T&S Canal. The Committee wishes to lodge an objection to the proposed abandonment of the T&S Canal on the grounds that closing the canal would deprive the Stroudwater Navigation of a supply of water on which the Navigation entirely depends at certain times of the year to keep open its upper portion, apart from the loss of through traffic. The Committee also makes formal application for a warrant authorising the abandonment of and an order releasing the Company of proprietors from all liability to sustain and from all obligations relating to this Navigation.
