2250. The arbitration really is this, to see
that the statement of the net protits is a true
and correct statement? — Yes, but in the case
of the Railways it is very much more than that)
it is an examinaiion of all sorts of Utile rights.
2251. I am afraid, then, that we shall not
get all the information that we want? — 1am
afraid we connot put in un estimate of that.
2252. I should like to see what proportion
your revenue of 280,000 l. hears to the amount
of capital that you intend to dishurse? — I can
only give you my opinion that the estimated net
revenue will cover any capital that can possibly
be wanted.
2253. We are to rest satisfied with your
statement? — 1 do not say that you are to do
that; but that is all I can say. During the vaca
tion Ute whole amount to be pcdd will be ascer
tained, and then it will come before the nextPar
liament to confirm it, and Parliament will then
have an opportunity, ev&n if this Bill be passed,
of saying, that we shall not buy, and the Bilt will
then be inoperative.
1868, 10 July. Frank Ives Scudamore Esq.,

the Tølegraph Companies till after this Bill was
sent to the Select Committee? — No.
2332. At the time this Bill was sent to
this Committee you had petitions against you,
had you not, from 25 or 30 different interests?
— Yes, quite that.
2333. Since that time, have you, with the
exception of the interest which Mr. Merewether *)
now represents, bought up every interest, or
contracted to buy up every interest, which was
represented by those petitioners? — Yes, sub
ject to arbitration and the approval of the Com
mittee.

Companies against tho Bill.
2250. Yoldgiften er i Yirkeligheden denne, at
undersøge, hvorvidt Opgaven over Nettoindtægten
er en saud og korrekt Opgave? — Ja, men i Så
gen med Jernbanerne er den meget mere end det;
den er en Undersøgelse af alle Slags stnaa liet
tigheder.
2251. Da er jeg hange for, at viikke kom
me til at faa al den Underretning, vi ønske? —
Jeg er hange for, at viikke kanfremlcegge et Over
slag over dette.
2252. Jeg vikle gjerne se, i hvilket For
hold Deres Indtægt af 280,000 Lstr. staar til det
Kapitalbeløb, som De agter at udrede? — Jeg
kan blot sige Dem min Mening, at den anslaaede
Nettoindtægt vil dcékke hvilkensomhelst Kapital,
som der paa nogen Maade kan blive Spørgs
maal om.
2253. Skulle vi slaa os tiltaals med Deres
Udsagn?. — Jeg siger ikke, at De skal det; men
det 1er alt hvad jeg kan sige. Under Parliamenis
ferierne vil man have forvisset sig om det hele
Beløb, som skal betales, [dg derpaa vil det blive
forelagt næste Parliament foråt békrceftes, og Par
liamentet vil da have Anledning til, seiv om denne
Bill gaar igjennem, at erklære: vi ville ikke kjøbe,
og Billen vil da blive virkningsløs.
