Act of the Twenty-third Year of His late Majesty, for repairing
the Roads from Dunglas Bridge to the Town of Haddingtoun, and

Change of Proprietors since the passing of the said first-recited Act,
it would be of Advantage that a new and exact List of the Number
of Ploughgates in the respective Parishes within the said County be
obtained, and that more effectual Provisions be made for collecting
and applying the Statute Labour
thereof:
And whereas by the second-
recited Act certain Persons were appointed Trustees for making and
repairing the Roads therein mentioned, who have proceeded to put
the said Act into execution, and great Progress has been made in
completing and repairing the said Roads, and large Sums of Money
have been borrowed and are still owing upon the Credit of the Tolls
and Duties thereby authorized to be levied, and the said Act is
about to expire, and the said Roads cannot be repaired or main-
tained, or the Money due upon the Credit of the Tolls be repaid,
unless Powers be granted for these Purposes : And whereas it would
be expedient and advantageous to the Public, and to the Inhabi-
tants of the said County, if the Roads authorized to be made by
the said recited Acts were made and maintained, and if certain of
the Statute Labour or Parish Roads in the said County were rendered
Turnpike, and put under the Charge of the Trustees to be appointed
by this Act: And whereas an Act was passed in the First and Second
Year of the Reign of His present Majesty King William the Fourth,
intituled An Act for amending and making more effectual the Laws
concerning Turnpike Roads in Scotland: May it therefore please
Your Majesty that it may be enacted; and be it enacted by the
King'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 Authority of the same, That from
and after the passing of this Act the said recited Acts of the Ninth
and Fifty-first Years of the Reign of His Majesty King George the
Third, except in so far as the last of the said recited Acts is herein-
after continued to the Twenty-fifth Day of May One thousand eight
hundred and thirty-four, in relation to the Tolls thereby granted,
shall be and the same are hereby repealed, saving and reserving to
the respective Counties of Edinburgh and Haddington all Right
to which they are entitled under the various Acts now in force
for making and repairing the Turnpike and other High Roads in
the County of Edinburgh; and instead thereof this Act shall
commence and shall continue in force during the Term herein-
after mentioned.
