Note. - Statement B. does not include:—
1st. Parcels by coaches for intermediate distances.
2d. Vans, market carts, and gigs.
3d. Fly boats conveying Liverpool, Manchester, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire goods which enter the line at different places between London and Birmingham, and only go part of the distance.
Nor is any allowance made for the considerable increase, which may certainly be calculated upon from the carriage of meat, fish, dairy produce, and eggs, and of other articles, not now carried to any extent by the existing modes of conveyance.
