The London County Council have had under
consideration the desirability of making bye-laws for the

(b) Annoyance by shooting galleries, swing boats, &c.
(c) Occupation of land by squatters, gipsies, &c.

the bequest was made the income from the charity was
£7 10s. Od. per annum, of which sum £5 was left for
apprenticeships and the remainder for the repair of a
specified part of the Streatham High Road. The income at
the time of the application to the Commissioners was £25 per
annum, and the Board agreed to waive their claim to any

Charity Commissioners having, however, declined to
consent to the proposed new scheme, the Board in
November last revoked their resolution of March, 1890,
and applied to the Local Board of Guardians for payment
of the balance available for road repairs which they had
in hand. This balance (£149 5s. 5d.) has been paid to
