LEASE! AND 5A!.151..0.F FTTLED ESTATES ACT

AMENDMENT BILL
Mr. COX moved the sewed mediae di this M. He
stated that a clause bad been inserted is the act of MB for
the express purpose of depriving Sir T. Wilsoe el the power
of leasing settled property, part of that property being
Hampstead heath. The object of this bill was to restore
Sir T. Wilson to the privileges enjoyed by all other English.
toss ; but inasmuch as he (Mr. Cox), as a metropolitan
member, who had always maintained the right of the London
public to um Hampstead-heath, would be one of the last
persons in the world to permit the enclosure of that spot of
groand, he bad inserted in the bill a clause exempting from
its operation all open lauds used for purposes of public re-
=Mice and health within seven mils of London and two
miles distant from other towns.
Lord ENFIELD said that he doubted whether the bill
would hate the effect that the boa. member anticipated.
If they were to repeal the clause whereby Sir T. Wilson was
prohibited from leasing Hampsteedbeeth, of course Sir
T. Wilson would exercise that power, and ben red the
exception would prove inoperative. Be begged Locos move
that the bill be read a second time that day six months.
Mr. AY RTON said be must plead guilty to having joined
iii an act of great injustice to • private gentleman, for the
benefit of the public. He understood, however, that Sir T.
Wilma had now resolved to treat the question of the leasing
of Hampstead-heath as distinct from that of the rest of his
property. Upon that understanding, and feeling the injustice
that bail been done, be was prepared to support the bill
No doubt there was some inconsistency in the house dealing
with a private matter by • public bill ; but that was owing
to the peculiar circumstances of a public act having been
passed to meet the case of a private individual.
Mr. DOLYLTON denied that the hon. member for Fins-
bury represented the opinion of the metropolis in his pro-
motion of this bill. He would remind the boo. member that
the Metropolitan Board of Works, which might be supposed
to represent metropolitan opinion, had unanimously decided
against any proposition like the present.
Mr. HAN BLRY reminded the horse that Sir Thomas
Wilson inherited this property with the proviso that he wan
to have so power to grant leases.
Mr. ALOOCK opposed the bill.
Sir M. VETO feeling convinced that Sir T. Wilson was un-
fairly dealt with, supported the bill. Sig T. Wilson was
not a young man, and his successor could, by cutting off the
entail and selling the property, effect all the objects now
sought.
Sir J. SHELLEY denied that Sir T. Wilson suffered any
injustice, seeing that his father had put a proviso in his
will rigidly preserving Hampstead-heath in its present
form. He trusted, therefore, that the house would not
now reverse so many of its former decisitam
The house divided— ei
