THE GREAT WESTERN (DUBLIN AND

GALWAY).
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. COCKBURN arrived shortly afterwards, and after a short con-
sultation with Mr. James and the other counsel on the same side,
proceeded to address the Committee. He said that he had
an objection to make which he thought would be fatal to
the Bill. He referred to the difference between the real
levels and the sections which had been deposited in the
Private Bill-office. It had been proved in evidence that
there was an error in some places of 38 feet, and in other
places of twenty feet, which errors extended for several miles
along the line. In the Bth Victoria, chap. 20 sect. 11, it would
be found, that the maximum variation allowed between the real
levels and the plans and sections deposited was only five feet,
and two feet in any town or place near which buildings
were erected, unless the consent of the proprietor be first obtained.
It was obvious that some such restriction should be imposed on the
landowners, who would be subjected to have their soil cut up and
carved to any extent that might seem right to parties who were
engaged in the construction of railways. In the case of
the Cambrridge and Lincoln line, the Bill was thrown
out for a variation of 10 feet. In the case of the South
Wales line, which was recently thrown out, the objection
which was fatal to it was, that a part of the line was laid down
contingent on obtaining the consent of the landholders, who were not
then before the Committee. Now, in this case, if they passed
the proposed line, they would be flying in the face of that decision,
and they would pass the Bill contingent on the consent of the land-
holders, for they had never been consulted as to the additional
cuttings which would be required. On those grounds, as also be-
cause it would be certain to be thrown out before the
Committee of the Lords, they should at once stop all further
proceedings. The Learned Counsel concluded an able address, by
calling on the Committee not to lend the sanction of the House
of Commons to a measure which must end in nullity.
Mr. MURPHY thought the case which had been adopted by the
Learned Counsel was the most extraordinary ever pursued. In the
whole course of bis address, he had gone upon the assumption that

the points hhe referred had been proved in (yr idence, He
did notwait
evidence which he '(Mr. Murphy)
to Lb thei rebutting
would bring forward, and which would completely upset the evi-
dence on which he relied.

Some discussion then took place RS to WhetY.er Mr. Cockburn
shoal, be allowed to address the Committee attain on the general
merits of the question, after the rebutting evidrnce was gone Into.
The room was then cleared to enable the Committee to decide on
the'point.

On our re-admission, the CHAIRMAN announced that the op-
posing counsel should have the liberty of addressing the Committee
on the general merits after the rebutting evidence was beard, and
that Mr. Murphy should have the privilege of replying to that
speech if he thought proper.

TII6 CHAIRMAN then told Mr. Murphy to proceed with the re-
butting case.

Mr. MURPHY said that, in consequence of the strange, and, as it
appeared to him, irregular course which the proceedings had taken,
he was not then prepared to bring forward his engineering evi-
dence to rebut the case of opposing counsel, but if the Committee
would allow him till Monday he should have all his witnesses in
attendance.

The Committee acceded to the request, and adjourned till twelve
o'clock on Monday.
