A.D.

in the county of Essex in the Barking Town Local
Board and for other purposes. [9th June 1893.]
/ HEREAS by an Act of Parliament passed in the twenty-sixth
year of His late Majesty King George the Third chapter
one hundred and fifteen intituled " An Act for providing a proper
workhouse and better regulating the poor within the parish of
Barking in the county of Essex and for regulating the common
wharf within the town of Barking" (hereinafter referred to as
"the Act of 1786") provision was made for the appointment of
directors for the purposes of the Act and the directors were
empowered to make rules and regulations for the use and protection
of the public wharf at Barking Creek adjoining the town of Barking
aforesaid:

second year of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria chapter
forty-six and known by the short title of " the Barking Parish Act
1888"
all powers and duties conferred or imposed by the Act of
1786 upon the directors therein mentioned in respect of the said
public wharf and creek were vested in certain conservators to whom
powers were given for maintaining the same and it was enacted
in effect that the expense of such maintenance and of carrying
the rules into effect should be a charge on the poor rates of the
parishes of Barking and Ilford in certain proportions:
And whereas from the passing of the Act of 1786 for a very
considerable period the wharf was used almost exclusively by the
inhabitants of the town the farmers in the parish and the fishing
fleet sailing from Barking but at the present time it is almost
entirely used by persons residing outside the parishes of Barking and
Ilford:
' And whereas it is expedient that the cost of repairing and main-
taining the wharf and creek should not be paid out of the poor rates
levied in the said parishes:
