An estimate has been made of the expected traffic. The greater
proportion of the passenger traffic has been obtained in the usual
manner from the Stamp-office Returns. The remainder of the
traffic has been carefully ascertained by competent persons, and
the charge for conveyance estimated on a moderate scale; and the
promoters confidently expect, when the various lines of railway
now projected in the south of Ireland shall be completed, that the
amount here stated will be considerably exceeded. The result is as
follows : Existing Expected
