VIERSEY CONSERVANCY DOCK J3ILL•
PETITION AGAINST THE BILL.
TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS SPIRITUAL AND

TEMPORAL IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED;

The Humble Petition of the tmderstned Merchants, Bankers,
Tradesmen, and other Inhabitants of the Borough of
Liverpool,
_ _

,
Sheweth,—That a Bill has been introduced into your Right Honour-
able House, entit ded "An Acs for Consolidating the Docks at Liver-
pool and Birkenhead into one Estate, and for Vesting the Control
and Management of them in one Public Trust and for other pts poses."
That it is proposed by the sate bill to divest the Corporation of the
said Borough, and the Members of the Council thereof, fr. m .11 con-
trol over the management of the Docks at Liverpool and Birkenhead,
and to vest such docks and the management thereof in a board to be
elected un ler the provisious of the bill, of which board three mem-
bers are to be elected by the Conservators of the River Mersey, being
great officers of state, members of her Majesty's Government tor the
time being, and e gtteen by she Deck Rata-payers.
That your petitioners object to that constitution of a board for the
management of the great Liverpool Dock Estate, as it introduces, for
the first time in the history of th st estate, the principle of Governm nt
.nfluence therein, and is, as your petitioners believe, the first step
towards the future extension of that influence, in opposition o the
great principle of local szlf-gc,vernment und, r which local affairs in
this country have hitherto been conducted and managed.
That the progress and prosperity of the port of Liverpool has been
altcgether unexampled, and is to be attributed to the energy and
forethought of the local management under which it has risen to its
present greatness.
Teat there is no allegation in the bill of mal-administration breach
of trust, or want of proper forethought and attention on the part of
those to whem is, under the present law, confided the management
of the Liverpool Dock Estate, and your petitioners therefore urge
upon your Right Honouratee House the inexpediency and non-
necessity of any alteration therein.
That it is also proposed by the said bill to vest in the new board to
be created thereby the Town Dues and Anchorage payable by law to
the Corporation of Liverpool in trust for the inhabitants of the borough,
and that without any compensation or equivalent a proposal m at
unjar, i asmuch as the right to levy such dues wan acquired by
purchase; and if such proposal be sanctioned by your Hight Honour-
able House, there will be no security for the continued enjoyment of
municipal property of any description.
That the said Town Di,es and other muni ipal revenues of the
borough have lc- el at all irises wisely and judiciously expended. on
objects beneficial to the trade and commerce of the pert, as wet as to
the inhabitants of the borough.
That a large debt has been lawfully contracted on the credit of the
municipal property of the borough for the purpose of carrying out
such objects ; and alt ough it is proposed by the said bill to divert
the sad Town Dues, which form the tar est portion of the corporate
income, to other purposes, yet the bill would leave the remaining
corporate property saddled with a large por,ion of the debt contracted
for such object as aforesaid under the authority of the law, and
on the faith of the continued enjoyment of all the property of the
municipality.
That the effect of the bill woull thus be to throw upon your
petitioners, in respect of such del,t, by retrospective operation,
burthens in rates whereby the va -tie of property in the borough wou d
be depreciated to a serious extent.
Treat your petitioners humbly submit that it is unjust to apply the
principles of a bill to one borough, and to legislate upon such
important matters by a private bill, but that the pr.nciples of the bill
in relation to municipal property, if discussed in Parliament at al*,
should be discus-ed. in relation to a public measure, upon which alt
municipal and other corporations, affected directly or indirectly,
might have the opportunity of ene heard.
Your Petitioners therefore most humbly pray your Right Honour-
able House that tire s rid Bill may not pass into a law.
