lane.
LOCAL AGENT—William Hirst, Esq., Boroughbridge.

This railway is intended to commence at or near to the Alne sta-
tion on the Great North of England Railway, to proceed by way of
Aldborough, Boroughbridge, and Dishforth, and to terminate at the
Leeds and Thirsk Railway near to Math, at a junction with, and so
as to form an eastern continuation of, the Yorkshire and Glasgow
Union Railway.
The length of the line will be about thirteen miles, and, in forming
it, three objecrs are in view:
Ist. To accommodate Itoroughbridge, and a great extent of highly
fertile and productive country hitherto entirely devoid of railway
communication.

21. To form a connecting link between the Great North of Eng-
land Railway, and the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway, and
thereby connect with this project part of the trunk lines from Hull,
S.lby, York, Beverley, 3farketweighton, Poeklington, Scarborough,
Whitby, Pickering, Malton, &e., and the ea tern districts to Carlisle,
and the west of Scotland by the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union, which
passes through Bedale, Leyburn, Askrigg, Hawes, Kirkby, Stephen
Appleby, and forming a junction with the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway near Penrith.
3d. To supply the district in question with coal from the pits in tha
neighbourhood of Leeds, anti from those of Durham by means of the
Leeds and Thirsk Railway and its extension. To afford accommoda-
tion to the town of Boroughbridge anti ha locality by connecting it
with Carlisle, Durham, Hull, Ripon, York, Scarborough, &c., which
this project will do to a much greater extent than would have been
afforded by the Pill Moor branch of !art session, from the Great
North of England Railway to Boroughbridge, inasmuch as this line
will give an outlet hi both a northern and eastern direction, whilst
that of last session would have afforded merely a northern one.
The country is level, requiring no tunnel, and very little cutting or

map, be seen to be very considerable, especially with regard to rail-
way communication between the cities of Ripon and York, Rath
being only four miles north-east of Ripon ; and this line, in con-
nexion with the Leeds anti Thirsk Railway (which runs through that
city), forming a continuous, as well as the shortest and best, line of
railway between ll;pan and York.
In the alio; mcnt of shares preference will be given to landowners
and others locally.interested on the line.
Applications for shares (accompanied by a respectable reference) to
be made to the solicitor or agents in the annexed form:—
