§ SIR LAWRENCE PALKasked the President of the Board of Trade, If he is prepared to give an answer to the petition of Memorialists, presented to him last Session, praying that a Lighthouse should be placed on Bury Head?
§ SIR CHARLES ADDERLEYSir, the answer sent by the Board of Trade to the memorialists was that their request would be referred to the Trinity House, who are the proper lighthouse authorities, and without whose concurrence no lighthouse can be erected. The Elder Brethren have answered that they are of opinion that a lighthouse on Bury Head must be looked upon strictly as a local light and of no advantage to the passing trade, though it might be useful as a guide, under certain circumstances, into Torbay.
