RIGHT OF WAY OVER PRIMROSE
HILL.
On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone
Vestry (Mr. Churchwarden Daniell in the chair),
Mr. KENSETT said he wished to bring before the ves-
try a report of vast importance, inasmuch as it involved
the public right, which, in his opinion, had been in-
fringed upon. He was anxious to press this matter,
more particularly' as this was the last day, after nine
years' service to the parish, that he should have the
honour of a seat in that vestry.--(Hear.) He had been
returned by the parochial committee by large majorities;
and, although it was a subject of much mental pain to
him, the great sacrifice he had made of his business
demanded that he should withdraw from public affairs.
Taking, as he had done, for nine years, a conspicuous
part in the debates of that vestry, it could not be ex-
pected but that he should come in contact with gentle-
men possessing opposite opinions, and that, at times,
some asperity should exist between them, but he
sincerely trusted that he should part, whatever might
have been their differences, with every member of
the board that day with good feeling.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Kensett proceeded at great length to eulogise the
conduct of the chairman and the vestry clerk, from
whom he had received the most marked atten-
tion and kind assistance in all he had undertaken for
the good of the parish, and he said he would con-
clude by leaving them as a legacy the following re-
port relative to an infringement on the public right.
Mr. Kensett here read the report of a committee, of
which he was chairman, appointed to inquire into a re-
cent infringement of the public right of way leading to
Primrose-hill from the Avenue-road. It set forth that
a foot-path and right of way, running from the south-
west to the north-east, and leading over a stile from the
Avenue-road to Primrose-hill, which path had been
known to exist for upwards of thirty years, is now
about to be closed by a Mr. Fry, a builder, who oc-
cupies under the Duke of Portland. The stile had
already been taken down, ' and, a bank and hedge
planted. A granite stone, with the parish mark,
designating the boundary, had also been taken
up and laid at a distance from the spot where it ori-
ginally stood, the boundary line forming two-thirds of
the path thus stopped, and the public excluded from :ac-
cess to Primrose Hill, which, by the benificence of the
Crown, had been recently purchased for the use of the
people in perpetuity. The Report proceeded to state
that the Committee considered that a violation of- the
public right of way was about being carried into effect,
and it concluded by recommending that a deputation be
immediately appointed to wait upon the Commissioners
of Woods and Forests, to call upon them to enforce such
right being continued, in order that that place of recrea-
tion and health, Primrose Hill, may be preserved to the
public inviolate, and that the surveyor have the parish
boundary mark replaced in its original position, and that
the party moving it be charged with the expense.
Mr. BIERS seconded the adoption of the report. He
deeply regretted, as he was sure the entire vestry must
do, the loss of such a man as Mr. Kensett. In a ques-
tion of the present importance his services would be most
essential. Here was evidently a gross infringement about
to be attempted upon the rights of the public—a right
which, to his recollection, had existed for nearly forty
years. Primrose-hill had recently been purchased for
the public use and recreation by the Commissioners of
Woods and Forests, and one of the most important paths
leading thereto, namely, that which communicated with
Paddington, the Edgware-road, and Kilburn, was in
colirse of being blocked up. He believed that under the
circumstances the best course that could be adopted was,
that they should call upon the Commissioners of Woods
and Forests to assist them in preventing this right of way
from being invaded. The public were themselves deeply
interested in this matter, and he hoped they would sup-
port the vestry and the Government in resisting any such
encroachment upon their rights.
Mr. JOSEPH concurred in what had fallen from the
previous speakers. The stoppage of this thoroughfare
prevented access to Primrose Hill from all parts of West-
bourn and Avenue roads, and, in fact, shut out a large
portion of the inhabitants of Marylebone and the whole
of Paddington from that place of public resort and re-
creation, without going round for a considerable distance
to the llampstead or the St. Pancras side. He cor-
dially supported the proposition, and hoped that no time
would be lost, as the works were proceeding.
Mr. FOSTER concurred in the report, and hoped that
the Government would take the matter up immediately,
in order to prevent a recurrence of such proceedings as
took place with regard to the Hippodrome--the people
in that instance having taken the law into their owl
hands. Although not a member of the vestry after tha
day, he should like to see Mr. Kensett one of the depu-
tation.—(Hear. )
The motion was here put, and carried unanimously
and a deputation having been appointed to wait upor
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests upon the sub-
ject, the vestry separated.

TIIE EARL OF WALDEGRAVE.--When Lord
Waldegrave arrived in the Queen's Bench on Monday, he pro-
ceeded to the coffee-room of the prison. In the course of the
evening Lady Waldegrave came in her carriage, and was im-
mediately conducted to his domicile ; but her ladyship was so
annoyed by the gaze of the prisoners (who formed an avenue
through which she had to pass) that she determined never to
go within the prison again ; in consequence of which Lord
Walde,giave has the apartments over the lobby of the prison,
occupied by Sir Francis Burdett when he was committed to
the custody of the marshal. His Lordship since his imprison-
ment has been very liberal to the roar debtors. He has a
numerous retinue about him, sees a goad deal of company, and
lives in excellent style. When Sir Francis was there he had
a parole of honour between gates, which the Court of Queen's
Bench can grant, but the marshal (Mr. Chapman) has not the
power himself' to allow such liberty.
GLASGOW AND EDINBURGH RAILWAY.—
The contractors on the above line of railway are getting for-
ward with their respective portions in a manner highly satis-
factory. It is expected the above railway will be opened from
end to end in the month of August next, and should favoura-
ble weather continue we have no doubt but such will be the
case.— Glasgow Chronicle
