Document 12, Advice of Mr Wallace, 5th June 1782

16
It seems to me under the circumstances
stated highly improper – both in respect to Mr
Errington & to the County that the Bridge shod
be rebuilt but as the Agreemt with Mr Errington
has been confirmed by Act of Parliamt & the
Bridge thereby declared a Public Bridge & as
such to be supported [by?] the County after the
expiratn of Mr Erringtons obligats [??]
agreement which will expose the County to
prosecutions I think the only effectual measure
to be taken for the mutual benefit of Mr
Errington & the County is by another act
of parliamt discharging Mr Errington from
the performce of the Agreement upon such terms
as the justices assembled at a Genl Quarter
Sessions shall think reasonable & discharging
the County from the obligns of maintg a Bridge
imposed upon them by the act of parliament
Jas Wallace
5th June 1782
