Acts
relating
to
the
said Navigation
:
And whereas the Company
of
Proprietors appointed
by
or in pursuance
of
the said recited Acts have from Time to Time proceeded in the Execution
thereof, for which Purpose several very considerable Sums of Money,
raised under the Authority of the said Acts, have been expended, and the
said River
is
now made navigable from
Tinsley
to
Fishlock
Ferry,
and the
new Cuts or Canals authorized by the last-recited Act have been made
and completed
:
And whereas the Improvement, Extension, and Altera-
tion
of
the said Navigation have been very beneficial to Trade and
Manufactures in that Part
of
the Kingdom, by means whereof the
Car-
riage and Conveyance
of
Coal, Corn, Lime, Stone, ‘l’imber, and other
heavy Goods, Wares, and Merchandizes, have been facilitated to and
from the Port
of
Hull,
and the Towns and Parts adjacent
to
the said
River, and also to and from
London
and several other Parts of the King-
dom
;
but by reason
of
the several.
Shallows
and Bends in fhe River
Dun
above
Doncaster
the Navigation thereof in dry Seasons has been impeded
and obstructed
:
And whereas
it
would tend to the more effectual Improve-
ment of the said Navigation, and be the Means of preventing Inconve-
niences and Delays,
if
the
said
Company
of
Proprietors were empowered
to
make and maintain the hs and Canals herein-after particularly
described,
from
and out
of
the
said
River, in order to avoid the Shallows
hd’
&nds
in the sald Rivep, and thereby
to
abandon the present Navi-
gation
in
certain Parts thereof, and
to
alter
the
Course of the River in
some other Parts, and
to
make and maintain other
Curs
or
Canals, with
the
necessary Bridges, Hauling and Towing Paths, and other Works
thereto, ahd
to
dEer the Course or ChantleI of the said River
Dun
in
sevetd Races herein-after mentioned
;
and
it
is
therefore necessary that
further Powers should be granted for enabling the said Company
of
Proprietors
to
effect the same; and
also
for amending, altering, and
enlarging the Powers and Provisions
of
the said recited
Acts
;
but as the
same cannot be effected without the Authoricy of Parliament, 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
Par-
liament assembled, and by the Authority
of
the same, That all the Powers,
Exemptions, Penalties, Forfeitures, Rules, Remedies, Directions, Payments,
Provisions, Matters, and Things contained in the said recited Acts, or any
of
them, (except such Parts thereof as are varied, altered, or repealed,)
shall
be
as good, valid, and effectual for carrying this Act into Execution,
in as full, ample, and beneficial
a
Manner, to
all
Intents and Purposes
whatsoever, as
if
the same had been repeated and re-enacted in the Body
of
this Act; and that the Company of Proprietors
of
the Navigation
of
the said River
Dzrn
shall
be
and they are hereby authorized and empowered,
from
and after
the
passing
