&
io Vict, present Majesty, intituled An Act for better draining and improving
c 297. certain Low, Marsh, and Fen Lands lying between Boston Haven
and Bourn in the County of Lincoln, and for farther improving the
Navigation through such Lands, which said last-mentioned Act is
called "The Black Sluice Drainage Act, 1846:" And whereas all
the said recited Acts relate to the same Districts of Land now denomi-
nated the Black Sluice Level, and are executed and put in force
by the same Body of Commissioners called the Black Sluice Com-
missioners : And whereas by the said last-recited Act various and
extensive Works were authorized to be executed for improving the
Drainage of the said Lands, and the Navigation of the Drains through
the same, and the Commissioners were empowered to let by Lease
the Tolls authorized by the said second-mentioned Act to be taken
for the Use of such Drains, and certain Rates or Tajxes were charged
or authorized to be charged on the said Lands, for the Purpose of
defraying the Expense of executing and maintaining such Works, and
also of discharging certain Debts which had been contracted under
the Authority of and for the Purposes authorized by the said first
and second recited Acts: And whereas considerable Progress hath
been made in the Works authorized by the said third-recited Act;
but the whole of such Works cannot be completed within the Time
in the. said Act limited for that Purpose, and the Monies authorized
to be levied and raised for the Completion of such Works, and for
other the Purposes authorized by the said Act, will not be sufficient
for such Purposes respectively: And whereas the Portion of Works
which must be left unfinished in consequence of such Insufficiency of
Means will, if a Remedy be not provided, be very detrimental to the
Drainage and Navigation so intended to have been improved : And
whereas it is expedient that the Time by the said third-recited Act
limited for the Completion of the Works thereby authorized should
be extended, and that additional Taxes should be granted and autho-
rized to be raised, and that Powers should be granted to raise further
Sums of Money, and that some of the Powers and Provisions of the
said recited Acts should be repealed, altered, amended, and extended,
and that further Powers should be granted for carrying the Purposes
of the said Acts into full and complete Effect: And whereas the
Queen's most Excellent Majesty in right of Her Crown is seised of
or entitled to certain of the said Lands proposed to be charged with
such additional Taxes : And whereas the several beneficial Objects
before mentioned cannot be effected without the Authority of Parlia-
ment : May it therefore please Your Majesty that it may be enacted ;
and be it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by- and
with the Advice'and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal,
and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the
Provisions Authority of the same, 'that all the Powers, Provisions, and Enact-
or recited ments contained in the said recited Acts or any of them, so far as
Acts ex- t|3e same are now unrepealed, and except such of them or such Parts
this Act° thereof respectively as are by this Act expressly repealed, altered, or
otherwise provided for, shall, when the same are or can be applicable
to the Objects and Purposes of this Act, extend and be construed to
extend thereto and to the Provisions of this Act, and the Construction
and Interpretation
thereof,
and to the several Matters and Things
