105. And whereas by an Act passed in the Parliament of Ireland in the fortieth year of the reign of his Majesty King George the Third, intituled “An Act for granting to his Majesty the sum of five hundred thousand pounds, for promoting inland navigation in Ireland, and for other purposes therein mentioned, and for authorizing the raising the said sum by loan,” which Act was amended by two other Acts of the fifty-third and fifty-sixth years of the reign of his said Majesty King George the Third, the lord lieutenant of Ireland was authorized to appoint five persons to be directors of all works relating to inland navigation; and it is expedient that the powers thereby given to the said directors, and all property, estate, and effects by them acquired or possessed, should be vested in and transferred to the commissioners for the execution of this Act: Be it therefore enacted, that all the powers given to and authorised to be exercised by the directors appointed in pursuance to the said Act of the fortieth year of the reign of King George the Third, or any other Act or Acts now in force, and all property, estates, and effects, and all tolls or funds, and all rights, claims, titles, and possessions, of what nature or kind soever, of or belonging or in any manner appertaining to or enjoyed by the said directors, shall, from and after the appointment of the commissioners for the execution of this Act, be transferred to and vested in the said commissioners for the execution of this Act, and the said commissioners shall have all such powers and authorities as in anywise belonged to or might have been exercised by the said directors previous to the passing of this Act, and be and be deemed and considered to be to all intents and purposes in the place of such directors of inland navigation.
