An Act for establishing Markets at Swansea in
the County of Glamorgan. [23d May 1828.]
W
HEREAS an Act was passed in the Fourteenth Year of the
Reign of His late Majesty King George the Third, intituled
An Act for fixing and regulating a public Market and 14.
Shambles for the Sale of Meat within the Town and Borough of
Swansea in the County of Glamorgan: And whereas, in pursuance of
the Powers contained in the said Act, an additional Market Place was
made and erected within the said Borough ; but in consequence of
the great Increase of the Trade, Manufactures, and Population of the
Neighbourhood of Swansea, and of the Numbers of Persons frequent-
ing the Market of the said Borough and Town of Swansea, the
principal Thoroughfares through the said Town and Borough are
obstructed, and rendered very dangerous and inconvenient to the In-
habitants and the Public at large passing into and through the same :
And whereas it would be a great Convenience and Accommodation
to the Inhabitants of the said Town and Borough of Swansea, and of
the neighbouring Country, frequenting the said Town on Market
Days,
and would tend to remove Nuisances and Obstructions, if
Power was given to make a new Market for Corn, Cattle, Hor s;es,
Sheep, Butchers Meat, Poultry, and all other marketable Commodi-
ties,
and proper and sufficient Stalls, Standings, and Accom-
modations therein for all Persons frequenting the said Market, and
