HC Deb 24 August 1831 vol 6 c539
Mr. John Wood

presented Petitions from the Inhabitants of Windlesham and Chatham Harfield, Binfield, and East Hampstead, praying, that the House would not pass the above bill into a law, unless it should contain a clause for the protection of all roads and rights of way through common-fields, waste ground, and commonable lands, whether or not any claim had ever been made to those roads and rights of way, or whether or not the right had ever been exercised.

Mr. Sanford

said, that he had the management of the Bill, and would have no objection to introduce such a clause as that for which the petitioners prayed.

Mr. Fyshe Palmer

said, that he had been intrusted with a petition of a similar nature. The persons who had given him that petition would be highly gratified at the declaration made by the hon. Member.

Mr. Godson

concurred in the prayer of the petition.
