A meeting took place consequently on the 9th of May, at which the
following resolution was passed:—
Resolved, that Messrs. William Hall (church warden), John Perry,
James Miles, George Wevell Richards, and William Whitehead, being
five of the persons entitled to Lammas or other Commonable Rights
over or in the piece of land called ‘The Lots Meadow,’ otherwise
‘Chelsea Lot Mead,’ situate in the parish of Saint Luke, Chelsea, in
the County of Middlesex, and containing by admeasurement three acres,
two roods, and thirty perches, or thereabouts, and marked or referred
to in the map or plan, and in the book of reference of the West
London Extension Railway, deposited with the Clerk of the Peace for
the said County of Middlesex, by the number 10 in the said parish of
St. Luke, Chelsea, shall be, and they are accordingly, in pursuance
of the provisions of the ‘Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845,’
appointed to be a Committee having all such powers as by the ‘Lands
Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845’ are conferred upon Committees of
like description, to treat with the West London Extension Railway
Company for the compensation to be paid for the extinction of all
Lammas or other Commonable Rights over or in the said piece of land.
The important question of the boundaries of the parish has occupied
considerable attention during the past year, and has been the subject of
a reference to a sub-committee of the committee of works and for general
purposes, who have still the subject under consideration.
Various memorials and petitions have been presented during the year, to
which, as they sufficiently elucidate the subjects of them, and are
printed in the appendix (Nos. 23 to 27) no further allusion need be made
here.
