SPECIAL REPORT.
EXETER, YEOVIL, AND DORCHESTER RAILWAY.
Mr. Strat reported from the Select Committee on Petitions for
Private Bills, to whom several petitions complaining of non-compli-
ance with the standing orders in the case of the petition for
the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester Railway Bill were referred,
that it appeared that the said petitions " had not the name or short
title by which such Bill is entered in the Votes written at the
beginning thereof, nor was it there stated whether such petitions
were in favour or against the Bill, or relati' g to tke non-compliance
with the standing orders " as required by standing order, No. 1l l a.
That the said standing order, No. I l I a, is not one of the standing
orders relating specially to the duties of the Select Committee on
Petitions for Private Bills, but is one of those relating to the practice
of the House ; but as the attention of the Committee has been called
to the point in question by the petition of Edward Woolmer, which
has been specially referred to this Committee, the Conunittee con-
sider it their duty to submit the point for the consideration of the
House.
