o'clock, in room No. 8, when were present the Chairman,
Mr. Aglionby, Mr. Stansfield, Captain Jones, Mr. Aldam.

SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY (FROM WA..
TERLO 0-BRID GE TO ._THE GREENWICH)
RAILWAY.
The CHAIRMAN said that with respect to this Bill it was all
settled, except estimates of subscription. The other mem-
bers of the Committee, to whom he bad mentioned thet
matter, were of opinion that the case was so doubtful as to•
require some further consideration. By the subscription
contract the parties had bound themselves to pay so much as
was applicable to points B and C in the contract deed. If they
would refer to the subscription contract to obtain the ne-S
cessary information on the point, he would bring the matter
before Mr. Speaker, by whose advice they would abide.
Mr. Burke, Parliamentary agent, said that a simnel
subscription contract was agread to last year.
