RAILWAY COMMITTEES
(PHIS DAY.)

Sub-Committee NO. 1.

The Committee resumed sittings this day at twelve o'clock
in room No. 7, consisting of Mr. Strutt, Chairman, Mr. Bro-
therton, and Mr. Evans.
NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE (CHURNET
VALLEY) RAILWAY.

This case, which was part-heard yesterday, was resumed.
Mr. BURKE (for the promoters) called witnesses to prove
the formal points; after which,
Mr. GREGORY (for several petitioners against the Bill)
opened his case. The first was the petition of Mr. Edward
Chancellor, the owner of several houses which are to be
taken for the purposes of the line. The allegations were
that he had not received notice in writing of the promoters'
intention to take such property, and that the datum level of
the line, near the river Bollin, was incorrectly marked upon
the places. There was abld an allegation complaining that
an•arch, which was to be constructed by that river, was im-
properly marked. Mr. Gregory then in support of the latter
allegation quoted several authorities.

Sub-Committee No. 2.

The following members of this Committee sat to-day at
twelve o'clock, Sir J. Y. Buller; (eliairman),Mr. Deedes, Mr
Kemble, and Mr. Bell.

THE AYRSHIRE, BRIDGE Or WEIR, AND
PORT OP GLASGOW .TITIFCTION Raiz_
WAY.

The examination of the witnesses to ascertain if the stand-
ing rules of the House were complied with was resumed.
The CHAIRMAN said he found some erasures in the deed,
where the names of the attesting witnesses were subscribed.
Mr. DEANE contended that the erasure did not vitiate
the deed, and cited clause 32 of the Railway Act to show
that the deed was drawn up in conformity with the law.
The CHAIRMAN then proceeded with the hearing of "the
petitions against the Bill. These were from Mr. W. Napier,
and the Glasgow Company.

The allegations of the road trustees were taken first, and
these contended that the rules of the House were not com-
plied with, the deviation in the line in the parish of Kilbarton
not being fully described in the notices.

Mr. Dizartis said that they had given all the information
required by the law, namely, the depth of the embankment
and of the cuttings.
The CHAIRMAN said that in this case the Committee were
of opinion that the standing orders had been complied with.
The petition of the
GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND GREENOCK

RAILWAY COMPANY
was then beard, and contained an allegation that the standing
orders had not been complied with, inasmuch as that the portion
of ground No. 28 marked in the book of reference, was described
as being vacant--the ground was the property of the Rope
Walk Company in the neighbourhood.

The CHAIRMAN, after hearing some witnesses as to the
boundary of the line, said that the Committee considered the
orders of the House were complied with.

It was also alleged in the Petition that there was an inac-
curacy in the datum line, there being seven furlongs marked
oa the sections, while there were only six furlongs on the plan
to the port of Glasgow harbour.
The CHAIRMAN said, the Committee were of opinion that
the standing orders had not been complied with in this cas
The next allegation was, that the radius of every curve
not exceeding a mile in length was not marked on the plan,
which the Committee considered was sustained. _

The next allegation was, that there was inaccuracy in the
description of the cotton mill marked No. 66 as being on the
line, which the Committee considered sustained.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee were of opinion
that the Company had not complied with the standing
orders of the House.

Sub-Committee No. 3.

The Sub-Committee No. 3 met at the usual hour this
morning; Mr. Aglionby in the chair.
THE ASHBURTON, NEWTON, AND SOUTH

DEVON RAIL w AY.

The formal process having' been taken in this case, the
Committee declared that the standing orders had been com-
plied with.

THE IRISH GREAT WESTERN.

--
The promoters of this line also proved that they had given
the necessary notices, and so deposited the plans and sect►ons
as to entitle them to bring in a Bill, and the Committee de-
cided that the standing orders had been duly complied with.

LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY
(DORKIN G BRANCH).

The next case brought before the Committee was that of
the London and Brighton Company, who petitioned for leave
to bring in a Bill to make a branch from a point on theirmain
line to a place at or near Dorking, in the county of Surrey.
The Committee took an objection to the plans and sections,
because the point of junction with the main line was not dis-
tinctly stated on the plan of the datum line of the branch.
Mr. RaSTICE admitted that this information was not fully
set out on the plan, but if the Committee would strictly
scrutinise the plan they would find that it was an error of
the printer, and not of the engineer. But on the plan of
the datum branch and the main line the point of junction
was mathematically stated, and any engineer could at the
first glance hit upon that point.
The CHAIRMAN did not question for a moment that an
engineer could arrive at the information without difficulty,
but this was what the public complained of. They said the
plans of many railway companies' branches were so prepared
that none but a professional eye could decide on looking at
the plans,the precise point where the junctionwas to be made.
The Committee decided that the standing orders had not
been complied with.
