The proprietors having not only expended the sums directed to be raised under this act, but also contracted a debt of £14,000 without completing the work; they made another application to parliament and obtained a second act in 1797, entitled, 'An Act for enabling the Company of Proprietors of the Leicester Navigation to finish and complete their several Works, and to discharge the Debts contracted in the making thereof, and for amending an Act passed in the Thirty-first of his present Majesty,for making the said Navigation, and several other Works, in such Act mentioned.' By this second act they are enabled to raise a further sum of £18,000, by an additional call on the shareholders, or by mortgage or annuities as may seem best; and as it appears that some of the proprietors had voluntarily advanced £5 per share for the purpose of making a reservoir on Charnwood Forest, it is provided by this act that such advance shall be accounted as part of their calls for raising the additional sum of £18,000; and if it should be deemed expedient not to call for an advance on the original shares, but to borrow the £18,000, then the £5 per share advanced by the proprietors as above shall be repaid them. The company are also to collect the following
