GROUP SS.

The Select Committee on this group re-assembled at the usual
hour this morning, and proeceded with the engineering evidence
in the case for the promoters of the

COVENTIZY, It EDWORTE, AND NUNEATON

RAILWAY.

The examination of Mr. Addison, the engineer to the Company,
was resumed by Mr. MaitatnAr. The principal details of his
evidence were given yesterday. His testimony this morning was
of a general nt ture, and only went to show the proposed line was
the best that could possibly be marked out.

The witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. DkNIEL,
with a view of showing that the progress of the line would inter-
fere with a place ca led Gosford.green, where the poorer
inhabitants of Coventry resort for exercise and recrea-
tion. The witness admitted that the line would pass
through the green on an embankment of from D to 10 feet in
height, but there wit a more important resort of the poor of
Coventry, called Friar's-green, which would not be interfered with,
although it was near to the station of the proposed railway.
The witness admitted that there was a succession of three curves
on the line within a mile and a half of the station, but as they were
on a branch, and not a main line, they were in no wise objection.
able. The line passed near to, but not through, a place called
Stoak.green and Stoak-heath. He was not aware whether
the inhabitants of Coventry had a right of common on these
places, nor was he aware that cattle strayed uninterruptedly from
the Heath to the Green. the line would certainly pass through
Bsrrow's.green but the deviation line would not in the least
affect Stoak.green. He had heard, but was not aware of
his own knowledge, that there was a right of pasturage
on these greens, but in whom the right was ♦ested he did not
know. He proposed to protect Barrow's-green by a gate and a
man, and there would, consequently, be no obstruction to the pro-
gress of the cattle from the Green to the Heath. The deviation
line commenced at the junction on the Birmingham line, and ex-
tended to a place called Stoak, a distance of about a mile and a
quarter. This deviation had been marked out to meet the views
of the Corporation of Coventry, who objected to the original line.
On one part of the line in the neighbourhood the land had sunk
14 feet, but he was not aware that it was still sinking. Every
precaution, however, would be taken against contingencies of this
nature.

The witness was cross-examined by Mr. SPARICUSOII, on behalf
of the London and Birmingham Company, with a view of showing
that the line originated with himself, and not with any persons re-
sident in the district through which the line will pass. He said
he had never constructed a railway under his own sole and imme-
diate superintendence, but had frequently and repeatedly acted as
a sub engineer. He admitted being the engineer to three new
schemes coming before Parliament next session.
The cross-examination had not terminated when the Committee
adjourned.

GROUP W.
BRAYTON AND GOOLE RAILWAY.
the Committee on this line Tesgsernbled to.day at twelve o'clock

Present—Mr. Pakiogton (in the chair), Lord Seymour, Mr. Max-
well, Mr. llouverie, and Mr. Whitmore.

The examination of Mr. Arthur Maude was then resumed—
Knew most of the persons at Goole who signed a petition in favour
of the proposed line. They were all respectable persons. Many
of them signed the petition after they knew that Mr. Hudson had
leased the Hull and Selby line.

The CHAIRMAN said that he would like to ascertain, previous to
the srtsss-examination of this witness, what course tha promoters
of the line intended to adopt with regard to the additional evidence
they would bring forward. He did not wish to be understood as
prescribing or dictating to the Learned Counsel the course proper
for them to adopt, but if he might be permitted to say so at
this stage of the proceedings, he considered that the direct
examination of the la,t witness served the competing line (the Pon-
tefract and Goole line) as much as the proposed one (the Brayton
and Goole).

Mr. PICKIIRING begged to know why the Chairman entertained
that opinion'

The CILAIRMAN said, that from the evidence given yesterday by
the witness, it appeared that the principal waffle he referred to
was sugar—that he sent annually 1,200 tons to Yorkshire, Leeds
and Bradford. Of that quantity he stated that only 100 tons went
to Leeds, and 150 tons to Bradford—the rest went to Halifax and
Huddersfield. Now the Pontefract and Goole line was, in his opi.
Mon, as much served as the proposed line, for the difference be-
tween the two as to gradients and distance, according to the evi-
dence they had yet heard, was, in all these points, as favour.
able a line for the conveyance of the traffic referred to.
Mr. KNOWLES said that he was prepared to prove that the
Brayton and Goole line was in every respect superior, more
convenient, and would afford greater accommodation to the in-.
habitants of Goole. It would also open up the large collieries, a c
Mr. George Hammond, a flax-spinner, at Leeds, was then ex.
mined. He imported flax largely from the ports of the Baltic,
Belgium, and France. All his flax came to Hull. The cost
from Hull to Leeds was Os. Bd. per ton. If the proposed line were
laid down, and the same rates charged for the conveyance of flax as
on other lines, the saving in carriage would be 2s. 6d. per ton
from Goole.

By Mr. WlLKors Was a shareholder in the Midland Counties.
Mr. Rand was a worsted spinner End manufacturer at Bradford.
Employed 1,600 bands in his business. Imported 4,000 bales of
wool from Germany and other places. The cost of the carriage of
the colonial wool bought in the London snorkel, by canal to Leeds,was
Is. 6d. per cwt., or 30s. a ton. This witness went on to say how much
more convenient it would be for him, as well as cheaper, if the
proposed line were laid down, by enabling him to bring his colonial
wool to Goole instead of Hull.

Mr. Preliar, exporter of yarns—Lived at Bradford. Exported
800 tons annually at Hull. He gave similar evidence as the last
witness with respect to the port of Goole.
Cross-examined by Mr. WrLatxs —The reason why he thought
the Brayton and Goole line was preferable to the Wakefield and
Goole line, was the better gradients which it afforded. Knee that
by the sections. The sections he saw were Mr. Birkenshaw's.
Mr. Holt, examined by Mr. KNOWLKS— Was a wool merchant
at Leeds for twenty-five years. Purchased large quantities of wool
pearly from Germany. Imported 3,000 to 4,000 bags. It was
brought partly by water, partly by rail, but latterly he had had it all
brought by the rail. There was a large traffic to Leeds from Goole.
His wool came to him by Hull He confirmed the evidence of the
two last witnesses with regard to the superiority of the port of
Goole to that of Hull in respect to the accommodation it would
afford. Thought the proposed line would be a much better line
than the Wakefield and Goole line.

Mr. Passevant was a manager of a house at Leeds, largely en.
gaged in the exportation of linen and worsted yarn, which was
all shipped at Hull. The evidence of this witness was nearly a
repetition of what had been already deposed to in reference to the
superiority of the port of Goole to Hull, and to the advantages
which the proposed line would confer in cheapness and accommo.
dation, &c.

Mr. John Strickland, corn-factor near Snaith, had bought corn
and sold it at Leeds in preference to Wakefield. The facility of
going to Wakefield was as great as to Leeds. The reason he pre-
ferred Leeds was that he got cash in Leeds, and was obliged, if he
sold his corn at Wakefield, to take a three-menths' bill.
Cro,s.examintol by Mr. WILKINS—Had signed a petition in
favour of the Wakefield and Goole line, but did so under the im-
pression that the Brayton and Goole line was thrown out by the
Committee on Standing Orders.
By Mr. Buss—The average quantity of corn which he pur.
chased weekly was 100 quarters. (A petition was here handed to
witness against the proposed line.) The people whose signatures
were attached to that petition were respectable, but he should like
to know whether those who signed it knew what it was they were
signing? In his part of the country they never read any petition
they signed. He never in his life read any Parliamentary petition
he signed.-- (A laugh.)
Mr. Douglas, lived at Drax. Was a cattle and hay dealer, and
butcher; occasionally took his cattle to Leeds and Wakefield.
Sent a proportion of ten to one of them to Leeds.
The CHAIRMAN thought it unnecssary to pursue the line of exa
mindtion with regard to the advantages which the proposed line
would confer on those who lived in the immediate neighbourhood
of the dsstrict though which it liaised. He thought that was self-
evident, and that it might be almost assumed except, of course, dis.
sentient landowners.

Mr. KNOWL ES then said he would ask the witness no further
questions.

Mr. Douglas cross-examined by Mr. Buss—Sent 500 beasts
yearly to Leeds, and the produce of two acres of potatoes.
Mr. Samuel Wainsdn lived at Harrogate, and had also lived at
Knaresborou,,h. There were a great many flax mills in that neigh-
bourhood. If the proposed line were made it would confer immense
advantages on the valley of the 2siidd. The Wakefield and Goole
line would be of no use to them—it went in another direction.
Knew the town of Wetherby, and all the country in that neigh-
bourhood. This line would benefit all that district.

By the CHAIRMAN—The quantity of flax imported into the dis.
trict was from 3,000 to 4,000 tons annually.
Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—AII the flax did not come by
Hull ; some came by S:ockport and Liverpool.
Mr. Joseph Jackson, omnibus driver from G oele to the Howden
station, was five times to and fro every day between those places;
another omnibus went four times. Upon an average he carried
240 passengers a week to and fro for the last twelve months. The
principal part of the passengers he took to the Howden station went
to the west trains.

Thomas Dunhill was a coachman and c ,ach proprietor at Wake-
field. Knew the traffic between Wakefield and Gook and Wakefield
and Hull t•p to 1.838. His coach did not pay. There was not
traffic sufficient to support a conveyance unless the individual who
was proprietor of it 4 also acted as coachman. There was only
one conveyance at present on the market day, which went to
Pontefract.

Cross-examined by Mr. Wtuitss—There was no coach between
Leeds and Goole at the time he referred to.

Mr. Joseph Bottomley, lived near Pontefract, and was a
lime burner, coal carrier, and farmer. Burnt his lime at Hudders-
field. He did not consider that the statement made by the witnesses
who had deposed to benefits which the competing Wakefield and
Goole line would confer on the lime trade of Knottingley and
neighbourhood were correct. So far as he was concerned he
would not use it, nor did he consider it would be generally ad-
vantageous to the inte, ests of the community of that district. He
thought the Wakefield and Goole line was a preposterous one.
Cross-examined by Mr. NVILKINS—Charged from 14s to 16s. per
ton at Huddersfield for his lime. It was sold at Knotitng!ey at
the pit at fis. to 7s. per ton. Did net know the Manchester and
Leeds line delivered this lime at Brigghouse (via Huddersfield) for
Cs. 6d. per ton.
Mr. Sherriff was called to prove that the rates charged on:the
Hull and Selby line were less than those charged by the Manchester
and Leeds line.

Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—The Leeds and Selby and
Hull and Selby carried at these reduc xl rates, notwithstanding the
badness of the gradients on those Ems.
The cross-examination of this witness was interrupted by the
announcement of the Speaker being at prayers.
The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to.morrow.

GROUP V.

THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, Arm

CHESTZRPORD RAILWAY.

The Committee, consisting of the O'Conor DOH, Chairman, Sir
John Rae Reid, Sir D. Norreys, Mr. Hope Johnstone, and Mr.
Davies, met to day at half-past eleven, when
Mr. Hawkshaw, C.E., was re-called and examined with re.
gard to the proposed line. He corroborated the evidence of Mr.
Vignolles and of Mr. Gibbs, given on a previous day,
with respect to the advantages •f the line, and the few engineering
difficulties to be met with. He was in the habit of working much
more severe gradients than those on this line.

James Thomson—Was an assistant in Sir John M`Neill's office,
and was well acquainted with the working of the mineral lines in
the neighbourhood of Glasgow. There were many heavier
gradients there than on this line. He might instance one, the
Ballochney line, where heavy coal-trains were worked on an incline
of 1 in 70. He saw not the least difficulty in working this line.
Mr. Itutrick, civil engineer, gave exactly similar evidence.
Wiliam Fairbank—Had had considerable experience in the
making of estimates on railway lines, and he 11,,d done so in this case.
He had assisted Mr. Vignolles, and returned the whole expense of
the line at 400,0001.
Mr. J. Nowell had been a contracter for many years in works
of this nature, and had, therefore, great experience in those mat-
ters. He had carefully examined the estimates furnished in this
case, and was convinces that they were exceedingly correct. fie
should be very happy to contract for the tunnel at 42/. 10s.
per yard, as he was convinced that the stratum
through which It passed was most favourable for en-
gineering purposes. He should be equally ready to under-
take any of the other works at the estimates for which they were
taken. He spoke from experience acquired in such extensive
works as the Bristol and Gloucester, and other great lines.
The witness was under examinaticn when the Speaker was
announced at prayers, and the Committee adjournel

GROUP X.
LONDON AND YORIE LX E.

The Committee havingassembled in the Committee.room, No, 8,
at the usual hour,
Mr. Ilawkshaw, engineer, was called and examined—ls the engi
neer of the Manchester and Leeds, and several other lines. That
part of the London and York line between Bawtry and Wakefield
and Bawtry and York was laid out under his superintendence.
Considers the prices for the work very high, and higher than any
he has heard this session. The line presented no
peculiar difficulty. Did not think it possible that the
iron for the London and York line could cost the price put
down for it, namely, 12/. 10s. Has bought iron himself recently at
91. and 101. per ton. delivered. Iron was an article that fluctuated
very much in price ; but the present rate was as high as he had
known it for many years.

known it for many years. This witness underwent a long exa-
mination upon the abstract principle, as to the amount of extra
power required by trains ascending inclines of various gradients,
from 1 in 200 Lpwards; he also deposed that the station proposed
to be made at York was to cross the York and North Midland
station at a level, and it was the only eligible mode that could be
adopted, taking all circumstances into consideration. He was
cross-examined by the counsel for the different competing lines
for the purpose of ascertaining the mode by which passengers were
to be accommodated with conveyances along the different
branches from the main line, assuming that a certain number only
of trains started from London—in answer to which, the witness
proposed to avoid the difficulty by increasing the number of trains.
He was next asked in reference to the carriage of heavy goods ;
assuming that the carriage of goods conveyances by the London and
Birmingham line cost 3,400/. per mile, and did not carry coals, the
Counsel wished to know from the witness whether his opinion
was that 3,000/. per mile on the London and York line would
be sufficient to cover the expense of carriage conveyance, taking
into account that 500,000 tons of coals per annum were to be
conveyed by this line, as well as a vast qnantity of
manure, stone, lime, &c., and the Company finding
their own carriages. The witness said at first lie thought 3,000/. a
mile a fair sum ; but he subsequently said he could not tell without
going into a long calculation, and the Counsel did not press the
question.
Mr. J. K. Brunel, engineer—Had examined the estimates for all
the works on the London and York line, and considered a 3 the
prices very liberal. Knew of no difficulty or danger in crossing
the York and North Midland station at York.
To Mr. Tatior —Has found London clay very troublesome.
After a few unimportant questions from the other counsel,
The Committee adjourned at half.past four.
