Mr. Bungs put a witness forward to produce the pub-
lic notices with respect to the Tunbridge and Tunbridge
Wells branch. The only newspaper in which the notices
had appeared was a Kent newspaper.
Mr. HeywAan objected to this, on the ground that,
as a. portion of the l3ill applied to works to be done in
the counties of Kent, Sussex, and Surrey, the notices
should have been inserted in newspapers in the three
counties.

Mr. BURKE said the newspaper applied to a branch
which was confined to the county of Kent.

Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and
The Committee decided that the standing orders had
not been complied with, as notices should have been in-
serted in the newspapers of Surrey and Sussex.
Mr. BURKE then prayed for an adjournment, in order
that the promoters might consider what steps they
should take. _ _ _

__________
This was granted, and the Committee adjourned for a
week.
