Taking into consideration all the circumstances of the case, the Board do not consider
that the complaint of the Vestry is a matter in which they have any grounds for interference.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
The Clerk, COSMO MONKHOUSE.
Vestry of Rotherhithe,
Town Hall, Lower Road, S.E.
Town Hall, Lower Road, S.E.,
9th August, 1898.
Sir,
Referring to your letter of the 6th instant, I am not quite clear as to the meaning of the
following paragraph contained therein : —
"In any case it does not devolve upon the Board to go into the effect of the work3
upon the property of adjoining owners unless their attention is particularly called to the
matter."
The Vestry, as adjoining owners, have particularly called the attention of the Board to
the matter of the erection of the Campshed, and therefore I shall be glad to be informed of
the exact meaning of the paragraph before referred to.
Thanking you in anticipation,
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
JAMES J. STOKES,
The Assistant Secretary., Clerk to the Vestry.
(Fisheries and Harbour Department) Board of Trade.
Board of Trade
(Fisheries and Harbour Department),

24th August, 1898.
Sir,
With further reference to your letter of the 9th instant, relative to the Campshed which
has been constructed by Mr. John Hollway at Trinity Wharf, Rotherhithe, I am directed by
the Board of Trade to state for the information of the Vestry of Rotherhithe that the paragraph
you quote from the Board's letter of the 6th inst. (F. and H. 7896) refers (to the time
when plans of works on the foreshores of the River Thames are submitted to the Board for
their statutory approval.
