In ascertaining the admeasurement of ships entering this port, the party whose duty it is, shall be guided by the directions contained in an act of the 6th of George IV. cap. 110, entitled, 'An Act for the Registering of British Vessels.'
This act is not to prejudice the right which Edward and Robert Trood, as proprietors and occupiers of Matford Limekilns, have heretofore exercised, of passing along the canal to and from the lower sluice and the above works, at all times, free of toll; nor is it to affect the persons who have hitherto enjoyed, (in right of their estates,) the privilege of landing articles for their private use; nor any rights, privileges, tolls, petty customs, duties, powers, or authorities of the mayor, bailiff, and commonalty of the city of Exeter, or any of their accustomed rights and privileges.
In addition to the duties before-mentioned, the following tonnage rates are payable for wares and merchandize, &c.
