Chatteris and March, to Wisbech Saint Peter's, and from thence to
Tid Gote in the Isle of Ely, and from Wisbech aforesaid, through
Outwell, to Downham Bridge in the County of Norfolk: And
whereas considerable Sums of Money are now due and owing on the
Credit of the Tolls authorized to be taken by virtue of the said Act,
and such Sums cannot be paid off, or the Interest thereof discharged,
nor can the said Roads be effectually repaired, unless further Powers
are granted, and the Term of the said Act further continued : And
whereas Part of the Road by the said recited Act directed to be
repaired between the Towns of March and Wisbech Saint Peter's
passes along the South Bank of the Wisbech River, and it was pro-
vided by the said Act that the said Bank should be supported by the

Trustees acting in execution of the said Act during the Continuance
thereof,
they the said Trustees receiving annually certain Contribu-
tions towards the Support
thereof,
as therein mentioned : And whereas
by reason of Improvements effected in the Outfall of the said River
since the passing of the said Act, the Expense of supporting the
said Bank has considerably increased, and the Trustees acting in
execution of the said Act are unwilling to continue to receive
the said Contributions and to take charge of the said Bank: And
whereas it is doubtful whether the said Bank can be maintained in
its present Course and of its present Dimensions, and it is therefore
expedient that the Trustees should be empowered, if they should
think fit, to abandon as Turnpike so much of the Road as passes
along the same, and that further and more effectual Powers should
he granted, as well for maintaining the Remainder of the said
Roads as for enabling the Trustees to make the Road or Highway
between the said Towns of March and Wisbech Saint Peter's called
" The Wisbech and March Low Road " Turnpike, in lieu of the
Portion of the Road so proposed to be abandoned as aforesaid ; but
the Purposes aforesaid cannot be effected without the Authority of
Parliament: 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
