HC Deb 18 May 1866 vol 183 c1149
MR. LOCKE

said, he wished to ask the First Commissioner of Works, Why the Turf has been stripped off a space of nearly three acres in Hyde Park, near to the Guards' Barracks, on the north side of the Serpentine; and whether it is intended to replace it?

MR. COWPER

was understood to say that it was owing to the very ungenial state of the weather that the turf had not been already re-placed.
