kr. Sergtant WRANGHAM contended that the notices tendered
Yesterday to Mr. Webster were not sufficiently specific to justify the
oPposition which had been made to the London and York inc.l
That at the Greenwood.lane, Ross, and at Robery Common, might
serve the purpose of the promoters, but the ethers were far too
'lgoe to justify the objections legally, and he was quite satisfied
that they could not be sustained.
Mr. AUSTIN; on behalf of the Eastern Counties Company,
contended that there was a defect in the evidence which
could not now be obviated. The precedent established in
the Portsmouth group held its this case. The report of the Board
of Trade Was to be taken into account, and though that decision
was not to be binding, yet, notwithstanding that decision, the
cPCommittee had determined to give the accesses to the town of
ortsmouth. Now, the parties for whom he appeared, had
certain portions of the Inc to which they were especially
!Milled, and he contended that the line between Biggleswade and
14°. ndon vies certainlyopen obj, and on that principle he should assert his right to beto heard inection favour of the Northern and
