|. crossed so far towards its completion, that, (as
+ we are informed in the very number Of the paper
u that contains the above dIscourtcous notice of a

as fore. or jealousy, can be supposed to lie at the
Fl bottom ofthis ungencrous assault upon the Rut-

mont. Certainly the period for confrorcrsy be-
n. tween the Central and Rutland roads has long
d. since passed away. Both roads are under con-
'N tract, and assuredy it is not for Nr. WALTON &c
