The Committee resumed their inquiry on this railway at twelve
o'clock this morning.
Mr. Blagdon, an attorney for the line, was called by the pro-
moters, and stated that the population on the projected line within
five miles on`both sides of the line near Petworth was 55,359, while
on the atmospheric line there were 6,963 houses, and a population
of 35,506 within seven miles. There were thirty-three seats of
noblemen and gentlemen within seven miles on both
sides of the line. There were also nineteen corn.
mills within seven miles of the Halfway-bridge, midway
between Petworth and Midhurst. The thirty-three seats were be-
tween Chiffingford and Chichester. The Halfway.bridge was
about three miles and a half from both Petworth and Midhurst,
rather nearer to the latter. The number of houses in Chichester
was 1,609, and the populaann 8,512.
To the cross-examination of ALEXANDER, the witness stated
that he had not taken any particular notice of the population of the
places within two miles westward of Chichester.
To the cross-examination of Mr. WAnot::rwrox, Mr. Blagdon
stated that he had included Bognor in hie estimates—
the number of houses 500, and the population 2,490. The esti-
mates of houses and population which he had made, was fur seven
miles of the line on both sides throughout the length of thirty
miles on the line between Guildford and Chichester. On this
line the number of houses was 14,235, and the population
73,000. On the atmospheric line the distance he had
Liken was thirty-four miles, the number of inhabited houses 9,529,
and the population 49,000 within 5 miles of the line. During
that distance, the number of inhabited houses was 10,641, and the
population 55,359 on the Guildford, Chichester, and Portsmouth
line, while on the atmospheric line there were throughout the 34
miles, 6.963 houses, and 35,506 population.
Mr. F. Giles, surveyor and engineer, stated that he had laid out
and constructed the Guildford and Woking line, and had surveyed
the line from Guildford to Chichester. The gradient of lin 100
was now every practicable gradient, and he had applied the gradient
of 1 in 110 througout six miles on the Guildford and Chichester.
On the Manchester and Liverpool line there were gradients of 1 in
89, and 1 in 86 ; and on the Newcastle and Carlisle line,
which had been constructed by himself, there was the gradient of
one 1 in 106, which was four miles long, and he thought that the
gradients on the Guildford and Chichester line were anything but
difEcu lt.
To the inquiries of Mr. OSWALD. Mr. Giles stated that the
gradients of 1 in 86, and 1 in 89 on the Manchester and Liver-
pool line, were each one and a half mile in extent, and no extra-
ordinary power was required to surmount them. He had been
allowed on one occasion to stop the trains during the whole day at
the foot of the rise, in order to ascertain this very point, and
the engines had all gone over the plane without the
momentum, and without any increased power. The works on the
South-Western line were, in his opinion, much more difficult
than those on the proposed Guilford and Portsmouth line. He had
laid out a line to Gosport from Bishopstoke, and also to Portsmouth,
but in that line he had never contemplated going to the town of
Haslemere, although he had intended to go so near as to give ae.
cornmodation to that town. In 1836 he had attended a meeting at
Portsmouth, and there a direct communication with London bad
been suggested to, and earnestly advocated by, the people of
Portsmouth, in which a connexion with Arundel was included, but
no scheme had ever been projected which did not comprise
Chichester.
Mr. Locke being recalled, stated that the distance by way of
Brighton to Portsmouth from London was 95 miles; 501 miles
to Brighton from London.bridge; thence to Shoreham, 5 miles
5 chains; thence to Chichester, 22 miles 5 chains; and thence to
Portsmouth, 16 miles, making a few chains !Pas than 95 miles.
The present line to Gosport was 88 miles long.
By Fareham it would be to Shoreham 84 miles ;
thence to Corham, 6 miles; and thence to Portsmouth, 3 miles;
making the whole distance about 93 mites. The distance to Hun.
gerford.bridge would be 1 mile and 6 furlongs further. He was
not aware whether there was any decided agreement between the
Brighton and the Chichester Company, though he had understood

that the Shoreham Company had leased their line for ten years.
To the Liquifies of Mr. OSWALD, Mr. Locke stated that there
were to be two stations at Chichester—one for the Guildford line
and the other for the Shoreham line, both. however, comrnunicaiing
by railway; and there was no reason why both stations should
not be amalgamated. The distance by the proposed line
from Hungerford was 76 miles, being 18 miles in favour of
that line. The whole of the earthworks and works of art without
land would cost, from Guildford to Chichester 476,0001., and from
Chichester to Portsmouth 180,0001., making together 656,001/.
for the whole. On the whole line there would be nine sole cuttings
and fourteen spoil banks ; the former occupying about 31 acres,
and the latter 56 acres. Between Chichester and Portsmouth
there would be eight side cuttings, which would occupy from 22 to

24 acres.
To Mr. GURNEY—Mr. Locke replied that there was au arrange.
ment between the Government and the South-Western Company
for the electric telegraph to Portsmouth for ten years, for which
they were to pay 1,500/. a year. The London end of the tele-
graph Was to be at the Admiralty, and there would be a great ad-
vantage by the proposed line in avoiding the water at Gosport.
To the inquiries of Mr. OsWALD Mr. Locke replied that it was
intended to cross four turnpike levels at a level, near two of which
there would be stations.

Mr. Long, formerly a resident at Portsmouth, and who, since

that time had held an appointment as police magistrate in
Van Dieman's Land—lto had always taken a great interest

in the railway communication with Portsmouth ; indeed every
requisition for a public meeting and every resolution had been
drawn up by him. In MG the secretary and solicitor of the
Southampton line had called upon him with a view to establish a
communication with their line, lout at that time, the desire of the
inhabitants was for a line eastward; but he now thought that the
proposed Guilford line was the best for the business transactions of
Portsmouth. In his opinion the proposed line was at least
40,0001. a year better than the two other lines, and there was, he felt
assured—no feeling ofjealousy at all of the South-Western Company,
and though he did not now reside at Portsmouth he took the same
interest in the town as before. . _

Mi. Horne was recalled, and put in a comparative table of the
fares charged by the Birmingham, the South. Eastern, and the South
Western Companies, from which it appeared that the proposed
charge was the same, or less, than those charged by other companies.
The maximum charges for passengers were intendel to be 3d.,
2d., and Id. per mile for first, second, and third.class pass, nEers.
Mr. GURNEY then put in the agrectnent for the lease of the

Guildford and Woking line, and also proposed clauses for securing
the working of the line to Portsmouth as efficiently as it was now
worked to Southampton.
This closed the case for the promoters.
Mr. RANTLINSON then stated that he and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd

had agreed to amalgamate their cases, and proposed that the latter
Learned Counsel should address the Committee in opening, and he
himself, if they thought proper, after the examination of their
witnesses.

This being agreed to,
Mr. Sergeant reaPOURD proceeded to address the Committee on
behalf of the inhabitants of Portsmouth. He said that putting out
of the question that important connexion of the town with the
great naval power of the country, the whole of the population of
the district from Chichester to Portsmouth, if taken within seven
miles of the line, there was little in excess over that of the town
itself, and if it was taken within five miles the disproportion in
the numbers was still less, and he therefore thought the
feelings of the people of Portsmouth were entitled
to great consideration. Now, in the course of his opening, Mr.
Cockburn had made the admission that the feeling of the people
of Portsmouth was decidedly in favour of the atmospheric line, and
against the Guildford line. Mr. Casher, the Mayor, had admitted
that on the 7th of the present month he had presided over a meet-
ing both very numerous and highly respectable, at which not more
than fifty hands had been held up in favour of the line of the
South. Western Company. From this meeting a petition
had emanated, which, in the course of four days,
had been signed by upwards of nine thousand persons.
With respect to the fictitious signatures attached to that petition
he should show that they were put to it in several instances as a
mere joke, and in one case the name of the Earl of Dalhousie had
keen signed by the clerk of Mr. Gauntlett, who had himself ap.
peered as a witness to vitiate that petition, and in the presence of
that gentleman's son. This he adduced not to throw any stigma
on the promoters of the Bill, but to show how in a large place like
Portsmouth such irregularities as these would easily be fallen into,
but if he stood there merely as the representative of
the five respectable individuals who were appointed by that
meeting, and setting the petition altogether aside, still the feelings
of the people were entitled to respect. With regard to the feeling
of jealousy between the towns of Southampton and Portsmouth,
it was quite natural. Considering the position of the two towns,
and the Isle of Wight, and the increase of importance of South-
ampton, this was quite natural, and when the inhabitants of Ports-
mouth saw that the whole of the traffic was under the direction of
people who, from their connexion with the South_ Western line and
the plaee to which it ran, naturally felt a great interest in ti.at place,
would, in all probability, give a preference where their interests
were so largely cone rued. It was, therefore, to say the least, but
little likely that Portsmouth would receive its due share of consi-
deration. Sufficient evidence had been adduced to show that the
people of Portsmouth had always desired a line directly to London.
And what he would ask, therefore, was, not a preference for the
atmospheric line, but that the Commilee would pause before they
decided. It was perfectly evident that if this line was
made. another could not be hoped for; for if this was
once achieved, the capital once invested, no change
could possibly be expected, and the people of Portsmouth
would be handed over in perpetuity to the South-Western Com-
pany, who would unquestionably obtain a completely despotic
power over the interests of the 60,000 persons who constituted the
population of Portsmouth and Purtsea. This, therefore, was no
case of common monopoly, but it was an entire despotism over an
important port, which, notwithstanding their utmost energy, they
could never throw ofF. Then, with respect to the clauses which
were proposed to secure the interest of the people of
Portsmouth, they all knew, from the experience and the
incidents in the court; of law, that this was no sufficient defence,

as was shown in the case of Mr. Parker and— the Great Western
Railway, in which he ii ad been engiged. That Company bad
thought proper to mark out Mr. Parker as the object of acids's'
lousy, and had charged him an extra sum for his packages over the
amount charged to their pet contractors, Messrs. Chaplin
and
Horne; had refused to allow him to put several parcels together;
or to deliver to his own customers. It was true, Mr. Parker had
succeeded in defeating the Company, partly through his (31r.
