RESOLUTION OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF

LORDS.

The Committee have Resolved—

That " the making of a Railway, to connect the towns of P:y-
mouth and Falmouth, with a Branch to the town of Bodmin, would
be of great public advautage, by opening an additional, certain, and
expeditious means of communication between the said places, and
also by facilitating the communication between more distant towns
and places ;" but the Committee are also of opinion that it would
not be advisable to adopt definitively the plan of railway communi-
cation which is intended to be carried out by the Bill, without a ftw-
ther and most accurate survey of the whole line of country traversed
between Plymouth and Falmouth, with a view of obtaining gra-
dients and curves more favourable, and avoiding the passage of the
Hamoaze and of the Penryn river, below Penryn, if these last ob-
jects can be effected without anygreat countervailing cost and disad-
vantage.

The Committee are therefore of opinion that the Bill should not be
now tbrther proceeded with.
