Edmond Knapp to carry out his quay more Southerly upon the North Strand, it was considered that tho river was there so broad that the quay would be no obstruction, and to prevent any such thing which might happen by any future quays which might be built to the westward of said Knapp's quay, It was ordered, that a line should be strained from the south west coyne of said Knapp's quay to the South East Corner of the house at the ferry place where Dennis Murphy formerly lived, aud none to be admitted to be built more Southerly or further westerly than the west corner of the cellar belonging to Mr. John Carleton, Now as Mr. .Ambrose Lynch, l!r. Thos. Coppinger, and Mrs. Eliz. Honohan, without leave, have built quays into the river upon the strand, southwards of their respective holdings, It is ordered, that a line be drawn from the said two coynes of Ald. Knapp's quay and Murphy's house by the Water-bayliff of this City, and notice thereof given to Lynch, Coppingt!r, and Honohan, who are required within two months to reduce their quays to the bounds aforesaid, and if they refuse, the quay or quays to be de- molished by the Corporation. That Mr. Edwd. Browne and Mr. Will }!asters be joined with Alden. Knapp and Hoare in examining the encroachments made by John Haman on the north river, and also the foundations of the old wall of the quay built by Ald. Will. Roberts, dec., or Sir Richard Kyrle, and that to be insisted on as the bounds of the river.
