§ Mr. Ewartasked the noble Lord in the office of the Woods and Forests, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to throw open Richmond Park and Kew Gardens?
The Earl of Lincolnreplied, that there was no present intention to make any alteration with respect to those grounds.
§ Dr. Bowringinquired whether any change or alteration was contemplated with reference to the not very intelligible order given to the gate-keepers in St. James's-park, by which persons having parcels were not allowed to pass through? It had occurred to himself once to be sent back because he had a bundle of petitions and a book in his hand, and the order was the cause of great public inconvenience.
The Earl of Lincolnsaid, that the order in question was not made by the Woods and Forests, but by his Royal Highness the ranger of the park, and he knew nothing more of the order than seeing it in the papers.
