" From your knowledgt of the property in the teighbour-
hood, can you sav OM the houses have net tiocreased in value?
—Yes ; I knevt an instance of a ttettliSrnan who had a house
very mu, and though he quaff el'ied very much with the Com-
pany when they came thee, and said, Very well, i' you will
come, let me have thigh wall to keep yee. out of sight and a
year and a hte ago he petitioned tht Company to take down
the welt, and he has put up eii iron railing, so that he may see

" Do jou knew Whether the poor-rates in the different pa-
rishes have deceased since the establishment of the Railway ?
Yes ,; doubtless it has beat an immense advantage to the pa-
rishes through whick it passes, and remains to be.
" Both as to the employment of the poor, and what they
contribute to the rates ?--Yes ; both ways.
" You- have spoken of all sorts of agricultural produce, do
they also carry manure and lime?--Yes.
" For the lands upon the line?—Yes ; it furnishes very
great fealty for the transmission of manure. In estimating
the Cost of conveying manure upon a turnpike road, I have
ever found, under the most favourable circumstances, it
could not be done for much less than 6d. a ton per mile;
and it is conveyed by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway
Company, to the farm of which I spoke, for Is. 6d. per ton,
the distance being nine miles by the turnpike-road.

" You are a Director of the Stockton and Darlington
Railway ?—I am.
" Are you aware whether, in advertisements for the sale of
property between Stockton and Darlington, the approxima-
tion of the property to the Railway has been mentioned as
an inducement for a high price ?—Yes, invariably, both in
sales and lettings.
" In addition to the increased value of land, do you conceive
that is any other benefit resulting to the landowners from
the construction of the Railway ;. for instance, materials ? in
numerous instances the owners of the adjoining estates have
found it greatly to their profit to dispose of timber, stone,
brick, earth, and gravel, and other materials which otherwise
would have been nearly valueless.
" Have the Railway Company contributed to the poor-rates
of the parishes through which they pass?--I consider they are
assessed at the rack-rental in the parishes.
" Can you give the Committee an idea of the total amount
of the poor-rates in any one parish?—As the sum is generally
agreed upon per mile—in case of no litigation—it will vary
according to the distance the railroad extends through each
of the parishes. In one particular parish, the Railway Com-
pany is rated to one-half the amount of the valuation of the
Parish.
" Are you a landowner on the line ?—I have a farm of 100
acres intersected by the railway.
" Where is it intersected ?—The railway passes through the
homestead.
" Do you find it a balance of convenience ?—lt is princi-
pally a grazing farm, and the consequence is, that I cannot
speak much to the convenience that way. I get more rent.
" Are you a commissioner of turnpike-roads in that neigh-
bourhood ?—Yes, I am.
" Are you of opinion the establishment of this Railroad has
tended to injure the turnpike-roads, by diminishing the amount
of tolls ?—I consider it has been a very important benefit to
the southern trusts in the county of Durham •, the principal
carriage on them was heavy materials, which being removed,
the roads were maintained in better order for less money.
" Therefore the road has been improved ?—Yes.
" Upon the occasion of your Stockton and Darlington Bill
being in Parliament, did the Commissioners of those roads
petition against the Bill ?—They were successful, with other
parties, in throwing us out once.
"In spite of the opinion they expressed, the result has
proved they were wrong?—Decidedly."
However much some parties may be inimical to rail-
roads, the time has now arrived, in consequence of so many
having been sanctioned by the Legislature, when it has
become only an act of justice to the owners and occupiers
of lands where no rail-roads now exist, to give them a
chance of competition with the land-owners and occupiers
in those counties who have the benefit of those rail-roads ;
for how can an agriculturalist who pays 20s. a ton for the
carriage of his manure and produce, compete with one
who can have the same quantity conveyed for 6d. a ton ?
