Brighton (England) -- History
It is not intended that Merchant’s ships should load or discharge
their cargoes at the Pier, and no fish to be landed unless under
particular circumstances to be judged by the Pier-Master;—but as
great advantages must be derived to the Town, and Proprietors of the
Pier, from the traffic in fruit, eggs, &c. &c. with France,
small-craft and boats are to be permitted to come alongside, by
paying certain dues for the vessels, and a certain rate upon their
goods, the amount of which will be fixed by the Committee of
Management; pleasure-boats, and boats hired for pleasure, are to pay
certain dues for laying alongside the Pier, and a further rate for
the company landing from or embarking on board them, and the shore
boats belonging to the Town of Brighton and others, which are in the
constant practice of using the beach, whether owned in the town or
not, are to be permitted to land passengers, who are to pay the usual
rate for landing on the Pier; but the boats before-mentioned are to
be exempted from paying any dues for _coming_ alongside, and the crew
are to be allowed to land without any charge being made: but such
boats are not to continue at the Pier longer than is necessary to
land or take on board passengers or pleasure parties, and are to be
subject to the orders of the Pier-Master, in regard to the length of
time to be allowed for this purpose, and this permission alluded to
is not to be considered as an abandonment of the right of the Pier
Company to charge boats of the above description the usual Pier dues,
but as a favor and preference given to the fishermen and boatmen
belonging to the Town of Brighton and its dependencies.
