An order has also been passed by the Metropolitan Board of
Works for the re-numbering, under the name "Foubert's Place," of
the line of houses formerly known as Foubert's Place, Tyler
Street, Tyler's Court, and part of Marshall Street.
In the month of November last the Metropolitan Board of
Works informed the Vestry that they had received a representation
of the inconvenience caused by the existence of the two names
"Pall Mall" and "Pall Mall East," and inquired the views of the
Vestry as to the desirability of abolishing the latter name and
re-numbering the whole line of thoroughfare. It appeared to the
Vestry that this course would be of public advantage, and the Board
were informed accordingly. The Vestry of St. Martin-in-theFields,
however, objected to the proposed alteration, Pall Mall East
being within their jurisdiction, and the Board therefore took no
further action in the matter.
The following statement shows the number of houses affected by
the above-mentioned orders of the Metropolitan Board of Works :—

6th March, 1857, placing that portion of Oxford Street which is
situate in the Parish of St. James under the jurisdiction of the
Vestry of St. Marylebone for all the purposes of the Local
Management Act. The cost of lighting, paving, cleansing, watering,
&c., that portion of the thoroughfare is ascertained annually and
paid by the Vestry. The annual charge for this work amounts to
about £400.
By an order of the Metropolitan Board of Works, dated the
10th August, 1866, specified sections of the following thoroughfares
