hood of Leeds—destroy the views and quite inclose the abbey,
almost in a triangular form, the railway passing within 500 yards
of it. They agreed in saying that thirty acres of property there
would sell for 15,0001., for building purposes, but which, if the
railway passed through, would be only fit for cultivation. 20,000/.
would not compensate for the injuries which the line would inflict.
After some consultation it was proposed that the Leeds and
Thirsk line should keep fifty yards further than had been proposed
from the abbey.
Mr. Sergeant 13ELLAsts said the proposal was well worthy of
consideration, and they would take until to-morrow to consider it.
Some evidence was gone into to show that the Leeds and Thirsk
line would, by the cuttings, tunnels, &c., would injure the supply of
water to the villages near the town of Leeds.

The promoters of the line here said they would engage to make
good the same supply of water which they would remove by the tun.
nels, &c.

This was discussed at much length, and it was finally understood
that a clause would be introduced into the Bill, securing to the
villages in question a proper supply of water.
There being no further opposition to the Leeds and Thirsk line,
The CHAIRkti.M wished to know whether the Ripon and Harro-
gate line was withdrawn ?

There was nobody in the room to answer this question.
Mr. EDDISON, the solicitor for the Bill, said the capital was
886,0001. ; the deposit paid in 43,4051.

The Committeee then adjourned to Thursday morning, it being
understood that if the Ripon and riarrog.de line were persevered
in, Lord de Grey, through counsel and witnesses, would have an
opportunity of opposing it.
