provided Commissioners for the whole of the parishes of All Saints and St. Clement's and the inbounds of St. Mary-in-the-Castle. It also prohibited the revival of any portion of a still earlier Act, under Commissioners were ordained for St. Clement's only. The new Act next sets forth the sums of money borrowed, paid off, and still owing by the three parishes as follows:-
Borrowed by St. Clement's £4,550, of which £3,000 was unpaid; borrowed by All Saint, £1,900, of which £1,300 was still due; and borrowed by St. Mary-in-the-Castle £1,550, of which sum £1,000 had still to be paid off. Thus the whole of the borrowed money amounted to £8,000, and the combined remaining debt was £5,300. There was also £600 out of £1,500 borrowed by St. Clement's Commissioners under their own exclusive Act of a date before 1820 to be paid off. It was therefore enacted that all existing arrangements for collecting moneys, for paying off the said debts, according to original contracts, were to remain in force; also that the officers employed under the previous Act were to hold their situations according to agreement. But the new Act purported to give enlarged powers, not only for paving, lighting, watching &c. but also for removing projections, obstructions and encroachments; also for constructing groins(sic) and walls against encroachments of the sea; for building a new market-place, and for a better supply of water from the Bourne and other sources.
