Sir,—Your letters of the 5th ultimo, and 6th instant, the former requesting that the portion of the road leading to Chelsea Bridge, in this parish, may be immediately put into a proper state of repair, and the latter transmitting a report of the Police to the First Commissioner of Her Majesty’s Works, &c., upon the same subject, having been referred by the Vestry to their Committee of Works and for General Purposes, have, together with the former correspondence, and proceedings in this matter, received their careful consideration. In addition to the above mentioned two letters, the Committee also had before them a letter from Sir Richard Mayne, dated the 9th instant, enclosing a further report from Superintendent Gibbs, omitted from his former report above alluded to. The Committee having reported their annexed resolution, and the Vestry having approved of the same, I am directed to request that you will lay the same before the First Commissioner. Resolved,—That the First Commissioner of Her Majesty’s Works, &c., be informed that the Committee agree with him as to the bad state of that portion of the road leading to Chelsea Bridge, lying in this parish, which is probably owing to the manner in which it was originally made up, and to the works which have been lately executed there; and as the First Commissioner is aware of the difference of opinion which exists as to the legal obligations of his department on the one hand, and of the Vestry of Chelsea on the other, with respect to this portion of the road, he be again urged, as he was twelve months ago, to concur with the Vestry in adopting some inexpensive and expeditious mode of bringing the questions in difference before a competent tribunal for final decision. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, CHAS. LAHEE, Vestry Clerk. A. Austin, Esq., Office of Works, &c., Whitehall Place, S.W. * * * * * _Vestry Clerk to Sir Richard Mayne_, _Chief Commissioner of Police_. April 26th, 1861. CHELSEA BRIDGE ROAD. Sir,—Referring to your letter and enclosure of the 9th instant, I am directed to transmit you copy of a letter sent for submission to the Right Honourable the First Commissioner of Her Majesty’s Works, &c. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, CHAS. LAHEE, Vestry Clerk. Sir R. Mayne, &c., &c., Chief Commissioner of Police, Scotland Yard. (A copy of the last letter was enclosed).
