under the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, empowering them to
take certain property abutting on Wellington Road, Westbourne Road,
and Hides Street together with Nos. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16, Hides
Street and also that portion of the street upon which those premises
abut, the latter has been stopped up and appropriated by the Board.
The Board agreed to remove the paving and deliver it to the
Vestry's depot, and to construct a sewer along Westbourne Road
East from Wellington Road to Hides Street, and also along that portion of
the latter street which remains open in substitution for the sewer which
passed under the property acquired and which would be interfered with
when the School was built. This work has been carried out by the
School Board under the supervision of the Surveyor. The length of the
portion of the street taken by the Board is 87 feet 3 inches. The
street was previously a cul-de-sac.
