Notwithstanding What Is Above Written, The Port Of London, As
In Use Since The Said Order, Is Understood To Reach No Farther Than
Gravesend In Kent And Tilbury Point In Essex, And The Ports Of
Rochester, Milton, And Faversham Belong To The Port Of Sandwich.
"In like manner the ports of Harwich, Colchester, Wivenhoe, Malden,
Leigh, etc., are said to be members of the port of Ipswich."
This observation may suffice for what is needful to be said upon
the same subject when I may come to speak of the port of Sandwich
and its members and their privileges with respect to Rochester,
Milton, Faversham, etc., in my circuit through the county of Kent.
