Company may sue and be sued as carriers, and may prefer indictments.

5. Any canal or navigation company exercising the powers by this Act granted
shall have all the same powers and remedies for recovering any sum or sums of
money which shall or may become due and owing to such company as carriers, or
for the use of any boats or vessels, or for the supply of any haulage,
trackage, or other power, by virtue of this Act, as are given to them
respectively by their said several Acts of Parliament in reference to the
tolls and duties thereby made payable, or they may, at their option, sue for
and recover such charges, or any part thereof, in any of the superior courts;
and such company may in like manner be sued for any loss sustained by any
person or persons employing the said company as carriers, or for any neglect
or misconduct of such company or their servants in respect of their conduct as
carriers by virtue of this Act; and such company may prosecute any indictment
or other proceeding at law in respect of any offence arising or being
committed in the course of such carrying or other proceeding under this Act;
