November, 1887, Messrs. Goodacre, Elkins, Walden, G. P. Smith,
Walter, Hunt, Easton, Hamer, Dyer, Attenborough, and Lawrence,
were appointed the Deputation to wait upon the Directors of the Gas
Company at Horseferry Road, Westminster, on the 18th November, 1887,
and on the latter day the Deputation met at the Vestry offices, considered
the points to be discussed at their interview with the Directors of the
Gas Company, and proceeded to Horseferry Road, Westminster. At the
Meeting of the Lammas Rights Committee held on the 2nd December,
1887, Messrs. Walden and Hamer reported the result of the interview
of the Deputation with the Gas Company, when it was resolved that
the Surveyor prepare a plan showing an Approach Road from King's
Road to three acres of land in western boundary of the Gas Company's
land, by way of Hugon Road, Stephendale Road, and Town Mead Road,
at a width of not less than 40 feet in any part. On the 12th December,
1887, the Surveyor submitted plan showing Approach Road as above,
which having been considered by the Committee and fully discussed, it
was resolved that the Surveyor bring up at the next Meeting of the
Committee a report of the separate values of the properties affected,
and that the Vestry be recommended to co-operate with the Gas Company
for the extinction of Lammas Rights, in any way they (the Company)
may suggest, for the sum of £5,000. The Surveyor submitted the report
re the separate values of the properties affected to the Committee at their
Meeting on the 19th January, 1888, and the same having been considered
he was instructed to prepare another report for submission to the
Committee at an adjourned Meeting to be held on the 31st day of
January, 1888. On the 2nd February, 1888, the Surveyor produced his
report hereon as directed, and the Committee having considered and
revised same, it was resolved that the report as revised be adopted and
sent to the Vestry for approval, and the said report was adopted by the
Vestry on the 8th February, 1888.

To the Chairman and Members of the Lammas Rights Committee.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
At a Meeting of this Committee, held on the 18th instant, I was
directed to submit a full Report, setting forth the various matters and
interests involved in the question between the Vestry and the Gas
Company.
The question arises out of the action of the Gas Company in
fencing in certain lands in this Parish, abutting on the River Thames,
