§ MR. WILLIAMS WYNNasked the First Commissioner of Works, If he is aware that there is no more recent Ordnance Survey of the county of Montgomery than that on the original 1-inch scale, published nearly 50 years ago, and now quite incorrect as to roads, &c.; if he would state why the 6-inch survey of Denbighshire, the triangulations for which actually extended into Montgomeryshire, was not continued over the whole of the latter county; and, if he can hold out any hopes of its being so extended; and, what prospect he can hold out of the publication of the portions of the 6-inch survey of the counties of Denbigh and Flint, which it is understood are already completed?
§ MR. GERARD NOEL, in reply, said, there was no more recent Ordnance Survey of the county of Montgomery than that which was made about 45 years ago, and it could hardly now be so accurate as might be desired. It had been decided to survey the counties of Denbigh and Flint because of their rich mineral products, and in order to carry that out a portion of Montgomeryshire was to be surveyed.
