The Question OF Crown Landslide Vote
in Favor Of the People.
TELEGRAM 10 TINE NEW YORK HERALD

LONDON, April 20. 1871.
In the House OF Commons there was an excii.
ing debate last night 10 the ownership OF Epping
Forest. The crown has nominally been considered
"a the owner of this ground although Its claims 10
1t have been repeatedly disputed and could never
he legally established.
The Ministry made u stand last night upon the
question and brought II to the test. The result was
defeat for the government, although Mr. Lowe
ana MIR. Gladstone made long and able speeches in
defence OF the crown claims.
The debate was inaugGrated by MIR. Cowper TEN
pie who submitted motion in favor OF the reserva-
ton of q part of Epping Forest for pubic park.
The motion was opposed by Mr.. Lowe ana Mr..
Gladstone, because the property belonged TO the
crown and not 60 the pubic
Mr.. Harcourt argued that the public the
owners OF the grounds and not the crown.
Upon division there was majority OF i0l against
the government.
