other. He had received a letter from a clergyman who com-
plained that a proposed line would be sure to darken his study
and library; but the writer added that he was but the mere
incumbent, his patron was also a patron of railroads, and there-
fore he (the incumbent) had nothing to do but sit down
and quietly submit for the remainder of his life. Now, any-
thing more grievous than this he had never heard. The clause
in the Bill to which he principally objected, and which he
singled out as the one which appeared to him to systematise in-
justice in the most marked manner, wes that clause in the
Railway Consolidation Bill in the 32t1 section of the Bill. This
was the clause—" That it shall be lawful for the company, at
any time before the period limited for the completion of the
railway, to enter whenever they pleased, without making any
previous payment, or tender, or deposit on any land, within the
prescribed limits, or if there were no prescribed limits, on any
land not being more than 200 yards distant from the centre of
the railway, and not being a garden, orchard, avenue, or walk ;
and that it should not come nearer to any mansion than the
prescribed distance, and if there was no prescribed distance
then not nearer than 500 yards therefrom, and the com-
pany might keep the said land as long as it might be
necessary for the completion or repairing of the
railway, or any accomodation works connected there-
with, as might be required for any of the following pur.
poses :—For the purpose of taking earth or soil by side cut-
tings ; for the purpose of depositing soil therefrom ; for the
purpose of obtaining materials therefrom for the construction
or repair of the railway, or such accommodation works as
aforesaid, or of roads to and from, or by the side of the rail-
way ; and it shall be lawful to make deposits for the manufac-
ture of brick works, and also to dig or take from any such
land clay, or stone, or sand, for the purposes of such works,
or for the purpose of erecting any workshops or buildings of a
temporary nature." Such was the clause—a clause which
ought not, he thought, to be very agreeable to their Lord-
ships. They could take two hundred yards on each side of
the railway, making in the whole four hundred yards, or a
quarter of a mile, all over the country through which
the railway run. Now, in the case of a farm in Essex, con-
sisting of two hundred acres, it was proposed that seven rail.
ways should pass over it, and the consequence was, that nearly
the whole of the farm was absorbed. And all this arose from
their extraordinary love of rail say legislation. True, compen-
sation was provided by the Bill for the taking of land ; but the
House must remember that only the damage actually done
was to be paid for, and nothing more. There was but another
remark, and that was the last he intended to make before he
moved his amendment of that 32d clause. If these powers
were necessary, at least the parties who concocted the measure
ought to know what way they meant to go ; they ought at
least to have made up their minds as to where their line ought
to run; for he thought that if they did desire to change their
minds and to go through another close than the one which
they had marked down on the plan—but he wouid not give
them a power of deviating to the extent of 100 yards to the
right side or the left—and if, through any unforeseen contin-
gency, they were obliged :to deviate, then, at least, do so
with the consent of the owners. The owners were quite
enough at the mercy of the companies already. They now
came to the owners after the passing of the Bill, for before they
never thought of making any proffer at all ; but after the passing
of the Act, they came to the owners, and then gave whatever
they pleased. The object of his clause was to diminish the
power of deviation to twenty yards, and that, with the permis-
sion of the owners. He had felt it his duty to make these few
remarks, because he had reason to believe that the instance he
adduced the other evening was not without its use. He had
been told that the circumstance which he had stated of the ap-
plication of a devisee in trust to the Court of Chancery had
stopped an extensive railway. He thought, therefore, that
these powers were too extensive to be permitted without some
check. He had received the thanks of many clergy, for what
they were pleased to call the moral tendency of his exertions
in preventing this species of gambling, which led to others of a
worse description. For his part, he could say Lterari animunt.
He had deemed it his duty to take the part which he had
taken ; and he hoped he had given no offence to any individual,
but if so, he had done his duty sincerely and conscientiously.
The Earl of DALHOUSIE had explained to the House the
nature and objects of the Bills now on the table when he moved
the second reading, and he would not now enter into any dis-
cussion upon the principal one. But he would ask their Lord-
ships how mach of the time which his Noble and Learned
Friend had occupied was devoted to the business before them.
His Noble and Learned Friend devoted three quarters of an
hour to censure the Railway Board, and a quarter of an hour
to a lecture upon the evils of railway speculation. Really, he
(Earl Dalhousie) never saw a smaller pennyworth of bread to
so huge a quantity of sack.—( A laugh.) He would only say
that, of all his Noble and Learned Friend had stated, there was
only one thing to which he (Lord Dalhou-ie) could give the
least assent—and that was, that there are but twenty-four
hours in the day.—( A laugh.) His Noble and Learned
Friend said that it was a fact which could not be denied, that
the Railway Board heard only one side. Now, to that asser-
tion he must give a most unqualified and unhesitating denial.
His Noble and Learned Friend said that the Board received
deputations from railway directors, and no others were ad-
tted. To that he (Lord Dalhousie) gave a most distinct
and positive denial. The Board sought interviews with no
one. When they were ready to go into the inquiry, they
stated as much in a public advertisement, and they received all
persons who had any ?labile matters to submit to the Board ;
but by the constitution of the Railway Board, they were pre-
cluded "rom going into the consideration of any private matters.
At the same time, they never concealed from those
to whom they granted interviews, that it would be
on written statements only, to which the Beard could give its
deliberate consideration, that any decision could be come
to. And the decision to which the Board had come to on
every case was founded on the fullest and most impartial con-
siderations. As to the speculations to which his Noble and
Learned Friend said the Railway Board gave rise, he (Lord
Dalhousie) did not deny that there were speculations—but he
did deny that since the constitution of the Board, speculations
had been carried to a greater extent. In former years the
speculation was of greater extent, and of a more reckless
kind. He could cite many cases, but their Lordships had
not forgotten that of the Brighton Railway in which fortunes
were made and lost in one day. The price of shares fluctuated
from day to day, and hour to hour, as the favour of the Com-
mittee seemed to fluctuate. His Noble and Learned Friend
said that the institution of the Board was calculated to promote
speculation.
Lord BROUGHAM had not said the institution ; he said
the constitution.
Lord DALHOUSIE said—Allow him to say what he
meant. He did not attempt to state or explain what his Hon.
and Learned Friend said or ineant.—( A laugh.) His Noble
and Learned Friend had formerly alleged, and had now repeated
that partial revelations had taken place. Now, when those
allegations were made, he (Lord Dalhousie) required to be
furnished with specific allegations. In the three cases which
were before alleged—that of the South-eastern Railway, with
which it was said a person in the employment of the Board of
Trade was connected—to that charge, his Noble and Learned
Friend admitted a complete answer was given. The next was—
that some shadowy individual obtained information somewhere
and used it somehow, on some day, in some place, in specula-
tion in some railway, by which he made forty thousand
pounds. How was that charge to he met?—(Hear, hear.)
It was also charged, that in consequence of improper informa-
tion, upon the day when the Board came to a decision, the
shares of one or two rival companies rose, and those of the
other went down. The fact was, that the rise in the price was
occasioned by the union of the successful company with one al-
ready established.—( Hear, hear.) He (Lord Dalhousie) put
it to their Lordships to postpone their judgment on the unfit-
ness and inefficiency of the Railway Board until the end of the
section, when they would have all the results before them. In
conclusion, he must remind their Lordships, that if they struck
this clause out of the Bill, a similar one would have to be in-
troduced into the special Act.
Lord ASHBURTON admitted that in some instances great
disappointment had resulted from the proceedings of the Board
of Trade ; but, in his opinion, it was utterly impossible for Go-
vernment-to take steps to avoid this. It was quite impossible to
prevent railway speculations, but at the same time he was far
from agreeing that improvements could not be introduced into
the constitution of the Railway Department of the Board of
Trade. But he objected to the provisions of this Bill being
confined to railways which were to be hereafter made. Some
of them ought decidedly to apply retrospectively to railways
already in existence. There was, for instance, the ninth
clause, which provided that no partiality should be shown by a
railway company either in the transit of goods or of passen-
gers. No individuals, or body of individuals, were to have
partiality shown to them by the railway company, but all
were treated alike ; and certainly this clause was very essential
for the ends of justice, and ho could see no reason why the
same provision should not be applied to railways already in
existence. There was another clause which ought to

that he heard of a gentleman who got into a railway carriage
