HOUSE OF LORDS.
CORNWALL RAILWAY.

The Committee met at eleven o'clock, the Earl of Ellenborough
In the chair.
The following gentlemen were called in and examined by Mr.
Rows: in opposition to this Bill : —Mr. Pendarves, M.P. for Corn-
Captain Heset, and Captain Holland. These witnesses, for
the reasons already repeatedly stated by other witnesses, preferred
re central line to the southern, and alleged their belief that if
14'e central line had been deemed a successful project, many of the
mlluential men in Cornwall, who were now in favour of the
4°Othern line, would be advocates of the central one.
14r. Brunel laid before their Lordships a section showing curves
lathe Cornwall line.
Rowe addressed their Lordships for the opponents to the
ftliat great length. The scheme was a grcat delusion, and the
failure of the central line was entirely owing to the panic which
e=latedin the Money Market at the time it originated. The sue.
t

111;74 measure, owing to the assistance of the Great
oaten, Railway Company, aided by the report of the
card of Trade :in its; favour. There could, however, be
doubt that the Cornwall line was highly disagreeable
a great mass of the inhabitants of Cornwall and Devon, for 150
liTtitions had been laid on the table of their Lordships' House against
the
Amongst the opponents to the line he had called some of
5 Most wealthy and influential men as witnesses, even including
lirtionten and Members of Parliament. The Cornwall line was,
filth, a most impracticable line, and would never answer the
7rPmes for which a railway should be established. It would
tither have speed or regularity, and he might add safety.
The Learned Counsel then went on to read the passages of the
P 5), rt of the Board of Trade, and confute them seriatim. After

14 Confer very great advantages on the farmers in the district,
;atise it would give a direct and speedy communication with
'eeds,
Blackmore, station.master at Normanton, spoke to the
business there, and the regularity with which trains from their
Parate companies arrived and departed. Nothing could be con.
.uct.ed in a more regular manner.
ItoSnnilar evidence was given on the part of Sir John Simpson, of
.I.k. Mr. Phillips, Mayor of Pontefract, and others. They all
dered that the Brayton project would benefit the district by
i it up a direct communication with Leeds and Bradford.
