§ Against the insertion of the words "Bridges over or" in Clause 14.
§
"DISSENTIENT:—
1. Because these words are introduced for the purpose of sanctioning the erection of a bridge across the Strand to remedy the inconvenience (inseparable from the proposed site) arising from one of the most crowded thoroughfares in the metropolis being between the Temple and the new Courts.
2. Because such a bridge in connection with the new buildings must be a most unsightly object if carried across the street in one span, and hardly less so if in any other manner, and will, in the latter case, perpetuate and perhaps add to the present Temple Bar obstruction, and the demand for which is as discreditable to the taste of the Templars as it will be to that of any authority which may hereafter permit it to be erected.
REDESDALE.
