Sheffield, Newcastle, Bristol, and other large places, praying that the railway companies might be prevented from resorting to illegal and improper means in order to defeat fair competition (Herepath's Railway and Commercial Journal, x1, p. 599). With all this testimony, the conclusion is almost inevitable that the Grand Junction Railway Co. paid little attention to the verdict of the court; but continued the policy which was considered as most effective for driving the private carriers off their line. On the whole subject of the relations of the railways to the carriers, see Nash, Railway Carrying and Carriers' Law (1846), Pt. II, Chap. XI, which takes up the two great cases, Pickfords v. Grand Junction Railway Co., and Parker v. Great Western Railway Co. Hodges, The Law relating to Railways and Railway Companies (1847), Chap. II, also treats the whole question fully from the legal side, and goes exhaustively into the two great cases. See also the public discussion of it in the Railway Chronicle, 1844, pp. 110–11, 134–5, 159–60, 184–5, and ibid., 1845, pp. 173 and 379, in which the railway side is taken; as it is also in Brit. Mus. 8235. b. 57 (1), 'The Carriers' Case considered in Reference to Railways' (1841), a small pamphlet written in a very biased vein. Both sides are presented in The Times, Mar. 5, 1844, p. 5; June 10, 1844, p. 6; Sept. 27, 1844, p. 6; April 21, 1845, p. 6; Mar. 21, 1846, p. 5; July 24, 1846, p. 4; Aug. 3, 1846, p. 3.
