| Bridge in Question was take away | ||||
| as well from want of proper Foundation | ||||
| as from Colateral Causes, but that | ||||
| the Arches thereof were not filled with | ||||
| Water | ||||
| That no hold by piles was taken | ||||
| of the Stratum whereon the Foundation | ||||
| was laid | ||||
| Mr Donkin can prove that Gullies | ||||
| were made in the Bed of the River | ||||
| before the Flood which by not being | ||||
| filled up might occasion the Fall of the | ||||
| Bridge and not the weakness of the | ||||
| Stratum | ||||
| Mr Heron will prove what is here | ||||
| stated to have passed at the Midsummer | ||||
| Sessions and of the Justices telling | ||||
| him and Mr Errington they could give | ||||
| no Relief or Accept any Thing in | ||||
| lieu of rebuilding the Bridge without | ||||
| the Authority of parliament | ||||
