(1.) That Kingswood Road was a new street under the
Statute.
(2.) That the defendant was in receipt of the rack
rent.
(3.) That he was legal owner, and liable to pay
£490 l1s. 4d., and costs, and made an order
accordingly.
The defendant applied for a Special Case on the two
latter points. (The first point was a question of fact and
not of law, and no case could be granted on that point.)
The Court gave leave for a special case.
The defendant ultimately abandoned it and paid the
money. The Vestry have now paved and made up this
road.
Church Street
Fair.
Many complaints having been received from
the Residents of Church Street, Camberwell,
of a Fair, consisting of shows, roundabouts, &c., that
was being held on a piece of ground at the rear of
22, Church Street, I was instructed to write to the
Chief Commissioner of the Police, asking him to take
proceedings under the Metropolitan Fair Act, 1868, a reply
was received stating that there was no disorder, and that
the Police did not propose to interfere in the matter. It
was in the power of the Police to have issued a summons
under the "Fair Act," but they declined to put the provisions
of the Act in force. This nuisance continued for
some time, and a Deputation of the Inhabitants attended
the Vestry, and I was instructed to take proceedings, to
compel the removal of the Fair.
