Whereas an Act of Parliament made and passed in the Third Year of the Reign of his late Majesty King George the Second Entitled An Act for making Navigable the River Stroud Water in the County of Gloucester from the River Severn at or near Framiload to Walbridge near the Town of Stroud in the same County Certain Persons therein named their Heirs, Assigns or Nominees were authorized and Impowered at their proper costs and charges to make the said River called Stroud-water navigable by the Ways and Means in the said Act particularly mentioned In which said Act there is a provisoe That in Case the said Undertakers their Heirs Assigns or Nominees should not begin the said undertaking on or before the twenty fourth day of June One Thousand Seven hundred and thirty two and finish the same in making the said River Stroud-water Navigable according to the Intent and Meaning of the said act on or before the twenty fourth day of June One Thousand Seven hundred and Forty That then and immediately after the said Twenty fourth day of June One Thousand Seven hundred and Forty it should and might be lawful to and for the said Commissioners or any thirteen of them to appoint such other persons to do the same as they should think fit which said Person or Persons so nominated and appointed should from the Time of such Nomination and Appointment have the same Powers Authorities Rights Privileges and Interests for making the same River Navigable and doing all the Things necessary thereto as the said Undertakers could or might do by Virtue of the said Act And immediately from and after such Nomination and Appointment All and every Act Powers Authorities Rights Privileges and Interests of the said Undertakers their Heirs Assigns and Nominees should cease determine and be utterly void And Whereas the said undertakers their Heirs Assigns or Nominees did not compleat their said undertaking Whereupon at a General Meeting of the Commissioners held by adjournment on the fourth Day of August One Thousand Seven hundred and fifty eight proposals were then made by John Kemmett, Arthur Wynde, James Pinnock and Thomas Bridge for the purpose of carrying the Act into Execution by Franco and other Marines without Locks which proposals were accepted by a sufficient Number of the Commissioners then present and they were accordingly Nominated and Appointed Undertakers in as full a manner as the first Undertakers in the said Act mentioned were impowered to be Which Nomination and Appointment was afterwards Confirmed By an Act of Parliament made and passed in the Thirty second year of the reign of his said late Majesty King George the Second Intitled An Act to amend and explain an Act made in the third year of his present Majesty’s Reign Entitled An Act for making navigable the River Stroudwater in the County of Gloucester from the River Severn at or near Framiload to Walbridge in the town of Stroud in the same county In which said last mentioned Act there is also a Provisoe That in Case the said Undertakers their Heirs Assigns and Nominees should not begin the said undertaking on or before the twenty fifth Day of September One Thousand Seven hundred and fifty nine and finish the same in Manner therein mentioned on or before the twenty ninth Day of September One Thousand Seven hundred and sixty one the Powers and Authorities thereby vested in them should cease and determine And all the Lands, Engines and Marines by them purchased created and made for the purpose of the said Navigation should be forfeited to the said Commissioners appointed by the former Act And the said Commissioners or any thirteen or more of them were thereby impowered to Grant and Convey such Lands Engines and Marines to any other Person or Persons who should be willing to compleat the said undertaking and such Person or Persons from the time of such Grant or Conveyance should be possessed of all such Powers and Advantages as are thereby Granted to

the said twenty ninth day of September One thousand seven hundred and sixty one for finishing such undertaking as the said Commissioners or any thirteen or more of them at a Publick Meeting should judge to be reasonable It is also Provided that nothing therein contained should prevent the said Commissioners or any thirteen or more of them after such forfeiture By the said last mentioned Undertakers their Heirs Assigns or Nominees from appointing any other Person or Persons to make the said River Navigable in the Manner intended By the said former Act in such Manner as might have been done in case the said last Act had not been made And Whereas the Undertakers appointed by the last Act begun to make the said River Navigable and proceeded therein but never compleated the same not
