“BAGNALL'S”

Stx,—Upon reading the article pub- lished in a recent issue of Tue Examiner, referr iy to the leath of the late Mr Richard Bagnall, it cecurred to me that a fuller account than was given therein of

prove of interest to many of your following

I therefore beg to « mntribute the «ketch of its early history :

The West Road, as it was at first called, afterwards the old Malpeque Road, was one of the first public highways opened in this Island. The road was mainly due to the public eXx- ertions of James Bardin Palmer, Esquire, father of th lat Chief-Justice ard of Charles Palmer, Esquire In 1804, Mr Palmer, who was then Commissioner of Highways for the west district, ad iressed a memorial to Lieut.-Governor Fanning in hiel ex-
