the Reign of His present Majesty, intitiiled An Act for repairing
or
taking
down and

Bridge within the Borough and Town of Weymouth
and Melcombe Regis, in the County of Dorset; whereby the said Mayor,
Aldermen, Bailiffs, and capital or principal Burgesses, as Trustees under

Bridge on the same Site, or at some more convenient Place across the
said Harbour,, and to maintain the said Harbour and the Quays belonging
thereto, and to do, execute, and perform all Acts, Matters, and Things
requisite or expedient for carrying into execution the several Purposes in
such Act mentioned ; and certain Tolls, Rates, or Duties are thereby
granted to the said Trustees, for the Purpose of enabling them to effect the

are very inadequate to the Purposes to which they are applicable : And
whereas the said Mayor, Aldermen, Bailiffs, and capital or principal Bur-

First Year of the Reign of His present Majesty, have taken down and
rebuilt the said Bridge, and have borrowed considerable Sums of Money
on the Credit of the Tolls or Duties by such Act granted, which still
remain due; and .the same cannot be repaid, nor can the said new
Bridge, Harbour, and Quays be "maintained in Repair, unless the Tolls
and Duties granted by the said Act be varied.and, increased: And
whereas it is expedient that' the said recited Act. of the Twenty-second
Year of the'Reigri; of King

the Second" should be 'repealed, and
that other Powers and Provisions should be-granted and made instead
thereof;
and also that the Powers and Provisions of the said recited Act of

amended, and enlarged, and that further and additional Powers and Pro-
visions should be granted and made:: May it therefore please Your
