LIVERPOOL, ORMSKIRK,

AND PRESTON

AND THE
LIVERPOOL AND,PRESTON AND MANCHESTER AND

SOUTHPORT RAILWAYS

T:a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABITANTS
11. of ORMSKIRK, held in the TOWN-HALL, on WEDNES-
DAY, the 11th day of March, 1846, convened by the Constable,
in compliance with a Requisition from a Committee appointed
by the Inhabitants to guard the interests of the Town so far as
they might be affected by the Raffwarp.r2jects before Parliament,

The CONSTABLE of the 'DOWN in the Chair

The Secretary of the Committee having presented a ;{'report to
the Meetino,of their proceedings during the last Session of Par-
liament, and 6 urging the superior advantages offered by the
Liverpool, .Ormskirk. and Preston, over that of the Liverpool
and Preston .and Manchester and Southport to Ormskirk.and
the neighbourhood, with a recommendation to oppose the Li-
verpool and Preston and Manchester and Southport in every
stage in its progress through Parliament, as being detrimental
to the interests of the Town and Neighbourhood,

It was proposed by Mr. STONER, seconded by Mr. BAKEN-
DALE, and carried unanimously, "That the Report of the Com-
mittee, now read, be adopted by this Meeting.'
Also moved by HUGH OWEN, Esq., seconded by THOMAS
BRANDRETH, Esq., and resolved unanimously, " That the
Committee of last year be reappointed, and conceiving as the
Meeting does the success of the main lines from Melling to Fa-
rington, and from Wigan to Southport, of the Liverpool and
Preston and Manchester and Southport so vitally objectionable
to the welfare of the Town and Neighbourhood, that they be
empowered by this Meeting to oppose the bill in every stage,
both in the House of Commons and the House of Lords."
It was also proposed, and carried unanimously, " That the
Constable be added to the Committee."

Also moved by JAS. PALMER, Esq., seconded by LAWRENCE
WRIGHT, Esq., and carried unanimously, " That the Petition
now read be adopted, and signed by the Chairman and Com-
mittee, on belief of the Meeting, and forwarded for presenta-
tion to the House of Commons without delay."
(Signed) WILLIAM EVANS, Constable.
The Constable having left the chair,
i the thanks of the Meet-
ing was voted to him for his conduct n the chair, as also to the
Committee, for their attention to the interests of the Town.
The following is the Petition agreed to :
To THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KING-
DOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PARLIAMENT

ASSEMBLED.
The humble Petition of the Constable and Inhabitants of the
l'oarn of Ormskirk, in the county of Lancaster, in Public
lifeeting assembled,
SHOWETII,
That the population of the town of Ormskirk now approaches
to 5,000, and that of the parish to 15,000.
That Ormskirk is the capital of a rich agricultural district,
and the only market town within a radius of thirteen miles.
That Railway communicating with Liverpool and Southport,
as also Preston, Blackburn, Burnley., Bolton, Manchester, and
the manufacturing districts, is of :imperative importance to
your Petitioners, for the more ready, and speedy interchange of
merchandize and agricultural produce.
That Ormskirk possesses the elements of great manufacturing
prosperity, and only awaits a communication with those towns
to render it inferior to few in Lancashire.

That two bills have heen presented ioiourhonourable house,
offering Railway communication to Ormskirk, as appears by
the plans deposited under the order of year honourable house,
namely, the• Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston, and the Liver-
pool and Preston and Manchester and Southport Railways.
That the Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston Railway offers the
most efficient communication by means of the main line to Li-
verpool, Preston, Blackburn, and Burnley, and by the branches
to Wigan, Bolton, Rochdale, Manchester, and Southport, and
other towns of great importance to your Petitioners.
That the Main Line from Melling to Farington, of the Liver-
pool and Preston and Manchester and Southport, is longer in
point of distance between the termini, and avoids a large
amount of population, and the routes proposed not so well
adapted for the general traffic of the town of Ormskirk, as the
Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston, and 'n other respects from
the d►versity of interests under which it is constituted, not so
well calculated to meet the wants of the district.

That the portion'of the main line from Wigan to Southport,
of the Liverpool and Preston and Manchester and Southport,
miles in length, intersects the main line from Melling to
Farington, at a distance of three miles from Ormskirk, without
any apparent object but diverting the traffic through an unna-
tural channel, and that, too, at an expense far beyond what the
necessities of the termini require ; and at the same time depri-
ving your Petitioners-of the benefit of railway communication
with one of the most valuable coal fields in Lancashire'
That the Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston Branch, joining
the Ormskirk extension of the Liverpool and Bury Railway,
granted in the last session of Parliament, passing through Orm-
skirk to Southport, only 10f miles in length, will not only more
generally and efficiently accommodate Southport one of the ter-
mini, but the town of Ormskirk, from whence the supplies for
the consumption of Southport are principally procured, besides
opening the coal fields before alluded to, from whence Ormskirk
and Southport have hitherto been supplied with coals.
That your Petitioners conceive that their interests and that of
the public will be greatly injured by the spirit of monopoly
whieh appears to have instigated the promoters of the Liver-
pool and Preston and Manchester and Southport in projecting
their scheme ; and will, moreover, be, as your Petitioners con-
ceive, entirely ruinous to them, and highly disadvantageous '
the public, should your Honourable House approveof the inter-
section of the main line as contemplated by that company.
Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray that they may be
heard by themselves, their counsel, agents and witnesses, be-
fore the Committee to whom the said bill is referred against the
Preamble of the Dill for making certatn Railways and Branches
therefrom, all in ,the county of Lancaster, to be called the Li-
verpool and Preston And Manchester and Southport Railway,
and against all such domes and .provisions of the said Bill as
affect their rightts and interests, and that the said Bill may not
be passed into A j.aw as it sAiw stands, or they may have such
other relief in thf premises as to your
_Honourable HOuse shall
,seem meet.
And your petittwers will ever prof,
