The point which was under consideration when the Committee
rose yesterday, which was a question as to whether a certain road,
described as a private road, was or was not a public carriage-way,
was discussed at some length. A witness was called to prove that it
was a public way, and that he la-mself had used it as such, by
going over it in a gig ; and Mr. Carter, for the petitioner (Lord
Warwick), said that he had several other witnesses to call if it was
thought necessary.
Mr, smuts acid he would not call any witnesses, It might be

and did not describe the alterations proposed to be made.' at
Mr. Buzau objected to this allegation, as it did not state _er,,

Mr. CARTER said, that the allegation eid not refer to any Partical° as
sections, but to all the sections ; and that if he coulfi show that 11,0011
