Sir A. GEDDES

I am sending the hon. and gallant Gentleman lists giving the names of the railway companies in Great Britain and Ireland respectively, of whose railroads, including any lines worked by them, possession has been taken under the Regulation of the Forces Act, 1871. The Board of Trade have not taken possession of any railroads under other powers.
