§ MR. EDWARDSasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he purposes taking any steps with reference to the removal of Temple Bar, which is now in so dangerous a condition as to necessitate carriages passing through it at a foot pace, and causes risk as well as obstruction to the traffic in that crowded thoroughfare?
MR. ASSHETON OROSS, in reply, said, he had placed himself in communication with the Lord Mayor on the subject, and" he found that negotiations were going on in the City of London with the Office of Works and the Metropolitan Board of Works as to what was to be done with Temple Bar. He was told that in the meantime there was no danger to anyone passing through, and he hoped that before long a final conclusion would be come to on the matter.
