2 giug 1810 anni - 1810 Act, 50 George III, c. cxlviii (148)

Descrizione:

Contained a small number of clauses concerning money, and a much more important clause altering conditions for the carriage of coal on the River Thames.[1] When the 1795 Act was passed, there had been opposition from merchants who brought coal by sea to London, and they had instigated a clause in the Act banning the carriage of coal which had been conveyed by canal boats below Reading. The new Act repealed this ban, moving the City coal limits to Staines, despite serious opposition from ship owners and the proprietors of collieries in the north-east of England. [2]
