GROUP XX.

The Committee on this (the Windsor) Group met to ,day, at twelve,
in Room No. 31, present Mr. Sotheron (chairman), Mr. Pigott, Sir
William Ilentinck, Mr. Tancred, and Mr. Ross.

They proceeded to hear the arguments of counsel on the point in
part reserved from yesterday, in the ease of the
LONDO tY AND WINDSOR.

It will be remembered that the continued evidence in favour of this
line was Interrupted by the Chairman stating that it wss, in the
opinion of the Committee, fatal to this Bill that the consent of the
Commissioners of Metropolitan Roads had not been obtained by the
promoters, to cross those roads on a level. According to the ar-
rangements then agreed to,

3lr. DIEREWETHEN, for the promoters, now addressed the Com-
mittee. He said that the present plans were such as the Metropolitan
Roads Commissioners would assent to.
Mr. Cockauaw, on the other hand, contended that the ecthsent of
the Commissioners would be now of no avail, as the alteration of the
plans was such as to bring the Bill under the fifteenth standing order.
The promoters would require to build a bridge, whereby their limits
of deviation would extend into lands not laid down in the plans de-
posited, and of which the owners were not named in the book of
reference. .

After some discussion upon this point, from which it appears i that
in some cases the standing order in question had been dispensed
with,
The CIIAIRMAN said the Committee had heard nothing to induce
them to proceed further with this case. Whatever might be the cir-
cumstances under which the standing order had been elsewhere dis-
pensed with, they must hold it to be fatal to the Bill.
The bill was ac,ordidgly thrown out, and the Committee took the
RICHMOND (KEW BRANCH).

Mr. CHAMBERS stated the case of the promoters. The proposed
line was Intended to be connected with the Richmond line about
to be very shortly opened. It would extbnd from Mortlake to Kew,
the length being little more than a mile and a half, and the cost was
estimated at between twenty-five and twenty-seven thoxisand
pounds. There would ultimately be a continuous Brie from the
York-road to Kew, an accommodation of great advantage not only
to the pleasure traffic, but to the scientific traffic of the metropolis.
The Learned Gentlemen then went into a detailed statistical enume-
ration of the numbers and various classes of visitors for pleasure or
science to the Botanical Gardens at Kew, and the other points of
attraction in that neighbourhood. He quoted largely from the re-
ports of Sir W. J. Hoooker, in the years 1845 and 1846, on the Royal
Botanic Gardens and the proposed new Palm-houses, at Kew, to
show the importance of this railway in a popular as well as scientific
view.

It will be remembered that the continued evidence in favour of th!s
line was interrupted by the Chairman stating that it wss, in the
opinion of the Committee, fatal to this Bill that the consent of the
Commissioners of Metropolitan Reads had not been obtained by the
promoters, to cross those roads on a level. According to the ar-
rangements then agreed to,

GROUP XIV.

LIVERPOOL, ORIVISIEXILIC, AND PRESTON.
The Committee met at twelve o'clock.
The case on the part of the promoters was opened by Mr. TALBOT,
who briefly stated that this line was one which must evidently have
considerable advantage over the others which were under the consi-
deration of the Committo, as it would only cost 750,0001., while the
others would cost 1,600,0007., and would by no means afford the same
accommodation as the one for which he appeared. The length of the
main line was 23% miles ; the Liverpool and Bury branch was three
miles ; the Southport branch was 12 miles, making the length of the
entire line 38% miles, showing a considerable difference in favour
Of the line over the Canal Company.
The Learned Counsel then called Mr. Eccles, who proved that the
line w0.,1d be of considerable benefit to the country, by the exten-
sive accommodation it would efford.

Dr. Williams stated that along the intended course of the line there
was a great want of accommodation for the passage of goods, and
that evil would he removed by the formation of the line.
Mr. Samuel Cherey proved that the terminus of the line was so
situated as to afford the greatest possible accommodation to the
district.

Mr. Smith, examined by Mr. BRANDT (who appeared on the part
of the promoters), stated that there was great want of accommoda-
tion for goods at the station of the North Union line ever since the
station had been enlarged. The rates en the line were still high,
though they had lately unde'gone a reduction. There was es ery
necessity for the formation of this line.

GUILDFORD, CIiXCHEST R, PORTIWOUTII,

AND rarzEuAryz.
Their Lordships met this morning in Room A (New Hones of
Parliament) at the usual hour. Lord Beaumont in the chair. All
the Members were present.

The case on the part of the promoters of the Guildford and Chi-
chester was proceeded with.

The Duke of Richmond was called by Mr. Sergeant WRANGIUM to
give evidence in favour of this line, which his Grace declared to be
far superior to the Direct London and Portsmouth, not only on
account of its being shorter (by two miles), but also as it gave ac-
commodation to more important places. Chichester was by far a
nitre important place than Petersfleld, and he thought it would be
much better to have Chichester on the main line and Peterstield on
a branch, as they would be on this line, than to have Pe' ers-
field on the main line and Chichester on a branch, as proposed
by the Direct London and Portsmouth. It would be
a great t.dvantage to the rich agricultural Cistricts through which
this line would pass, to have the direct communication it would
afford to London and other important places. The Direct London
and Portsmouth would certainly r o considerable damage to his pro-
petty, but he was not the person to oppose a railway Bill on such
a ground as that. He denied that he had entered into an agreement
with the London and Portsmouth, by which he became an interested
party ; " and indeed," observed his Grace, " I never yet was con-
nected in any way with any railway, and I never intend to be."
Ills Grace was not cross-examined by counsel on the other side.
Other NV ithe.,,es were then called, and gave similar evidence.

The Committee on this Bill met again this day at eleven o'clock ;
Lord Somers in the chair.

The case for the promoters having closed, Mr. Alexander, Q. C.,
opened for Mr. Fountain Wilson and other landowners opposing
the line.

The Learned Counsel contended that the line was unneces,ary- to
the population of the districts -which it proposed to accommodate ;
and that the injnry it would do to property would be much more
than the good which would result.

WAI%WICZ AND WORCESTER.
This case occupied the whole day. Several allegations were sus-
tained, and the standing orders wore not complied with.

A STAG HUNT.--The Earl of Sheffield turned out one
of his stags on Monday, before Sir James Langham's hounds, which
led the pack a good burst over the Downs to the sea side, and from
the pace they were going it was feared that stag and hounds would
have gone headlong over the cliff at Newhaven ; but the stag made
a dead stop at the brink of the cliff, and took up his station upon an
overhanging dock, where he remained for some time, and the hounds
wore fortunately whipped off before they arrived at the cliff. Attar
the lapse of half an hour, the stag slipped down a cavity in the cliff,
almost terpendicularly, and reached the beach, a distance of above
one hundred feet, in safety. He then took to sea, and swam out
four miles before he was captured. The Earl of Sheffield was esent
during the run and the recovery of the stag.
POOR MAN'S GUARDIAN SOCIKTY.—A requisition
from a respectable and influential body of the inhabitants of West-
minster has been forwarded to the Committee of this Society, to
convene a meeting in the Western Literary and Scientific Institution,

live *al-a-half per cent. guaranteed by the London and South

Western Railway Company. ,
An advertisement having been published in the newspapers by par-
ties interested for a rival company, falsely assaming that this scheme
will not be carried out, and inviting the serip-holders to co-operate
with them " in order to wind up.the Company."
The Committee of Management of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor-
chester Railway think it their duty to caution the scripholders
against any such specious and delusive proceedings.
There is not a ralway Bill before Parliament whose prospects are
more sound and cheering than that of this Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor-
chester Company ; the Shareholders have a positive guarantee of
five-and-a-half per cent. from the South-Western Railway Com-
pany in perpetuity, thus ensuring a profitable and certain return to
the Shareholders. It is a measure of the highest national import-
ance, as effecting the best and most direct route between London and
Exeter, as well as between Dover, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Fal-
mouth; and is highly appreciated by the populous and agricultural
districts through which it will pass.
The Bill has already passed the Standing Orders' Committee, has
been read a second time, and is appointed to be heard on its merits in
the week beginning on. the 4th of May. "

The Exeter and Exmouth Railway, 'being an extension of the
Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester, and running for two miles over its
trunk, has already received the unanimous' sanction of a Committee
of the House of Commons on the merits, the Committee, at the same
time making that sanction contingent on, and in anticipation of, the
success of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester Railway. Under these
auspicious circumstances, the Committe3 entertain the strongest con-
fidence of carrying this Bill triumphantly through Parliament.
The Committee of Management will take the earliest opportunity
of convening, by public advertisement, a meeting of scripholders, in
pursuance of the swional order of Parliament, when a copy of the
Bill will be submitted for their consideration and approval, with a
full statement of the affairs of the Company.

earlier notice of the second reading, the Stockport Improve-
ment Bill be permitwd to be read a second time this day, not-

pired.—The motion was agreed to.
Mr. SPOONER moved that the Glasgow Harbour Grand
Junction Railway Terminus Bill, of which notice of report
had been given for this day, be reported this day, notwith-
standing the resolution of the House of the 7th day of April.—
Agreed to.
Mr. T. EGERTON moved that the petitions of James Lock
and the Mersey and Irwell Navigation Company (presented
22d April), praying for leave to withdraw their former peti-
tions against the Warrington Waterworks Bill, be read ; end
that the Bill be treated as an unopposed Bill, and referred to
Mr. Greene and the Members ordered to prepare and bring in

Viscount SANDON moved that it be an instruction to the

Committee of Selection, that the Liverpool Sanatory Regula-
tions Bill, the Liverpool Paving, Sewering, and Watering Bill,
the Liverpool Water Bill, the Liverpool and Harrington Water-
works Bill, and the Torteth Park Improvement Bill, be re-
ferred to the same Committee.—The motion was also agreed to.

money in hand; an abstract of receipts and expenditure, and also a
statement of the source whence the deposit was paid to the Ac-

acripholders should, without delay, be made acquainted with the
financial condition and prospects of this Company, not only that they
may judge of the propriety of going on with the project, but also be
satisfied whether the information which Parliament will require can
be satisfactorily supplied. It is therefore proposed that a. requis
should be signed as numerously and presented as speedily as possible,
calling upon the Directors to convene a meeting of the Scripholders
forthwith, and lay before them the exact position of affairs.
Requisitions are now lying for signature at the office of C. M.
Strettan, Esq., 18, Southampton buildings, Chancery-lane, London;
and C. S. Gelman, Esq., Bethel-street, Norwich. Scripholders, to
whom it is not convenient personally to attend to sign, are requested
to send an authority to that effect, stating the number of scrip held
by them.

ACCIDENT RELIEF SOCIETY.

The annual festival of this institution took place last
evening at the Albion Hotel, Aldersgate-street ; Lord Ash-
ley in the chair.

The dinner was served up in admirable style. On the
removal of the cloth the Noble Chairman gave the usual loyal
toasts, to which ample justice was done. " The clergy," with
which was coupled the health of the Rev. Mr. Cole, followed,
which that gentleman acknowledged in a long and eloquent
speech, enforcing the claims of the charity to public support.
Lord ASHLEY then gave the toast of the evening, and en-
tered fully into the merits of the institution, dwelling upon
the happy effects of its prompt assistance to those unfortu-
nate individuals who had met with any serious accident.
Lord J. MANNERS proposed the next toast—" The health of
the Noble Lord in the chair." The Noble Lord said there
was no occurrence which had taken place during the last
session so much to be lamented as the retirement of Lord
Ashley from Parliament. There was one consolation, how-
ever, in knowing that although he had left the House of
Commons, he was not lost to the charitable institutions of
this country. Lord John concluded his address by drinking
the health of the chairman, with a hope that his future life
might be as useful and successful as his past had been.
Lord ASHLEY briefly responded. He said that next to the
success of the measures he had brought before Parliament,
he courted no reward so much as the honest, steady, and
sober esteem of the enlightened and benevolent citizens of
London.—(Cheers.)
The other toasts proposed and drunk were the healths of
his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, and the rest of the patrons
and patronesses; the stewards of the day; the secretary
and committee, and the stewards elect.

Daring the evening Mr. R. Croxton, the secretary, an-
nounced the various subscriptions which he had received,
amounting to 300/.
The company were enlivened by the vocal talent of
Messrs. Robinson, Edney, and Ransford, under the direction
of Mr. Shoubridge.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, April 24.

EAST v. EAST.
This case, which was one chiefly of accounts, came on this
morning for judgment and further directions. The Master's
report found a large amount due for capital and interest from
the executor to the estate of the plaintiff, who attained
his majority in 1832. The Court proceeded through the de-
tails, remarking on them at great length, and in
the main confirming the finding of the Master, but
disallowed the claim" for interest on the balance calculated
from 1826, one year after the death of the testator, holding
the executor liable to be charged with interest only since
the time of the heir attaining his majority. There
were three items of 4001., 1,150/. and 1,000/., which
particularly engaged the attention of the Court
in delivering judgment. They all appeared against
the executor in the Master's report, but for the 4001. a
promissory note had been put into the hands of the plaintiff
on his attaining the age of 21, in 1832; and, since then, up
to 1842, he had used no effort to realise the proceeds. The
Court, under these circumstances, could not hold the,execu-
tor liable unless it were proved that the note could never
have been liquidated. On the 1,150/. no interest could
be allowed, for it was the debt of the deceased co-executor. The
defendant always believed the 1,000/. secured by a mortgage,
but whether a mortgage existed at all did not appear in evi-
dence, he was, therefore, chargeable with that sum, and the
Court ordered a reference to the Master, to inquire, into that
debt, with liberty the defendant to take proceedings to get
in this suns of 1,000/. due to tke plaintiff's estate.
