AT a Meeting of the Proprietors, and their Representatives, of the different Estates in the Canal, dug from the bank of the river between Kingston and Cumingsburg, to the Plantation Cumings Lodge, especially convened by the Commissaries, for the purpose of taking into consideration some late claims of individuals to navigate and make use of said Canal, independent of the Proprietors of the different Estates; the following Resolutions were unanimously entered into, viz: -
1st. Resolved - that the sole and exclusive property of this Canal is vested only in the Proprietors of the different Estates, from Cumings Lodge downwards, they having been at the original expense of purchasing the Canal and digging the Canal, as well as keeping the same in navigable order, and paying all the subsequent expences of Bridges, &c. &c.
2d. Resolved - That all passes hitherto granted by any of the Proprietors, or their Representatives, for the purpose of cutting grass, are hereby cancelled and made void.
3d. Resolved - That we hereby pledge ourselves mutually to each other, to give no written or verbal permission to any individual whatever, for the space of one year from this date; and that if any permission should be given, it shall null and void for the time above-mentioned, and as much longer as any man or body of men may pretend an exclusive right, independent of the owners of the different Estates.
4th. Resolved - That all Proprietors still retain the privilege of accommodating their friends in the front of their Estates, these Resolutions having principally as their object the stopping of strange Negroes from annoying the Estates by the Canal.
5th. Resolved - That one week be allowed for informing the Public of these Resolutions, and that the existing regulations of the last and preceding Meetings are still to remain in full force.
6th. Resolved - That these Resolutions be printed in both Gazettes, and that our signatures shall accompany them. Demerary, 30th August, 1811.
