GROUP LXI.
SCOTTISH CONSOLIDATIONS.
The Committee assembled at twelve o'clock ; Sir J. Duckworth in

It will be remembered that the business of this Committee was
begun by hearing the case of the Monklands and KirkintillOch
Company, who by their Bill hold a power to pur-
chase the Garnkirk, Morikland, and Kirkintilloch line on the
deposit of 30,0001. The power was now resisted on the ground Of an
alteration of circumstances, and the Caledonian Company, Who
ap-
peared by Mr. Sergeant Wraugham, resist the transfer, on the pleatiethat it will city, rethe traffic from their line, and do so
.01
injuriously
to the country, as it would instead of passing directly f
north and south have to go round by the Glasgow and Edinburgh line,
and thus give to that company a monopoly of the district between
those two places. There were also several other purchases which
have to be made, and the real question is as into whose hands the
management shall fall.
Alter hearing counsel in continuation this morning, the Committee
adjourned until twelve o'clock to-morrow, when it is understood
their decision will be given.
