§ Sir W. COLLINSasked the First Commissioner of Works why that portion of Regent's Park which lies between the Outer Circle, Gloucester Gate, the Canal, and the Zoological Gardens, and to which the public have hitherto had access, has been shut up for the last three or four weeks; and when it will be reopened to the public?
§ Sir A. MONDIt has, unfortunately, been found necessary to close these portions of Regent's Park bordering on the canal, owing to the condition of the Canal Company's fences. These afford so little protection that the banks are dangerous to children or others who would otherwise make use of these enclosures. There is no immediate prospect of reopening them at present.
