ther this difference of five and a half miles Gan be realised
by Sir John Rennie's line is yet to be proved, and, if realised, whe-
ther Er! ich a difference would be compensated for by the London
and Ti ark line having its, course through the towns of Hitchia,
Huritir ,gdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxferd, Retort!,
Bawtsi and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir Joists
Retrair ,'s line, the public will be able to determine.
o • the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction
of tl se London and. York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren.
nie siad Co. state, that their surveys were commenced in October,
184 3, and their prospectus published in April last, the project for
a ne vs railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs
in 1 638, and in that year carried into Parliament. That in 1840 Mr.
bs agair, brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis.
slot tens, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That
sue scheme was never abandoned by him, but in February of the
pr scent year the details of the London and York Railway, as now,
w ith modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett.
I Jett son, ALP , who suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis
Up' watt, the Vice-Chairman, and arrangements were made for per-
fee .ing the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the
me 'nth of March following, and on the 16th of April the project
vr as announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of
ti se " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Eir
. John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction die.
tinctly affirm that this course over the first seventy miles from
London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not
suggested to them by any other parties; and they beg further to
observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon-
don and York Company has been before the public for a period of
five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub.
scribed, ana its shares has attained a high premium its the market,
that Sir John Rennie and Company have conic forward with what
is intended to be a counter project, and with the mis-statements
here siisposed of'.

All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Com.
mittee, be idle.
