bridge over the River Teign at Teignmouth
in the county of Devon to make further pro-

HEREAS by the Act 5 George IV. Cap. CXIV.
entitled " An Act for building a bridge over the
" River Teign at Teignmouth in the County of Devon
" and for making approaches to the same" (in this
Act referred to as "the Act of 1824") the Teignmouth
and Shaldon Bridge Company (in this Act referred to as
"the Company") were incorporated and authorised to
build and maintain a bridge over and across the River
Teign from Teignmouth to Shaldon with convenient ap-
proaches thereto to keep and maintain a boat for the
conveyance of foot passengers across the River Teign
and also to purchase a ferry over the said river from
Teignmouth to Shaldon:
And whereas the bridge was duly constructed and
has been open to the public for many years but it is
now considered necessary and expedient having regard
to the largely increased traffic thereon and with a view
to the safety of the public that the same should be
widened and strengthened and that the Company should
for that and other purposes be enabled to raise additional
capital:
