THE SERPENTINE.

DEPU rATION TO LORD JOHN MANNERS.
Ye,terday a deputation, appointed by the recent
meeting in Sloane-street, on the subject of the bad
condi ion of the Serpentine, waited on Lord John
Manners, at the office of the Board of Works, with
the view of urging on that department the neces-
sity of remedying the evil complained of. The de-
putation consisted of Dr. Copland, Dr. Lankester,
Dr. Pettigrew, Dr. Christian, Dr. Tilt, Mr. 'S. C.
Hall, Mr. Lilwell, Dr. Spurgin, &c.
Dr. COPLAND, in introducing the deputation, re-
ferred to the accumulation of mud in the Serpen-
tine, and the injurious emanations therefrom,
which, though not always accompanied by offensive
odours, were, he contended, none the less insalu-
brious on that account. He desired to impress upon
the Government the expediency of immediate
steps heing taken to remedy an evil of so crying a
nature.
Lord J. MANNERS said the first point to be con-
sidered was the prevention of the flowing of the
present quantity of sewage into the Serpentine
from the Bayswater sewer, without which other.
me issues would be useless. He was at present in
communication with the Metropolitan Board of
Works on that subject, and hoped that tit,' evil
would te c ffectually remedied. The removal of the
mud wag unquestionably a matter of some difficulty,
and scientific teen were not agreed as to the best at d
most ezonomic al method to he adopted. The subject,
however, shou d be carefully looked in•o, and some
means, if possible, adopted for removal of the mud.
As to the supply of water the suggestion thrown
out by Mr. Ldwall appear, d to be a reasonable
one. Several other suggesti'ms had been made to
him previously to that occasion, and he hoped it
might be found that one of them would answer the
purpose. He c,,,uld not undertake to commence
the work at once, as he thought Parliament ought
to have an opportunity of expressing its opinion
on the subject. He should be glad when he had
maturely considered the various points, and if he
could tee his way clearly, to propose an estimate
next session for the cleansing of the Serpentine,
but he did not wish to be understood as giving a
positive pledge, more especially as the Treasury
would have to be consulted before any steps could
be taken.
The deputation then thanked his lordship and
withdrew.
