market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies com-
peting for the line of railway between London and Manchester pro-
pose to pass. It will then proceed, also, in a direct course to the
market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of 'Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but also to the north.
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed on the one hand in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, and on
the other by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Raiser', on the rising port of Great Grimsby.
By an union with the Sheffield and Great tlrimsby Junction Rail-
way at Market Raisen, a d rect and uninterrupted chain of commu-
nication will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and the town and port of Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated,
viz.:— by the line win
Starting from Great Grimsby appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic thence to the metropolis, and also the southern
and western districts of the country, and, in addit on, it will secure
the important and increasing local traffic between that town and
Market Raisen and Lincoln.
From Gainsborough, the termini of several ralways from the
north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its
county town.
The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Raisen, and proceed thereon to
Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over this line.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ;
