Was. a h prctject called the Uirrninghain and Shrewsbury Line,
whic would compete with the present line. It was thrown
out in the Standing Orders Committee, and it is now before
this Committee as a competing project.

Group X
LONDON AND YORE LINE.
, The Committee appointed to dispose of the lines compre-
thheinsddeady in group X assembled, pursuant to adjournment,
in Committee-room No. 8, and proceeded to hear
evidence in reference to the London and York projected line.
The Earl of Lincoln was the first witness examined. His
evidence eras to the effect that, he was well acquainted with
the line now under consideration of the Committee, and he
was decidedly of opinion that the project would be most im-
portant and beneficial in its results to a vast district of country
n that neighbourhood.
The next witness called was
Mr. Welby, ALP , for Grantham. He deposed that it
would be important. to have a line of communication be-
tween Grantham and Boston, and also between Newark and
ISheffield. Therefore it would be of importance that a western
O9le of communicAtion should be made. But the Grantham
Pe Would be the most important in the first instance. A
e of communication between Newark, Nottingham, and
Lincoln would also be necessary.
bTo the Committee—A line of communication by railway.
„, etween London and York, would also be very important;
witness's opinion on those projects had been formed
in-
dentetn of considerations of expense.
bo: r. T. Brainsford, a resident for thirty years in the neigh-
!Prbrod of Nottingham, gave evidence as to the ex-
e traffic in corn between that district and Wales.
wenty..five years ago there was not more corn grown in
Inst. district than would be sufficient to suppert the in-
aabltants ; but of late it had become a very extensive ex
duce County, and the farmers had to waggon their pro.-
sixteen sixteen miles, and to bring back coals, &c., by the same
Whole
The London and York line- would open the
°le of fi that farming county on to Rugby, for he
lid no doubt the London and York Company would form a
breech to Rugby for the country afforded every facility for
wedo,ing, there not bein a fall of more than forty feet the
-uole of the five miles. g
ybeouirnaktorryowse.examination he said he did not think a line could
made at the east side of the river, as the nature of the .
as such as to afford no facilities. The London and
Gr.,' line Passed nearer to his land than the proposed
srbi and Spitsby and Boston lines.
"p • Cholmondely said he had given the different
eared projected lines through Lincolnshire a great
that
of attention, and was well acquainted with the nature of
.:stErpica.rt of the country. His opinion was, that, considering
Zee present, as a national project, it would be of great ser-
ail that district. All the towns in the southern
prod, bad become the depots of the agricultural
to the Of that district. The nature of the country
required southern district was a light soil, and
VseitZg a vast deal of manure, and therefore it would be ad-
aent tßie.°lla to get it cheap by railway. Bark was also much
article "Ipa,gll. that part of the country, and was a very heavy
their the north of Lincolnshire the farmers sent
%osp7tB by Rotherham to Wakefield.
Liaeol—e e,,,atoined—A line between Boston,. Nottingham, and
Peteet t'„ tatitl be of importance, but witness was not com •
yakC4toefte;B fully on the subject. The London and York
cf dno neejus,. t proposed to make any line from the east
hire to Nottingham.
