§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLasked the First Commissioner of Works, as a matter of urgent public importance, Whether the wholesale cutting down of trees in Kensington Gardens is confined to dead trees; and, whether he will take care that such mismanagement as he (Sir George Campbell) had seen in the Gardens as he had passed through that day, in the cutting down of live trees, will not be repeated?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVRE, in reply, said, that a very large proportion of the trees in the Gardens were dead, and he had given notice that only those should 1113 be cut down. The live trees would not be interfered with.
§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLsaid, he would urge the right hon. Gentleman to take care that the live trees were not destroyed by the fall of the dead ones.
