§ MR. LAWSON (St. Pancras, W.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether his attention has been called to the state of Whitfield Chapel Burial Ground, Tottenham Court Road; if he is aware that it has been converted into a ground for public shows and amusements; and, whether he has any power to put a stop to the proceedings which have been described as disgraceful by the Parliamentary Committee of the Vestry of St. Pancras?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.), in reply, said, he was informed by the Commissioner of Police that the ground had been let to a person who was using it as a place of entertainment, and had erected swings and shooting galleries. An injunction had been obtained restraining the person from continuing a noisy entertainment, and from giving annoyance to worshippers in the chapel. A summons had been taken out against the person under the Unlawful Fairs Act, and would be heard that day.
