The object of this railway is to provide for the above-named
densely populated and rapidly improving manufacturing towns and
villages, a diriet and convenient outlet towards York, Selby, Hull,
Goole, Grimsby, and the cast.
In coniunctlon with the West Riding Union, Liverpool and Leeds,
and other projected railways passing through or near to Halifax, the
undertaking now proposed will form one of the most direct railway
communications, its well between the ports of Liverpool and Jinn, as
between the great manufacturing districts of the west, and the agri-
cultural districts of the East.
The population residing upon and along the proposed line between
Halintx and Methley exceeds 200,000 persons, who are chiefly engaged
in manufacturing and mining industry—to such a community a rail-
way passing immediately through it, giving a nearer and inure con-
venient access to the Irish Channel and the Getman Ocean anti. the
intermediate places, is an object of Importance, and promises, when
accomplished, to con,"er great advantages on the inhabitants, and to
secure to the shareholders an ample return for the capital invested.
By this project the valuable coal fields of W.ke, Batley, SoOthill,
East and West Ardsley, Lolthouso, and [Stanley (containing
the well known " Bowling and Low Moor,"
and Stanley Main," beds which re now wrought a or,
