Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation Act, 1864

TORQUAY.

Provisional Order of the Hoard of Trade for the Improvement, Maintenance, and Regulation of the Harbour of Torquay in the County of Devon.

Preamble.

43 Geo. 3. c. lxxviii.

Whereas by an Act of the forty-third year of King George the Third, intituled “An Act for repairing, enlarging, and improving the pier and quay within the Port or Harbour of Torquay in the county of Devon,” (herein-after called the Act of 1803,) Sir Lawrence Palk, then of Haldon House in the county of Devon, Baronet, since deceased, his heirs and assigns, were authorized to repair or enlarge and rebuild the then pier or quay at Torquay, or to build new pier or quay within the part therein described of the Harbour of Torquay, which part is herein-after referred to as the Old Harbour, on his or their lands there, as he or they should think fit, and to demand and take for all ships, boats, and other vessels thence-fourth coming into or otherwise using the Old Harbour, or lying at anchor within the same, and for all goods, wares merchandise and other things landed or shipped within or from the Old Harbour, and for the passengers in every such ship or other vessel, rates, duties, and tolls not exceeding the sums specified in the schedule thereunto annexed:

And whereas Sir Lawrence Palk, deceased, improved the Old Harbour accordingly:

And whereas the Old Harbour, and the land heretofore of Sir Lawrence Palk, deceased, within the limits thereof, and the works made by him there, and the rates, duties, and tolls granted by the Act of 1803, and the powers and privileges thereby granted, now are part of the settled estates late of Sir Lawrence Palk, deceased, whereof the present Sir Lawrence Palk, of Haldon House in the county of Devon, Baronet, is now the tenant for life in possession without impeachment of waste, with divers remainders over in strict settlement:

And whereas divers lands to which this Order relates also form part of those settled estates, and the pier, wharf, and other works by this Order authorized, when made, will also form part of those settled estates:

And whereas, under The General Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, and The General Pier and Harbour Act, 1861, Amendment Act, the present Sir Lawrence Palk, as promoter of the undertaking to which this Provisional Order relates, 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 the Board to grant a Provisional Order under those Acts, and thereby to constitute the promoter and others a harbour authority for the purposes of the Order, and to authorize him and them to make and maintain additional piers, wharves, and other works within the limits in that behalf of the Order, and to levy and recover rates, tolls, and duties, and in the Order to specify the terms mid conditions to be observed by the undertakers for the making, maintaining, and managing of the works, and to grant such other powers, privileges, and authorities as to the Board of Trade might seem fit:

And whereas the estimated expenditure on the proposed works is fifty-one thousand pounds, and no more:

And whereas the promoter published the advertisements and deposited the documents which by the last-mentioned Act he was 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 or 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—

That, from and immediately after the passing of an Act of Parliament confirming this Provisional Order, the following provisions shall take effect and be in force:

Undertakers.

1. The present Sir Lawrence Palk, Baronet, and other the person and persons from time to time entitled to the lands and works to which this Order relates, shall be the undertakers for the purposes of this Order, and shall have and may exercise the several powers, privileges, and authorities by this Order conferred on the undertakers, and may carry this Order in all respects into execution.

Power to take lands by agreement.

2. For the purposes of the works authorized, by this Order the undertakers from time to time, by agreement, may appropriate, or may enter upon and take and may use, such of the lands shown on the plans deposited for the purposes of this Order as they think expedient.

Incorporation of Lands Clauses Acts.

3. The Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, except so much thereof as relates to the purchase and taking of lands otherwise than by agreement, and The Lands Clauses Consolidation Acts Amendment Act, 1860, shall be incorporated with this Order.

Power to make works.

4. Subject to the provisions of this Order, the undertakers may execute, make, and maintain on the lands taken or appropriated by them for the purposes of this Order the works by this Order authorized, and, so far as the same are shown on the plans and sections deposited for the purposes of this Order, may make the same in the lines and in accordance with the levels shown on the deposited plans and sections respectively, or within the limits of lateral deviation shown on the deposited plans, and, as regards vertical deviation, within five feet from those levels.

Description of works.

5. The works which by this Order the undertakers are authorized to execute, make, and maintain comprise the following works, with all proper and sufficient quays, wharves, yards, warehouses, approaches, accessories, and incidental works and conveniences whatsoever; (that is to say,)

(2.) An extension of the present stone breakwater (situate on the east side of Beacon Hill) from its present termination to the Outer Millstone Rock, such extension to be one hundred and forty feet in length or thereabouts:

(3.) A wharf (for the storage of goods as well as for the loading and discharging of vessels) extending from the inner or northern end of the said present breakwater to the inner or eastern end of the proposed pier, the western portion thereof for a length of two hundred and fifty feet or thereabouts, and the eastern portion thereof for a length of three hundred and thirty feet or thereabouts, to be formed with a flat slope towards the harbour, and to be left open for the beaching of vessels or boats; the central portion for a length of six hundred and fifty feet or thereabouts, to be faced with timber framing, with a platform thereon, with proper fender piles, and to be made convenient for the loading and discharging of vessels.

Rates for new harbour.

9. With respect to the new harbour, from and after the completion of the pier or breakwater and extension of breakwater authorized by this Order (of which completion a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions shall be conclusive evidence, which certificate such Chairman shall sign on proof being adduced to him of such completion), the undertakers from time to time, may demand and take for or in respect of the vessels, persons, animals, fish, goods, and things described in the schedule to this Order any rates not exceeding the several sums in that behalf specified in that schedule.

Rates for Old Harbour.

10.

Provided always, as follows:

Pass tickets not transferable.

17. A pass ticket granted by the undertakers shall not be transferable, and shall not be used by any person other than the person for whom it is granted, or by any person after the period limited for its use.
