§ MR. MOLLOYasked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether he has 1819 now obtained information as to the restrictions against hackney carriages entering Richmond Park, and what steps he has taken for their admission?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREI stated a few nights ago that I believed that hackney carriages were permitted to enter Richmond Park; I find upon inquiry that a subtle distinction is drawn between hackney carriages, numbered by the police and standing for hire in the streets or at the station, and those standing at livery stables; and that the former are not permitted to enter the Park. I have communicated with His Royal Highness the Ranger on the subject, and he agrees with me that this distinction cannot be justified. Henceforth, therefore, hackney carriages of all kinds will be permitted in Richmond Park.
