MR. M'CULLAGH TORRENSsaid, he would beg to ask the hon. Member for Bath, When the purchase is likely to be completed by the Metropolitan Board of Works of the 250 acres of land they were empowered to buy and appropriate for Finsbury Park by the Act of 1857; and whether they have agreed to sell, for building purposes, twenty acres out of the 120 acres now possessed by them, contrary to the intention of the Act referred to?
§ MR. TITE, in reply, said, the Metropolitan Board of Works had purchased 120 acres, at a sum of £24,000, for the purposes of the Act. With respect to the disposal of that land, they had not parted with any portion of it whatever or in any manner. No such arrangement as stated had been come to with respect to the twenty acres referred to by his hon. Friend.
