the Bench umlerenod Mr. Steggall. the wording of the Act on

according to the twister." Upon this point there was some
dittennsve of opinion in the minds of the Bench —aa to what the
.....-svrSsour" meant—whether it embrace. from St Alban'.
Haut to Bums. Bradstoek, or whether the harbour Iles within
the limit. of the Weymouth piers. As for as he (the Mayor)
wan peremully concerned, he WY strongly of opinion that the
word "harbour' taking the whole of the context together,

In giving the derision of the Bench, they oon.idered that

it was immaterial whether the vessel mine Into the

fully conoderesl that the harbour dues being taken
