36. Are you acquainted with the Northampton market?
Yes.
39. Do you think that additional buyers would be induced to attend the market if there was a Railroad conveyance in that neighbourhood?
Yes. I consider so. It is now brought there principally by corn dealers, and sent to market again by boat.
47. Do you not hold two farms?
Yes.
48. Are those two farms your own property, or held for any body else?
I hold one as an executor for my brother, and the other I rent.
49. Do you suppose if this Railroad was established that it would be an advantage to you, farming those two farms?
I consider it would, particularly to one I occupy as trustee for my brother; it passes very near to it.
50. Would the value of the farm be raised, in your opinion, by having the Railroad pass it?
I think so.
Mr. William Kay.—p. 143.
1. Where do you reside?
At Tring.
10. Near the line of the proposed Railroad?
I believe about a mile and a half from it.
11. Does the Railroad go through any land of yours?
It does.
13. You do not suppose that any inconvenience would result from the Railroad passing through your land?
Not so far as I am a judge.
14. Do you conceive that your estate would be increased in value by the passage of the Railroad?
I should think it is most likely.
15. Have you any doubt of it?
Not any.
