The Heads of a Bill for the settling of the River WEY in the County of SURREY , and for the Composing the Differences concerning the same .

I. THe scope of the Bill is to settle the Navigation of the River Wey , in Trustees of Quality and Reputation of the County of Surrey , for the Preservation of a Work of so publick a Benefit from further decay , for want of due and speedy Reparation ; which hath often been occasioned by the Controversies of the several Pretenders , and the sudden Eruptions of Waters , which do quickly eat great and chargeable Breaches , scarce repairable , if not prevented by some , impowered by Parliament to take care thereof , dwelling upon or near the Place .

II. That the Justices of the Peace of the said County , or some five of them , may determine all Trespasses , Suits , and Differences , arising concerning the said River , with less Charge to the Inhabitants or Pretenders and with more speed , in regard the Dammage may be easily viewed by the said Justices , when impowered to do the same , they being nigh Neighbours thereto .

III. To prevent unreasonable Rates , that the Countrey be not prejudiced in that particular .

IV. That the Land Owners may enjoy the improvement of their Lands and Estates , according to the Laws of the Land : This River being Cut through their Lands , to their great Dammage , without any Authority but a Rump Act , and the Equity of that Act not having been pursued neither , for most of them were never Contracted with ; and if any Agreements were made , the same were never perfected ; and yet the Bill provides , That such Undertakers ( though in truth but Trespassers ) shall be reimbursed , such Money as they can make appear they are justly out of Purse , by reason of such Undertaking
