JUNCTION RAILWAY.

Mr. Pritt appeared as the agent for this liill.
Mr. LANG took an objection to the notices which had been given
to the effect that part of the original intention for which the
notices had been given had been abandoned, and therefore the
whole notices were vitiated,

Group L.
GUILDFORD, CHICHESTER, AND PORTSMOUTH
RAILWAY.

The inquiry into the merits of this railway was resumed this
morning before the Committee; Mr. B. Denison, Chairman.
Mr. Chitty, a miller of Guildford, was called to show the ad-
vantage to the country around that town which would arise from
the construction of the railway. He ground about 300 qrs. a week,
chiefly of the Sussex white wheat, though he did use a little foreign
wheat. The only public means of conveyance at present was
by a canal from Godalming to Guildford, which was both slow
and inconvenient. The price of carrying was now Is. 10d. a
quarter or Bs. Id. per ton. This would probably be reduced on
the formation of the railway, but if it were not the great saving of
time would be very advantageous.
Mr. Lintot, a cattle salesman at Wonersh, stated that a great
number of sheep, lambs, and other live, stock were sent to Go-
dalming and on to London. The cost was about Is. 6d. a head for
lambs, and 2s. for sheep; but, in addition to this, the sheep lost
about 31bs. in weight, and the lambs 41bs.

Mr. Shotter, of Woolbidding, confirmed the whole of the evi-
derce of the previous witness.
Mr. Elliott, a maltster of Petworth, stated that that town and
neighbourhood suffered great inconvenience froirfthe want of some
means of conveyance from the south. The cost of carriage now from
Chichester to Guildford was as much as 13s. a ton, and the
mode of transit was not only expensive, but very slow and incon-
venient. One great advantage derived from the railway
would be the speedy and cheap carriage of lime from a
place called Cocking-bill and from about Labbent. That lime
was ready for use, while at present the only line they got was from
Denton Hill. The cost cf that lime was from 803 to 90s. a kiln,
a kiln being about fourteen tons; while that from Labbent would
cost little more than 608. a kiln. All the inhabitants around Pet-
worth were, he might say, in favour of this line of railway.
Mr. Brown, a farmer in the parish of Petworth—He had been in
the habit of attending the markets to the west of Petworth, it
being the custom of the (farmers, not only in Petworth, but
all the neighbouring parishes, to buy the ewes in lamb. A
great nuraber of sheep and lambs were sent to Smith-
field—upwards of 4,000 lambs in a year. The cost was as
stated by the previous witnesses. He was assured that the journey
now occupied thirty-four hours, and was injurious to the
Stock. The framers in hie neighbourhood were in the lieb4. of

sending fatted sheep to Chichester, and all the toWne
within a similar distance. The whole number of sheep
sent away from that neighbourhood was about 14,000, and the
formation of a railway would be a great advantage in keeping the
stock in condition and opening larger markets: The
cost of driving sheep to Chichester was five shillings
a score, the cost of sending a bullock to eld
Smithfi
was 45., and the time required for the beast to travel was four
days. All these things tended to threw Petworth and the places
about it behind those places which had railways near them.

Indeed, we feel some doubt whether Hillyer ever brawled better'
but the ground, though otherwise in beautiful order,
too heavy for Lillywhite, and therefore the greatest number °
runs was made of him. He nevertheless took the most wick&
