Dock Companies Seek Expanded Rates in London Trade
The Dock Companies push to extend powers to levy charges on lighters and craft using the docks and on goods moved in and out of private wharfs and warehouses. The Association for the Protection of the Trade opposes the plan, calling it a conspiratorial move against the port’s commercial interests. The controversy centers on whether such charges are justified under existing acts and regulations shaping London trade.

London Dock Companies Plot to Defend Monopoly
A lengthy critique argues that three major Dock Companies colluded to secure monopolies at the Port of London, undermining free trade. It cites rising dock stock values, differential warehousing charges, and proposed taxes to push goods out of docks. A Commons petition by bankers and traders voiced outrage at the scheme.
