RAILWAY COMMITTEES

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

STANDING ORDERS.
The Standing Orders Committee of the House of Lords re.assem.
bled this day at one o'clock, Lord Shaftesbury in the chair.
The following unopposed cases were taken by their Lordships:—
The North British Railway, the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton
Railway, the Kendal and Windermere, the Southampton and Dor.
chester Railway, and the Yarmouth and Norwich Railway.
The Bills went through, and their Lordships adjourned till one

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP A.
SOUTH EASTERN LINE.

The Committee on meeting this morning at twelve o'clock, re-
sumed the consideration of the above line, when
Mr. MERREWETHER was about to put in as evidence, several
letters from the Board of Ordnance, but agreed to withdraw them
for the present.

Captain Charlwood, R.N., superintendent of traffic on this line,
was called and examined with regard to a rise in the charges
for the carriage of goods and parcels on this line, which he said had
originated in a mistake.

Mr. Ellis, a shareholder of the South-Eastern line, was called to
prove certain proceedings at a meeting called with reference to the
proposed line.

Mr. Bennet, also a shareholder in this company, was examined
with reference to the same subject.
(LEFT SITTING.)

GROUP FF.

The Committee met again this day, at twelve o'clock, in Room
No. 7, Lord Ashley, Chairman.
EDINBURGH ELND NORTHERN LINE.

The parties having assembled,

The CHAIRMAN said, that as Mr. Walker, the Government
engineer, had been alluded to in the course of the evidence adduced
by the opponents of the Bill, that gentleman could, at the option of
the parties, be examined, for the purpose of replying to that part of
the evidence which questioned the general construction of Granton
Pier.

Mr. CLARKE, for the opponents, had no objection to hear an ex.
planation from Mr. Walker.

Mr. WHITMAN would certainly object to Mr. Walker being
now examined by the promoters, as the opponents had closed their
case, and had no opportunity of replying to any new feature of the
case at issue. He would not, however, object to a simple expla.
nation, so far as Mr. Walker himself, as a professional man, was
concerned.

Mr. Walker was then called, and he having explained the plan
relating to the pier,

Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS commenced his reply to the whole case
for the promoters. The Learned Sergeant went through the evi-
dence seriatim pro and con, and after having explained the general
course of the line, and the great advantage it would confer upon
the districts which it would traverse, concluded a most argumenta-
tive and convincing address by calling upon the Committee to pass
the preamble of the Bill.

(LEFT BITTING.)

GROUP GG.
SCOTCH RAILWAYS. GLASGOW DIS-
TRICT.

The Committee met this morning to consider the case of the
opponents to the

GLASGOW JUNCTION RAILWAY.

The morning aas chiefly consumed by a mere technical objet.
tion, urged by Mr. Austin on the part of the opponents, and de.
fended by Mr. Sergeant Andrews on the part of the promoters, on
the point that the level was erroneously described in the sections
with reference to the datum line.

The Committee decided that the objection might be proved by
evidence, and

Mr. AUSTIN called Mr. Collie and Mr. Kyle, surveyors of
Glasgow, who stated that they had levelled the line, and at the
point of junction with the Glasgow and Ayr line found that the
section was in error, by 5 feet 5 Inches.
Mr. Vignolles, C. E., corroborated the evidence of the other
witnesses.
