Brighton (England) -- History
and explained in a separate instrument, to be drawn up in a proper
legal form by a Solicitor.
The situation in all respects most suitable both for the convenience
of the public and the interest of the Brighton Pier Company, is
opposite the East Parade of the Old Steyne, and as T. R. Kemp, Esq.,
and C. S. Dickens, Esq., have, in the most liberal and handsome
manner, which must lay, not only the proprietors of the Pier, but the
whole community, under lasting obligations, granted a sufficient
space of ground for forming the Pier, and relinquished all their
manorial rights, it will not be necessary to apply for an Act of
Parliament for authority to levy and collect a toll, or pontage in
the Pier, because the beach is free for landing and embarking in
boats as heretofore, and it becomes perfectly voluntary or optional
to enter upon and pay for the accommodation of the Pier.
It is intended that the platform shall be horizontal with the East
Parade, and extend in the same direction out to sea—as there can be
no doubt that the Pier would become a place of fashionable resort,
great emoluments would be derived from this source alone,—independent
of this, would be the specific revenue secured by a lease to be paid
by the Proprietors of the Steam-Packets, and as it is one of the
objects of the Pier to permit the shipment of carriages and horses,
under certain regulations consistent with the convenience of
visitors, a considerable sum will be raised by this means.
