"H. M. F.

"Fundamen ut essem Domus In Agro Natali Extruendae, Robertus ille Walpole Quem nulla nesciet Posteritas:

Faxit Dues.

"Postquam Maturus Annis Dominus. Diu Laetatus fuerit absoluta Incolumem tueantur Incolames. Ad Summam omnium Diem Et nati natorum et qui nascentur ab illis.

The true state of that case stands thus:

"(1) The clause taken from the Act of Parliament establishing the extent of the Port of London, and published in some of the books of rates, is this:

"'To prevent all future differences and disputes touching the extent and limits of the Port of London, the said port is declared to extend, and be accounted from the promontory or point called the North Foreland in the Isle of Thanet, and from thence northward in a right line to the point called the Naze, beyond the Gunfleet upon the coast of Essex, and so continued westward throughout the river Thames, and the several channels, streams, and rivers falling into it, to London Bridge, saving the usual and known rights, liberties, and privileges of the ports of Sandwich and Ipswich, and either of them, and the known members thereof, and of the customers, comptrollers, searchers, and their deputies, of and within the said ports of Sandwich and Ipswich and the several creeks, harbours, and havens to them, or either of them, respectively belonging, within the counties of Kent and Essex.'
