§ MR. ALDERMAN LUSKsaid, he wished to ask the First Commissioner of Works, Whether the large Wooden Erection in Hyde Park is being taken down by his orders; and if he will state the cost of this erection and its removal; and further, if he will inform the House from what Fund, 1518 voted by Parliament, the cost will be defrayed?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERSsaid, in reply, that the gallery had been removed by his orders in consequence of a communication from the Horse Guards. The probable cost of its erection and removal would be £2,180, and that would be defrayed out of the vote for Civil Contingencies.
