paved with Limmer Asphalte. A question has arisen as to
whether it was competent for the Company to dispose of any
portion of the site of Cumberland Street for other than Railway
purposes, they having sold a plot of laud to certain parties for
the erection of a public house and other buildings, as surplus land,
and the Board have now under consideration the propriety of
enforcing a claim for compensation, which they have made against
the Company.
Tramways. The London Street Tramway Company have a Bill before
Parliament to authorise the construction of additional Street
Tramways in the Counties of Middlesex and Surrey, and the City
of London, and for other purposes, by which Bill, power was
sought (inter alia) to lay down Tramways in that part of the
Borough High Street, between Southwark Street and the Railway
Termini at London Bridge; but, in consequence of the opposition
of this Board, the proposal has been abandoned, and clause 33a
struck out of the Bill.
Copyhold In the year 1864, a plot of copyhold land at the corner of
Land Broadwall, and Commercial Road, Lambeth, together with the
Broadwall. messuage or tenement standing thereupon, was purchased for the
purpose of setting back the frontage, and widening the Street,
and the improvement having been effected, a small vacant pieco
of land remained fenced in and unproductive. This surplus land
the Board have lately sold, at the price of £110, to Mr. John
Mills, of No. 59, Broadwall, and the sum has been placed to the
credit of Christchurch.
