VESTRY OF THE PARISH OF FULHAM,
In the County of London.

connected with my department for the year ending 25th March, 1893.
During the year 307 summonses have been issued for amounts
due for apportionments; the following of which have been contested:—
MORNINGTON AVENUE.

paving opposite a strip of land in Mornington Avenue. The defendant
argued that he had a very short interest in the land in question, and
merely used it as a passage to the back part of his premises, and that
he was not during the continuance of his interest in the property
allowed to make any access to the road in question, the Magistrate
made an order for the amount claimed, but expressed his opinion that
the claim should be allowed by the Vestry as a flank.
NORMAND ROAD.

paving expenses, and proposed to pave on portions of land that had
not been dedicated to the Parish. Evidence was given to shew that
the public had had a right of user over the land in question for a
considerable period. After a lengthy hearing the Magistrate made
an order for half the amount claimed; the defendant dedicating the
land inquestion to the Parish.
ST. ALBANS TERRACE.
These summonses were issued against the occupiers to recover
the estimated expenses of paving St. Albans Terrace. The Magistrate
