§ MR. MOORE (Armagh, N.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if the Crown has conveyed its rights between high and low water-mark on a portion of Carlingford Lough to Colonel Ross at Rostrevor; and, if not, under what title does this gentleman prevent the taking of sand and gravel from the shore there.
§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGEThe foreshore at Rostrevor is under the management of the Board of Trade. The Board have not conveyed to Colonel Ross any foreshore at this place, nor have they received any complaint that he has prevented the removal of sand and gravel therefrom. Any such complaint that may be addressed to them will be carefully investigated.
§ MR. MOOREIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that Colonel Ross has put up a notice prohibiting people taking sand from the foreshore.
§ MR. LLOYD GEORGEI am not aware of it. He has no authority from the Board of Trade.
