§ MAJOR SIBTHORPsaid, he would beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works, whether (in the event of there being no valid objection) he would take 931 early steps for promoting the convenience of the public, by permitting private carriages and public cabs, under the same restrictions as are now in force between the Marlborough and Buckingham Palace Gates, to go through St. James's Park, and out at the south-eastern gate, near Storey's Gate, into the Birdcage Walk?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERSsaid, he had no power to allow carriages to pass through the park in the way suggested; and if the hon. and gallant Gentleman asked his opinion on the subject, he should say that to afford any additional facilities for traffic would be contrary to the opinion of the Select Committee which had sat to inquire into the matter.
