This canal is upon the same level with the Warwick and Birmingham Canal at their junction at Budbrook, and is entitled to the waste water of that canal; but from thence to its junction with the Oxford Canal it rises 134½ feet.
The last act of parliament obtained by this company was passed in 1809, and is entitled,' An Act for amending, altering and enlarging the Powers of the several Acts relating to the Warwick and Napton Canal Navigation.' Its principal clause is explaining one in a former act, respecting vessels under twenty tons passing any of the locks, and providing that such vessels may pass them at all times on paying for twenty tons.
By executing this short canal from Warwick to Napton, another and a shorter line of communication is opened between London and Birmingham; besides affording a more direct conveyance for coal to supply the demands of the country connected with the Oxford and Grand Junction Canals, and the River Thames, to the great advantage of many large towns, as well as to the trade carried on between London and Birmingham.
