§ SIR JOHN SHELLEYsaid, he wished to put a question to the First Commissioner of Works on a subject which had excited much interest—it was, Whether he proposes to make a road through the centre of Kensington Gardens, as was stated, joining Tyburnia to Belgravia, and going over the site of the Exhibition building? He would also ask whether the right hon. Gentleman will make such a road without previously coming to Parliament for its sanction.
§ MR. AUGUSTUS SMITHsaid, he wished to know whether the right hon. Gentleman means to apply for the consent of Parliament in the first instance.
MR. COWPERsaid, he had thought it unnecessary to say that if any money was required for any works in the Park, he would certainly think it right, upon the whole, to ask the House to vote the money before he spent it.
