HuAlsson rose for the purpose, of moving that there he laid heffitte the House some Papers; in addition to those order/A on' Friday last, relative to the land granted at Chelsea, to Colo. nel Gordon, in order to enable the House to judge more satis factorily of the nature and circumstances of that transaction. lie had already in a former debate-stated that the coadition of the grant to Col. Gordon was, that no buildings should he erect ed on the land which could interfOre with Chelsea floipital. But having heard in that instance from two Hon. Baronets (Sir Francis atiltlett and Sit-Oswald Wisely) who had personally surveyed' the ;eremises, that the buildings iacontemplation would interfere with the Infirmary of the Hospital, he thought it • his duty to go the next day to inspect the ground and ascertain that fact. On inspection, hedid find That ;the ereetionof a httildirg ! in the situation where the. foundation was preparing, would in terfere with the Infirmary, and consequently would he a viola tion, or rather a departure from the condition of the grant. in .the evening he communicated this circumstance to his night 110. nottrable Friend (the Chiniellor of the Eichequer), and begged of hi t n to juopeet-io person the premises ; and the. con s eque nce was, thisboainquiry, it was . foun# that the person who had taken possession of the land, and was erayloyed to prepare the foundation of the building, bad not consulted either the `;tar veystr-etteartl. of OFown 40s, .or the Surveyor of Chel,ea :Lai4l,ooon the subject; 'l4 .inquiry had been directed in writ ingtoAteSUrveyor-General of Crown [Awls, and in consequence ithe' i ttitpa i tfOu tlf ,the foundation for the building had been altered; SO 014 it appealed by the answer, that a budding on the no w intended fonadation, would not, in th'e Smallest degree, interfere with ; the Hospital. The papers he shouldinove for, were copies of . the letters of. George Harrison, Esq. to the Surveyor-i..ieneral of Crowe Lands upon 014° suhject, together with . the ani,wers theretti.
