authorized by the said first-mentioned Act, it was amongst other
things enacted, that
so
much
of
the said first-recited Act as required
the said Company
to
raise the said Capital
or
Joint Stock of Three
hundred and seventy thousand Pounds should be repealed, and that
in lieu
of
the said
Sum
of Three hundred and seventy thousand
Pounds it should
be
lawful for the said Company to raise among
themselves the
Sum
of
Three hundred and thirty-five thousand
Pounds, and to borrow and take up
at
Interest One Third of the
Amount
of
the Capital actually subscribed
:
And whereas the said
Company have made considerable Progress in executing the Works
authorized by the said recited Acts, and have expended thereon
a
large Proportion
of
the Capital authorized to be raised thereby, but
it has been found that the Money which the said Company are
so
authorized to raise will
not
be sufficient to complete all the Works
and fully to carry into effect the Purposes of the said recited Acts,
and it
is
therefore expedient that the said Company should be
empowered to raise
a
further Sum
of
Money, and that some
of
the
Powers and Provisions contained in the said recited Acts should be
altered, amended, and enlarged: And whereas the Approach or
Road to the Station of the said Company at
Ulleslcelf
in
the Parish
of
Kirby
Wharfe
in
the
West Riding
of
the County
of
York
is incon-
venient, and
it
is desirable that the same
should
be altered and
improved: And whereas Part
of
a certain Highway leading from
Tadcaster
to
Selby,
both in the said Riding, which
is
in the Parish
of'
Kirby
Wharfe
aforesaid, might be diverted and shortened, and
such Part
of
the said Road, when
so
diverted and shortened, will be
a
public Convenience: 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,
Extendiog
and by the Authority of
the
same, That all Provisions, Matters, and
Powersof
Things contained in the said recited Acts or either
of
them,
so
far
to
tllis
Act,
-
as
the same are now unrepealed, and except
so
far as any of them
are by this Act repealed, altered,
or
otherwise provided for, shall
extend to this Act, and to the several Purposes and 'I'hings hereby
authorized to be effected and clone, and shall,
so
far as the same
may
be
applicable, operate
and
be in force in respect to the Objects
and Purposes of this
Act,
in the same Manner as
if
such Provisions,
Matters, and Things were repeated and re-enacted in this Act
in
