RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
CORY, PASSAGE, AND KINSALE.

A petition of the majority of the shareholders in this undertaking
was presented to their Lordships, and evidence given in support
thereof.

After hearing the evidence, their Lordships intimated that they
would not proceed any Anther is reference to this company.

CORK, PASSAGE. AND ELACNROCN.

Evidence was given in this case by Mr. Lafenu, assistant engineer,
to Sir John M`Nell, as to the favourable nature of the gradients upon
this line. The other formal proofs having been gone into,
Their Lordships came to the decision that the preamble of the
Bid was proved, and the clauses were gone through.

NENAGN AND TEMPLEMORE.

The Committee met again this day, Lord Kenyon chairman.

The case for the line having closed,
Witnesses were called this morning by the promoters of the Great
Munster, to give evidence in favour of their line as opposed to that
proposed by the Nenagh and Templemore Company.
Mr. Barnes,. civil engineer, gave evidence to the effect that coals
could be brought to Nenagh at less price by the Great Munster than
by the Nenagh and Templemore Railway.
This concluded the evidence for both companies, and the
Committee called on the Counsel for the Great Western Company
to reply.
Mr. MURPHY, Queen's Counsel, said it was now his duty to
sum up the evidence which had been adduced and to com-
ment upon the nature of that evidence, as it affected both
lines, and to point out to their Lordships its general bearings. The
Learned Counsel then went through the whole case, and concluded
by calling their Lordships' attention to the fact that the competing
line had not adduced evidence to prove that the Nenagh
and Templemore Railway would be a remunerative one,
while, on the other hand, it had been proved beyond all
possibility of doubt, and atter a searching cross-examination, that
the Great Munster line would be of the greatest public benefit, and
would also be a source of considerable profit to the company.
The room was then cleared, and after a brief deliberation,
The parties were called in and informed by the Chairman, that
the Committee were unanimously of opinon that the Great Munster
Railway was one that ought to be made for the public benefit, and
that, therefore, the preamble of the Bill was declared proved.
The Committee were also of opinion that the Nenagh and Temple-
more, and the Ennis and Limerick lines were proved.

fhe clauses having been gone through prior to the Bills having
been recommitted, the Committee declared the Bills to have passed,
and that they would report accordingly. The Committee then
broke up.
[Hew the passing of the Nenagh line, which was not proved to be
remunerative, will be received by the House of Lords in the face of an
opinion expressed by their Lordships when the Bills were ordered to be
recommitted, for the purpose of selecting that line which would be
of the greatest public advantage, as well as of profit to the share-
holders, is matter of conjecture. We might, however, hazard an
opinion that the House will not pass the third reading of the three
Bills.]
