Persons injured by Insufficiency of Bridges may memorialize the Lord Lieutenant.
|
CXLV. ‘And whereas many County and other public Bridges in Ireland, while they are sufficient as Roadways or Passages, are insufficient to discharge the Flood Waters and Streams over which they are constructed, by means of which much Injury is done to and Improvement prevented in Lands lying above such Bridges, and it is expedient to provide Means by which the said Evil should be remedied;’ be it therefore enacted, That where, owing to the Insufficiency of any County or other public Bridge to discharge the Flood Waters in the River or Stream over which the same may be built, any Land is injuriously affected or Improvement thereupon prevented, it shall be lawful for any Person interested in such Land to present a Memorial to the Lord Lieutenant or other Chief Governor or Governors of Ireland stating the Nature of the Injury sustained or the Improvement prevented, together with the Cause thereof, and praying that the said Commissioners of Public Works may be directed to examine and report the same.
