Transfer of Holme
Mr Dixon proposed and Mr Andrew seconded that the Clerk write to Mr Hawes drawing his attention to the House of Lords having reversed the decision of the lower courts in the case of the Caterham Rural District Council and the Borough of Croydon and to ask whether in view of that decision it would be advisable for this Council to enter an appeal against the decision of the Derbyshire County Council in order to get compensation sustained through the loss of Holme
Midland Railway
