| Description | The agent of the Eagle Furnace Compay of Stourbridge had refused to pay shoredues on pipes landed at the harbour owing to their belief that the pipes were to be used in public works. The harbour board considered this, disagreed with the refusal, and denied access to the pipes in order to enforce payment. The second letter expands on the implications of the refusal of payment of the papies shoredues from Hull, noting that the commissioners of police were not exempt from payment. |
