§ MR. HANBURYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If his attention has been called to the state of the road lying between Newington Green and Hornsey, and whether he is aware that the duty of keeping in repair this road is a disputed point between the parishes of Hornsey and Islington?
MR. THOMAS BARING,in reply, said, it was quite true representations had been made as to the state of this road, and the dangers arising to the public from its bad state of repair, and the police had as far as possible diverted the traffic by another way in order to prevent accidents. The repair of the road was a very small matter, costing about £40 per annum, and it was to be hoped that the two parishes concerned would come to some arrangement between themselves to repair the road, and thereby remedy the inconvenience to the public, without the necessity of resorting to legal proceedings.
