DIRECT LONDON AND MANCHESTER.

The Committee resumed the consideration of the remaining alle-
gations in the second petition against this Bill.
' The petition alleged that in the plan deposited with the clerk of
the peace for Ilereford, the piece of ground adjoining No. 70, and
marked 68, was not marked on the said plan.
' There was another allegation, and the Committee found that in
both cases the standing orders had not been complied with.
It was alleged that the boundaries of the counties of Derby and
Stafford were not marked on the plans deposited with the clerks of
the peace for the said counties, which was not sustained.
It was further alleged that certain portions of land through which
the line was to pass, numbered I, 2,3, were omitted in the books of
reference, and that there was a similar omission in the section
marked 34, in the parish of Tutbury, both of which were admitted.
The next allegation was that the property marked No. 128, within
the limits of deviation, was not in the books of reference or in the
plan depositedin the Private Bill-office, which was sustained.
It was alleged that numbers 2 and 3, in the county of Stafford,
and the properties 8 and 9, were not marked in the manner required
by the Act of Parliament. These allegations were sustained, the
former being admitted.

The nest allegation was that the property No. 136, and adjoining
No. 135, was not marked on the plan deposited in the Private Bill.
office.

It was contended on the part of the promoters that the ground in
questien was included in section marked No. 138.
The CHAIRMAN considered that this plea could not avail the parties,
and, therefore, the Committee were of opinion that the standing
orders had not been complied 'a ith in this case.

Dyson and Co., the Parliamentary agents; and Messrs. Simpson and
Co., the solicitors.

There were against this Bill no less than five petitioners, but no
appearance was made in support of either of them, and the Com-
mittee there&re desired Mr. Coates (who appeared for the promoters)
to proceed with his case.

Mr. Coal.Es said that as this was an opposed Bill, he thought it
hardly fair to take advantage of the absence of the petitioners. He
only expected one appearance to be made, and that was on the past
of Mr. Joseph Parkes, a landowner in Derhy.4
The Cuessleax said that surely, if it was intended to oppose
the Bill, there must be some person present who would be
able to amount for the absence of the petitioners, and if so, they
ought to come forward.
AS nobody did come forward the case was proceeded with, and the
usual formal proofshaving been given, the Committee declared the
standing orders complied with.
