B Division, Special Report.
9th April, 1861.
In reference to my report of the 4th instant, respecting the state of the
carriage road leading to the New Chelsea Bridge, I omitted to state that
a portionof the road, viz., from Queen’s-road East to the
Commercial-road, a distance of 374 yards, is without gas lamps, or light
of any kind at night, rendering it a very dangerous thoroughfare, and
affording great facility for depredations to be committed. I also beg to
mention that Her Majesty, when in town, frequently passes along this road
on her way to the new park at Battersea.
G. M. GIBBS,
Superintendent.
