| Description | Letter from Edgar Bowring to Colonel Grey mentioning an accompanying plan showing land near Gore Lane (not present). He reports that his is the house and garden of Mr Hilyard, who is a lessee of the Commission. He states that a strip of the land is required for a road and that Mr Hilyard has demanded that they either pay £5000 for his lease, or £1000 for the strip of land alone. Bowring states that this is exorbitant and instead suggests that they offer him £300 for the strip of land. He asks for Prince Albert's opinion on the matter. |
