Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation Act, 1864

ARDGLASS.

Provisional Order of the Board of Trade for the improvement, Maintenance, and Regulation of the Harbour at Ardglass in the County of Down.

Preamble. 7 & 8 Geo. 43 c. lxxx.

Whereas by the Act of the session of the 7th and 8th years of King George the Fourth (chapter 80, local and personal). “for maintaining and improving the harbour of Ardglass in the county of Down,” herein-after referred to as the Act of 1827, it was provided to the effect that the rates specified in that Act and the schedule thereto should be levied, and that there should be such Commissioners for the execution of that Act as therein mentioned, and that all money received from the rates (after defraying the expense of collection) should be applied in the improvement, maintenance, and repair of the harbour:

And whereas for a long time past the pier and works constructed or improved under the authority of the Act of 1827 have been in a ruinous condition, and there has not body of Commissioners constituted under the said Act, and no rates have been levied thereunder, and the Act of 1827 has consequently become and is wholly inoperative:

And whereas, under The General Pier and and Harbour Act, 1861, and The General Pier and and Harbour Act, 1861, Amendment Act, the promoters of the Ardglass Harbour made application by a memorial to the Lords of the Committee of Her Majesty’s Most Honourable Privy Council appointed for the consideration of matters relating to Trade and Foreign Plantations, herein-after called the Board of Trade, praying their Lordships to make a Provisional Order under those Acts, and thereby to empower the promoters to execute the works herein-after mentioned at the Port and Harbour of Ardglass aforesaid, and also to levy and recover harbour rates and duties not exceeding those mentioned in the Schedule hereunto annexed, and for the incorporation of a Company:

And whereas the estimated expenditure on the proposed works is twenty thousand pounds and no more:

And whereas the promoters published the advertisements and deposited the documents which, by the last-mentioned Act, they were required to publish and deposit:

And whereas the Board of Trade, after making such inquiries as they have thought expedient, have settled this present Provisional Order, and intend to cause a Bill to be introduced into Parliament for the purpose of obtaining an Act for the confirmation of this Provisional Order (until which confirmation this Provisional Order will not be of any validity of force whatever.):

Now, therefore, the Board of Trade do, by this their Provisional Order, in pursuance of The General Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, and The General Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, Amendment Act, and by virtue and in exercise of the powers thereby respectively in them vested, and of every other power enabling them in this behalf, order—
