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

DUBLIN AND ENNISKILLEN.

Mr. MURPHY, Q.C., stated that his clients had been unable to pro-
duce 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 Muarrir opposed the application.
The room was ordered to be cleared, and on ear re-admission
The CHAIRMAN 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 to the Speaker for a warrant to compel his attendance
ler the purpose of showing how the shares in question were dealt
within the month of January. • • • • •
Evidence was then tendered in support of the allegation of non-
compliance with the Duncombe resolutions on the part of the com-
pany.

Mr. Sergeant Mummy replied, and contended that the promoters
hail complied with the resolutions, and that the undertaking was a
bona fide 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 WEANGHAM having briefly addressed the Committee
in answer to the observations of Mr. Sergeant Murphy,
The room was cleared of strangers. On oar 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 resolution 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

The Cusizmiae then said, that if three gentlemen of the name of
Little, and one of the name of Batterl.v, veers not in attendance on
Monday, for the purpose of enabling Counsel to enter into the ease of
fraud practised in London ill connexion with the undertaking, the
Speaker would be applied to for warrants agninst them.
The Committee then adjourned till Monday.

R ATE,-1 his fashionable watering-place is now
crowded with visitors. In fact, it was never known to be so
full before. Lodgings are not to be obtained at any price.
The spirited proprietors of the
public gardens have been at
great pains and expense to afford every attraction to the
numerous visitors ; nor have their exertions gone unre-
warded. The attendance during the past week has been
very great—Kentish Observer.
THE PRESENT HOT WEATHEL—The most agreeable
relief during this_ hot. weather, is the use of Ross and Sons
Esprit de Lavande, as it is not only the most durable ofiper-
fumes, but the most reviving and refreshing. It is made from
the finest lavender water, perfected with extracts from the
choiFest flowers, woods and Oriental gums, and smells, if
possible, more pleasant as it dries on the handkerchief, than
when first applied. It has taken the sole proprietors2o years
to bring it to its present state of perfection. Address Ross
and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who import the
finest French perfumes, made expressly for them in the south
of France, and which are four times the strength and flavour
of any to be obtained in Paris.
