§ MR. BENTINCKasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the information laid by the Attorney General against the lord of the adjacent manor, for severing a new pipe which conveyed water to Landguard Port, has been proceeded with successfully; and, if he can state to the House when the War Office hopes to supply that Fort with water, and when it will be occupied by troops?
MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, that the case against the lord of the manor was now in the hands of the Attorney General, and quite out of his control. It was before the Court of Chancery. Meanwhile the fort was not yet finished, or occupied with troops; and of course, while this dispute was pending, no steps had been taken to supply the fort with water from any other source.
