XIV. And whereas by the before mentioned act made in the first year of the reign of his present Majesty, it was enacted, That it should be lawful for the mayor, sheriffs, and commonalty of the city of Cork, to build a stone bridge over a branch of the river Lee, running through the said city, from the quay opposite to the street called Princes-street on Dunscombs Marsh in the said city, to the northern or opposite part of the island called Lavits Island, and to build one other bridge of two stone arches, and a listing or portcullis bridge over the southern channel of the said river, to the Red Abby Marsh: and whereas it hath been found that it would be more useful to the inhabitants of the said city, and to the trade thereof, that a draw bridge or portcullis bridge should be made in the place, where by the said act the stone bridge was appointed to be built, namely, from the quay opposite to the street called Princes, to the opposite part of the said Lavits Island: be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it may and shall be lawful for the mayor, sheriffs, and commonalty of the said city of Cork, to take down the stone bridge, which hath been erected over the said branch of the river Lee, which runs between the said island and Dunscomb’s Marsh, and in the place and stead thereof, to build and erect a turn or draw bridge, or portcullis bridge; and to build, erect, or finish a stone bridge of three arches over the southern channel of the said river, from the said island to the said Red Abby Marsh, in the place where the bridge of two stone arches and a portcullis bridge was by the said act appointed to be built.
