§ MR. J. G. TALBOTsaid, he would bog to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether his attention has been called to the fact that Cremorne Gardens are frequently open until 3 a.m. by special License to the great annoyance of the inhabitants of that neighbourhood, and whether he intends to take any stops to prevent a recurrence of the nuisance?
MR. BRUCEsaid, that under the authority of the Act of Parliament the Secretary of State had given permission for the gardens being kept open beyond the usual hour for five days during the present year. Upon inquiry he understood the proceedings at the gardens were conducted with the greatest possible order, and he had received no complaints whatever with respect to them. If such a complaint were made he should feel it his duty to inquire into it.
