SIR JAMES LAWRENCEasked the Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, If his attention has been called to an announcement in "The Estates Exchange Register" of June 1st, of the proposed sale for building purposes of the freehold enclosure forming the south side of Euston Square?
§ SIR JAMES M'GAREL-HOGGSir, in answer to the Question of my hon. Friend, I beg to inform him that I had not seen the announcement to which he refers previously to the Notice of his Question. As the result of inquiry, however, I have been informed that the inhabitants of the south side of Euston Square have a right to the use of the gardens during the continuance of their leases, which have in most cases about 40 years to run, and I have reason to believe that no alarm is felt by them at the disposal of the ground rents.
