Cap.lxxviii.
An Act to incorporate " The
Kingston-upon-Thames
*Gas
Company," and to enable them to light with
Gas the Parishes of

and

in the County of

[3d

1854.]
W
HEREAS in the Year 1835 certain Persons formed them-
selves into a Company, under the Name of " The
Kingston
Gaslight and Coke Company," for the Purpose of manu-
facturing Gas and lighting with Gas the Town and Parish of
Kingston-
upon-Thames : And whereas the said Company have for some Time past
supplied with Gas the greater Part of the Parish of
Kingston-upon-
Thames,
but the Population and House Property within the said Parish;
and in the Neighbourhood thereof, have of late Years greatly increased
and are still increasing, and it is necessary that the existing Works of the
Company should be extended and enlarged ; and it is expedient that
the Company should be enabled to extend the Supply of Gas to the
neighbouring Parishes of
Long Ditton
and
Thames Ditton :
And whereas
the said Company would be better able to carry on their Undertaking if
they were incorporated, and if certain other Powers were conferred upon
them ; but these Objects cannot be accomplished 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,
[Local.]
