GROUP LXX.

All the members of the Committee re•assembled this morning (Sir
George Clerk in the chair), and proceeded to hear evidence in oppo-
sition to the

Dual.= AND ENNISHILLEN.

Mr. MURPHY, Q.C., stated that his clients had been unable to peo-
dues a Mr. Little, whose evidence they considered most essential to
show the shameful manner in which the shares of this Company had
been obtained, and he therefore applied for a summons to compel his
attendance.

Mr. Sergeant Mnarriv opposed the application.
The room was ordered to be cleared, and on our readmission
The Citatamax said the Committee considered, after the evidence
laid before them, that it would be necessary to have the evidence of
Mr. Little, and if Mr. Murphy's clients should not be able to pro-
duce him at the next sitting of the Committee, the Committee
would apply ro the Speaker for a warrant to compel his attendance
for the purpose of showing how the shares in question were dealt
with in the month of January.
Evidence was then tendered in support of the allegation of non-
Clau vouletion nn the Fart of the com.
pany.
Mr. Sergeant Muapav replied, and contended that the promoters
had complied with the resolutions, and that the undertaking was a
bona Bile one, and had carefully inquired into the character of the
applicants for shares. He denounced the opposition to the Bill as an
attempt on the part of another company to stifle competition, and
that in support of that attempt they had suborned witnesses, who
had fortunately escaped punishment for the forgeries of which they
had acknowledged themselves to have been guilty in their transac-
tions with this undertaking.
Mr. Sergeant WitaNciiam having briefly addressed the Committee
•
in answer to the observations of Mr. Sergeant Murphy,
The room was cleared of strangers. On our re-admission,
The CHAIRMAN said, the Committee after much deliberation have
decided to call for no further evidence upon the subject of these
transactions at Kells, and have desired me to communicate to the
parties the resolutions to which they have come—" That it appears
to the Committee that the agent of the London and Dublin Bank at
Kells applied to the Dublin and Enniskillen Railway Company to
give them information with respect to the character and solvency of
the persons residing in that neighbourhood who applied for shares.
That a thousand shares were granted to several poor persons
possessing no means to pay for them ; that the transactions
connected with these proceedings are highly disgraceful to the par-
ties concerned in them. The Committee, however, are of opinion
that no evidence has been given to connect the Dublin and Enniskil-
len Company which took place at Hells.
The CHAIRMAN then said, that if three gentlemen of the name of
Little, and one of the name of Batterly, were not in attendance on
Monday, for the purpose of enabling Counsel to enter into the case of
fraud practised in London in connexion with the undertaking, the
Speaker would be applied to for warrants agninst them.
The Committee then adjourned till Monday.
