of the Estates Governors of Alleyn's College,
Dulwich, proposing that a certain highway or footpath
situate at Dulwich, between Turney road and Gallery road,
might be stopped up or diverted, and to substitute in lieu
thereof a new road named Burbage road, of a more commodious
character. The Committee, with your Surveyor,,
viewed the highway or footpath and the road, and finding
that the new highway or road was slightly longer but very
much wider, they recommended the Vestry to comply with
the application and to instruct the Vestry Clerk to apply to
two Justices of the Peace to view the same, to which the
Vestry (as Surveyors of Highways) agreed.
The Magistrates duly viewed the locus in quo, and consented
to the proposed diversion or substitution at a Court
held at the Surrey Sessions, on 24th October last.
