§ MR. RENTOUL () Down, E.I beg to ask the President of the Board of 770 Trade whether a Memorial has been presented to the Board of Trade calling attention to a level crossing on the Belfast and County Down Railway, near Helen's Bay, which is alleged to be dangerous to the public; and whether such danger exists; and, if so, whether anything has been done or can be done in the matter?
§ MR. BRYCEYes, Sir; I have seen the Memorial referred to. The crossing is an ordinary occupation crossing, and the Board of Trade have no powers over it. An Inspecting Officer of this Board recently visited the place, and advised the Board that there was nothing exceptionally dangerous in the crossing or its surroundings. I fear nothing can be done in the matter, as the Act of 1863 affects only turnpike roads and public carriage roads.
