An Act for making a Railway from Staines to join
the London and South-western Railway near
Farnborough, with a Branch to Chertsey.
[25th June 1847.]
HEREAS the making of a Railway from Staines in the
County of Middlesex, to join the London and South-
western Railway at or near Pirbright in the County of
Surrey, with a Branch therefrom to Chertsey* would be of great public
and local Advantage: And whereas the Undertaking hereby autho-
rized to be made will be connected with the London and South-
western Railway, and it is expedient that the Company incorporated
by this Act should be authorized to sell or lease the said Undertaking
to the London and South-western Railway Company, and that the
said London and South-western Railway Company should be autho-
rized to subscribe towards or to accept a Lease or Transfer of the
same : And whereas the Persons hereafter named, together with other
Persons, are willing at their own Expence to carry such Undertaking
into execution ; but the same cannot be effected without the Authority
of Parliament: And whereas an Act was passed in the last Session of
Parliament, called " The London and South-western Railway, Chert-
sey and Egham, Act, 1846," whereby the said London and South-

western Railway Company were enabled to make a Branch from their
Main Line of Railway to the Towns of Chertsey and Eg
ham;
And
whereas by the Construction of the Railway hereby authorized, with
the Branch therefrom to the Town of Chertsey, the Communication
between the said Towns of Ciwrisey and Egham will be better cffi
"°cted
than by the said authorized Chertsey and Egham Branch Railway;
and it is therefore expedient that the said London and South-western
Railway Company should be empowered and required to abandon and
relinquish so much of their said authorized Branch Railway as lies
between Sweeps Lane in the said Town of Chertsey and the Termi-
nus thereof in the Parish of Egham ; May it therefore please Your
Majesty that it may be enacted; and be it enacted by the Queen's
most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the
Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parlia-
ment assembled, and by the Authority of the same, That the "Com-
panies Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845," the il Lands Clauses Con-
solidation Act, 1845," and the "Railways Clauses Consolidation Act,
1845,"
shall be incorporated with and form Part of this Act, save as
to such Parts thereof
as
may be modified by or inconsistent with the
Provisions of this Act.
