about to call the next witness, but on receiving some com-
munication from Mr. Parkes, the agent for the Bills, he
observed that he had been told that he was occupying
their Lordships' time uselessly. as Mr. Hope had re-
moved all opposition by private arrangement.
Mr. PAlikEs said that there was but one petition which had not
been disposed of in this manner, and he believed no appearance had
been made on the part of the petitioner. He had seen the agent this
morning, and that gentleman had told him that he had received no
communication from his clients for some time, and not having the
necessary papers, he was not prepared to oppose the Bills.
The agent subsequently came forward and confirmed this statement.
All opposition being now removed, the Committee proceeded with
the engineering and some other evidence pro for
Mr. Fowler, the engineer to the line, gave the usual engineering
evidence.

Mr. Parkes gave evidence on some points of form.
The clauses were then adjusted, and the Bill passed.
The Committee then rose, with the understanding that the Btli,
should be reported this evening.

The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock; Sir William Clay,
the chair.

Mr. BOYLE proceeded to sum up the case on behalf of the PO!
moters. He reviewed at some length the character of the line and the
accommodation it would afford to the important mineral field of Dal.
mellington ; to the a,ricultural produce of Kirkcudbright and Atr
shire; and to the sheep, cattle, and passengers passing to and from
tile two counties. Having dwelt shortly on the character of the oPPO'
sition to the scheme, which he submitted had not made out the case:
he concluded by calling on the Committee to affirm the preamble of
the Bill.

The room was then cleared for a decision.
On the admission of the parties,
The CHAIRMAN intimated that the decision of the Committee
that the preamble of the Bill had not been proved. Wad,

morning, Mr. Scott, the chairman of the Birmingham Canal C°7B,
piny, being the first witness. He stated that the rival schlnrd.

preambles of the London and Birmingham (Coventry to Nuo—,ol

GROUP LXI.
SCOTTISH CONSOLIDATIONS. •
The Committee on this group assembled, at twelve o'clock
in Room 33, Sir John Duckworth in the chair, when evidence 7;
given as to the curves and radii and other general features of teL
Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway, as well as of those of the a
joining and tributary lines, the object of Mr. Sergeant Wrangb
apparently being to show that, in consequence of the diffienltY ~,r,
posed by the sharpness and smallness of these curves and mill, it
would be a great inconvenience to bring all the traffic upon a
where express trains were to run, and to be crossed by minw—
trains.
A long cross-examination ensued to ascertain the extent to Wlll_4°l the Monkland and Kirkintilloch line is subject to the crossing
3"'"A passage of cross tram coal trains between the collieries
alt
the works connected with them, and which are so placed as be intersected by the railway. to
At the conclusion of this evidence, Mr. Sergeant Wassronog,
addressed the Committee on behalf of the opponents of the Monkland
and Kirkintilloch Company. In the course of his observations the
Learned Sergeant stated that the latter company were ie
fact absorbed by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, and if tiu4
amalgamation be approved the effect would be to drive the ti'i
which would naturally go by the Caledonian line, the direct course'
circuitously by the cbast. It was on public grounds alone that he e_,
it,
posed this line. The Caledonian Company had no other access .
the north of Glasgow except by the Garnkirk RallwaY. im„
less they were driven farther north to the Edinburgh and 43,0
Tbere
gow Railway, which is in the hands of an inimical company: of
is no doubt but that the Garnkirk Railway is the only dire", the
getting to Glasgow. The same effect remained with resPtjand to
and
through traffic to the north. The gauge of the Men; ditourg.
Kirkintilloch is now being altered, to suit the will
and Glasgow line, and when this is completed tit TAircirio
be an uninterrupted communication with Glasgow for the wbeit
coal-field. The Committee would have to
recollect that the
the clause of the Act which d'rected the purchase was passed' vim
railway of which it spoke, the Monkland and Kirkintilloch line.
absolutely not in existence. The question, therefore, which !.!_.rose
,t
was this, whether the clauses were binding which had been Prg"—
under one set of circumstances, upon a totally different met of "_,..,5.
By the railways as they are now, there is still an apprehended ;
com-
petition, and it acted wholesomely in promoting the general beflah`
while, if this purchase were allowed, there would be a great imPe".
raent of the traffic.
