LIVERPOOL DOCKS.
LIGHTHOUSES, FLOATING LIGHTS, BUOYS, &c.
I.T having been reported to the Dock Committee that da-
mage is frequently done to the Rock Lighthouse by
Masters of Flats and other Craft attempting to pass between
it mid the Fort. ; that the Floating Lights have sustained con-
siderable injury, besides the risk of being driven from their
stations or sunk, by being run foul of through the careless-
ness of Masters of Vessels or other Persons having the com-
mand ' and that many of the Buoys are perforated with balls,
thereby causing them to sink, or are otherwise injured by
persons firing at birds perched upon them ; that they are
often run foul of, sunk, or dragged away from their moorings
by Steam and other Vessels, also by Flats and other Craft
making fast thereto,
.thereby occasioning great damage, and
endangering the navigation into and out of the port :
Now, the Committee DO HEREBY GIVE NOTICE
that they will cause all persons so offending and damaging
any of the Lighthouses, Floating Lights, Buoys, Landmarks,
or other works, belonging to them, to be PROSECUTED
to the utmost extent and rigour of the law. And they do
also hereby offer a REWARD of TEN POUNDS to any
person or persons who will give such information as shall
lead to the Conviction of the Offender or Offenders.
By order,
DANIEL MASON, Secretary.
