difference between the competing lines—they called ups
the promoters of the Central Cornish hoe, but they
did not appear. Why did they not appear? Why did not the
promoters, 110 repeated, come forward ? He had seen a defence
in print, which certainly was the worst defence he had ever
met with. They said they did not come fortse.rdbecause of the
extreme scarcity of money. Upon this ground they alleged they
could not go on with the undertaking. If they could not
find capital in May, 1845, when were they to find it ?
( Hear, hear.) The fact was, the Committee went much
further into the merits of the proposed lines than
was their duty. And as regarded the engineering evidence,
the great mass of it went to say that the line selected was the
best practical line. If the House thought this a case for their
interference, they might have the evidence read over ; but he
trusted they would not accede to the motion of the Gallant
Officer.
Lord G. SOMERSET said he thought the decision of the
Committee was every way entitled to deference. He thought
that by acceding to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman the
House would form a very dangerous precedent, and would there-
fore oppose it.
Mr. PENDA \TES thought, that notwithstanding
the engineering difficulties, a proper line of railway
might be carried through Cornwall. Ile believed there
would be sufF.eient traffic to support a railway. The
point of securing an advantageous communication between
London and Exeter in time of war would he highly important.
He felt perfectly satisfied that the line, as de,eribed in the
plan, never could be properly carried out. Both the Admiralty
and the Board of Ordnance were opposed to the line, and the
authority of tiLe.se bodies constituted a strong objection. Let
them seek their own line if they please, but at the same
time let other parties have the opportunity of proving the ad-
vantages of another line. He felt persuaded that if the Com-
mittee had had a sufficient Opportunity of hearing the evi-
dence on the line which had been shut out, they would have
conic to a different decision on the subject.
Sir CHARLES LEMON observed that it had been stated
that a line might be projected which would reduce the distance
between London and Exeter to 60 miles less than the proposed
line. His Hon. Friend came forward as a septuagenarian, and
said that the distance might be diminished by seventy
miles. The line at present before the House was supported
by all the landowners in its vicinity, every one of whom were
shareholders in it, and further his Hon. Friend was the first
person who moved the adoption of the line which he now op-
posed.
Mr. PENDARVES explained, and admitted he had ori-
ginally supported the line, but had subsequently seen fit to alter
his opinion.
Mr. R A SFILEIGH said that, as one of the ropresentatives
of the other division of the county (Cornwall), he would say it
was the unanimous opinion of the people whom he represented,
that the railway before the House would be conducive to
the interests of the country at large. He would not enter
into details on the subject, although, if it were wished, he
would go into a description of the entire line. It passed
through one of the finest and most fertile districts in the
county, and it was the general desire of all the influential per-
sons and landowners that the line shauld be adopted.
Mr. TURNER said that he had been originally a member
of the Provisional Committee upon the opposing line, but as
that scheme was not properly carried forward, it was suffered
to fall to the ground, although lie himself had subscribed
one-fourth of the expenses. He was undeistood to say he
would support the motion.
After a few words from Captain PLUM RIDGE,
Sir S. SPRY said he would withdraw the clause which he
had proposed.
The motion that the Bill be reported that day six months
was then put, and negatived without a division.
The report was then received, and the Bill was ordered to be
engrossed.
