learn whether wlich I Blitenlyes,
supposing the Committee were to grant one of
the two principal lines before them, that the pro-
moters of the Cambridge and Lincoln Extension
would amalgamate with the trunk line, whichever should be.
declared. He did not wish to have au answer to such an ob-
servation, he merely threw it out for the consideration of the
parties ; nor did he wish it to be understood that the Com-
mittee had as yet made up their minds to pass any particular
line.
Mr. AUSTIN wished to understand from his Lordship if
this was thrown out as a suggestion to all parties.
The Noble CHAIRMAN said that it applied to all parties
similarly placed to the Lincoln Extension.
Mr. Atisim said that the case was now olosed for -the
Eastern Counties.
Some formal evidence for the landowners on the line was
then called.
A few witnesses were then called to prove the value of the
property proposed to be taken by the Eastern Counties line.
This closed the case for the promoters of the line.
Mr. Calvert, Mr. Brent, and Mr. Spooner, were heard for
the landowners against the Eastern Counties.
No witnesses were called in support of the case.
Mr. BAINES was then heard on behalf of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Extension line. The Learned Counsel, in an able
address, sought to impress upon the Committee the supe-
riority of the line over that proposed by the Eastern
Counties or the London and York Companies.
At the conclusion of the Learned Counsel's speech, the
Committee adjourned till eleven o'clock to-morrow.
