§ MR. MAPLE (Camberwell, Dulwich), asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to the fact that a fair is, and has been for some time carried on upon a piece of ground situated between number 20 and number 22, Church Street, Camberwell, to the great loss, inconvenience, and annoyance of the tradesmen and residents generally in the neighbourhood; and whether, in view of such injury caused by the fair, he will instruct the Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis to take immediate steps to put an end to it?
§ MR. J. R. KELLY (Camberwell, N.), had also on the paper the following question:—To ask the Secretary for the Home Department, whether he has received complaints as to the great loss and annoyance caused to tradesmen and ratepayers generally in Trafalgar Road, Old Kent Road, owing to the carrying on of the fair now held there; and, whether he will instruct the Commissioner of Police to proceed against the owner or occupier of the land upon which this fair has now been held for many months.
§ MR. MATTHEWSI will answer this Question of the hon. Member for Dulwich, and that of my hon. Friend the Member for North Camberwell, at the same time. I received on Saturday last two communications al 836 legging inconvenience caused by fairs at Camberwell and Old Kent Road. These I at once referred to the Commissioner of Police, who has not yet had time to make the necessary inquiries and to report to me on the subject.
