§ THE MARQUESS OF LANSDOWNEasked the Lord President a Question with regard to the Mounds between Rotten Row and the Serpentine, and in doing so said they were a great disfigurement to a very beautiful part of Hyde Park and interrupted one of the most charming views in it.
THE DUKE OF RICHMOND AND GORDONobserved that as the matter was under discussion in "another place," and the debate there had been adjourned, it would have been better had the noble Marquess avoided any reference to the subject. In answer to his Question, however, he might inform him that there were eight mounds in the portion of the Park which he referred to, four of which were planted with shrubs, and four had no shrubs. The mounds on which there were no shrubs were in course of being demolished, and with regard to the others, it was being considered whether they should be removed or not. No decision had been arrived at at present.
