preventing the passage over the Parish Boundary, which was
also locked; upon reference to the notes taken in the Perambulation,
1876, it was observed that a similar state of
affairs existed at that date, for Mr. J. Bond was then
requested to remove certain material which had been deposited
on the line of this portion of the Boundary, which it
is alleged he promised to do. I understand from a letter
which I submit to you this evening, from the Vestry's Surveyor,
that permission is sought to build on this strip of land
which forms no part of the adjoining property, but as far as
could be ascertained was left open in order to enable the
Parish Officers to perambulate the boundaries; and Mr.
Cornwall and Mr. Jones, Road foreman, both state that they
had access through this passage in previous perambulations.
I therefore think that this matter should be inquired into
further.
No. 16. Since previous perambulations St. Paul's School premises have
been erected, and the stones therefore require revision
throughout the whole premises.
Nos. 14a, 14b, 1'5, 15a, 15b, 15c, 16, 16a, 16b, 16c, are within the above
mentioned premises.
No. 14. This stone is now situate in the back garden of No. 1 St. Paul's
Studios, with a fellow stone belonging to the Parish of
Hammersmith; it was therefore resolved that the kerb stone
outside No. 1 St. Paul's Studios be marked with a line
indicating the direction of the boundary.
No 13a. This stone is situate on the crown of the Embankment at the
rear of No. 1 St. Paul's Studios, and is in good condition.
No. 13. This stone could not be traced, it was consequently resolved
that a stone be fixed in the wall on the south side of the
railway, and that the pavement be marked on both sides of
Margravine Gardens indicating the direction of the boundary
line.
No. 12. This stone has now been lost to view by the houses being built
in Margravine Gardens, but was understood to be fixed in the
boundary wall of the Hammersmith Cemetery, it was, however,
resolved that a stone be fitted in the boundary wall at
the rear of Nos. 31 and 33 Margravine Gardens, in the party
wall between the gardens of the two houses.
No. 12a. This stone, it was understood, was fitted when the subject of
the paving of Margravine Gardens was under consideration,
and is situate in the Dwarf wall in front of No. 35 Margravine
Gardens, and dated 1888.
No. 12b. It was resolved that a stone bearing this number be fitted in
the Dwarf wall of No. 16 Margravine Gardens, on the left
hand side of the stone belonging to the Parish of Hammersmith,
and close beside thereof.
No. 11a. This stone was found on the railway embankment, dated 18/6,
and in good condition.
No. 11. Is situate on the railway lines, dated 1876 and marked "18 feet,
north;' there is also a duplicate stone between the railway
lines indicating the exact boundary.
