An Act to amend an Act passed in Ireland in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Years
of his present Majesty for empowering Grand Juries to present Bridges, and
Tolls to be paid for passing the same, in certain cases.{1} [2nd July 1813]
Recital of Irish Act 177980 c.41.
WHEREAS an Act was made in the Parliament of Ireland holden in the nineteenth
and twentieth years of his present Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act for
empowering grand juries to present bridges, and tolls to be paid for passing
the same, in certain cases", and doubts have been entertained whether lifting
or portcullis bridges are within the intent and meaning of the said Act; and
whether if such lifting or portcullis bridges could by law be built or erected
and maintained pursuant to the provisions of the said recited Act, the persons
undertaking or erecting any such bridge or bridges, their heirs, executors,
administrators, or assigns, can by law be compelled to keep the navigation of
any river whereon such bridge or bridges should be erected free and
uninterrupted for ever, and to keep as well the lifting parts or portcullises
of such bridge or bridges, as the whole of such bridge or bridges in good and
sufficient order, repair, and condition, with proper attendants thereon at
their own proper costs, so as to permit ships, vessels, and boats at all times
to pass there through, and not to suffer such bridge or bridges, portcullis or
lifting bridge, or any part of the same respectively by neglect to run into
ruin and decay, and thereby to impede or stop up the passage of such bridge or
bridges, or the navigation of any such bridge, or by means thereof to compel
the publick to consent that the lifting or portcullis of such bridge or
bridges may be removed, and the space over which the same might be erected or
made filled up or become solid: the said recited Act and all the provisions
therein contained shall extend and be deemed and construed to extend to all
and every bridge or bridges having any portcullis or lifting parts as have
heretofore been built or proposed to be built or shall hereafter be built or
proposed to be built under the provisions of the said recited Act; and that
all persons building or proposing to build any such bridge or bridges having
any portcullis or lifting part shall and may avail themselves of all powers
and benefits to arise by or from the same Act, and shall be subject to all
clauses and conditions of the said Act, as fully and effectually as if the
term and description of portcullis or lifting bridge or bridges, or bridge or
bridges having any portcullis or lifting parts had been expressly named and
inserted in the said Act.
