Workmen,
&c. constantly
employed
in any such
Work, (not
exceeding 80
in Number)
to be Levy-free
for four
Years. |
IV. And forasmuch
as for the carrying on so considerable a Work, it will
be absolutely necessary for the Undertakers to import, or otherwise
retain in
their Service, great Numbers of experienced Work-men, and that they must
unavoidably be at vast Expences before they can bring such Work to any
tolerable
Perfection, so as to reap any Benefit therefrom; For their better Encouragement,
Be it Enacted, That all such Work-men,
or Labourers, as
shall be by such Undertakers constantly employed in the carrying on such
useful
and beneficial Works, shall be exempt from the Paying of Levies for the
first Four Years after their being employed in such Work as aforesaid:
Provided,
That the Number of such Work-men as shall be Levy-free, exceed
not Eighty for any one Iron-Work.
V. Provided nevertheless,
That in case such Undertakers shall not prosecute
such Iron-Work to the Running of Pigs fit for Transportation, within
Seven Years next after their being seized of such Lands, by virtue of such
Writ, in Manner aforesaid, that then it shall and may be lawful for the
Person
or Persons that were disseized of such Land by virtue of such Writ, to
re-enter upon ad be re-instated in the same, to all Intents and Purposes,
as
if such Writ had never been obtained, without being obliged to return any
Part of Purchase-Money for the same.
