CORNWALL RAILWAY.

The Committee proceeded with the petition from the
promoters of this railway.
The Committee proceeded with the evidence upon the
promoters' plans. Some discussion arose as to the situa-
tion of some powder mills. It was alleged in a petition,
presented by a Mr. Thomas, but upon which the Com-
mittee had decided that no one could appear, that cer-
tain buildings had been omitted. It appeared that a
small building about the size of a pig•sty had been
omitted.

Mr. BURKE contended that the promoters could not
answer this objection, inasmuch as they had seen no
allegation respecting it.
The CRAIRMAN said the duty of the Committee was to
ascertain whether the standing orders had been complied
with.

Standing orders not complied with in the above
respect.
