§ MR. BRADYsaid, he would now beg to ask the Chief Commissioner of Works if he is aware that Foot Passengers entering on the New Chelsea Bridge are compelled to pass over whether they desired it or not, and then to pay a second toll to be allowed to return; and, if so, whether he purposes taking any steps to remedy this inconvenience?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERSsaid, he was aware that such was the case, and the arrangement had been entered into with the view of consulting the public convenience. When he mentioned that not less than 30,000 persons went over the bridge on Sunday last, it must be obvious that if, when they went part of the way over the bridge, they were then to turn round and walk back again on the comparatively narrow footpaths, much inconvenience would result. Of course, if public inconvenience resulted, some other arrangement would be made.
