United Kingdom House of Lords Decisions

The object of this Order was to extend the existing tramway system for an additional distance of about three-quarters of a mile, and to make another small extension by means of a loop line. The proposed work involved certain street widening operations, for which authority was asked. The Order was originally opposed by the Glasgow and South-Western Railway Company, who, however, withdrew their opposition before the inquiry, an agreement having been arrived at by the insertion of a clause for their protection.

The promoters led evidence, and the Commissioners found the preamble proved, and thereafter the clauses as adjusted were put and carried.
