RYE AND TENTERDEN RAILWAY BILL.
Mr. Lascelles reported from the Select Committee on Group
the promoters
A of railways, to whom several petitions against the Bills
comprised in the said group, together with the report of the
Board of Trade thereon, were referred, that in the case of the
Rye and Tenterden Railway Bill they had heard counsel in
support of several of the said petitions, and bad also heard
counsel in favour of the Bill, and that they had examined
the allegations contained in the preamble of the Bill, but the

LONDON AND CROYDON (MAIDSTONE, ASHFORD,
AND TONBRIDGE) RAILWAY BILL; AND
SOUTH-EASTERN (MAIDSTONE TO ROCHESTER)
RAILWAY BILL.
Mr. Lascelles reported from the Select Committee on Group
A of railways, to whom several petitions against the Bills
comprised in the said group, together with the reports if the
Board of Trade thereon, were referred, that in the case of the
London and Croydon (Maidstone, Ashford, and Tonbridge)
apr erriivoidng of
atthe any session,r
result,
Bill, the Committee had determined they would not
est which,
t e
proceed with the Bill, inasmuch as, besides that the late
iwholeuldprporpe,c,sleldide is thaenpaotsmsiobsilri,thri
possibility of
line • and , the Committee are of opinion it would be advisable
to postpone the
consideration of the Bill till the next session,
when experience will have proved whether the atmospheric
principle of propulsion is capable of being advantageously
applied.
That in the case of the South-Eastern (Maidstone to
Rochester) Railway Bill the Committee had also determined
not to proceed with the Bill, as forming an important part of
the North Kent scheme of railway communication, the con-
sideration of which it is advisable to postpone till next session.
With regard to both these BB:3, with which the parties
were ready to proceed, but which the Committee, for the
reasons stated, declined to entertain, the Committee recom-
mend that they should be placed in a favourable position next
session, in consideration of the expense which the parties
have incurred in advancing the Bills to their present stages
without having had an opportunity of being heard.
