JAMES LITTLE, _Agent_, _Greenock_,
“THE MAJESTIC.”]
THE BRITISH AND IRISH COMPANY, ETC.
In 1836 the British and Irish Steam Packet Company was inaugurated. A
copy of an old sailing bill of that year makes curious reading. Its
reference to the “legal quays” is also interesting as reminding us of a
condition of affairs which has now passed away. The “legal quays” were
those reserved by the Government for the cross-channel mail steamers,
and also those at which special facilities were given to encourage
subsidised lines.
