Gaslight Bill for Dublin City Lighting Act Proclaimed
The document outlines a bill to empower Dublin Commissioners to light the city with inflammable air or gas from coal. It covers production, piping, and sale of gas, jurisdiction to light streets and buildings, and powers to lease lands, hire staff, collect rates, and enforce penalties for misuse or damage. It references acts from the 47th and 54th years of the king’s reign and sets oversight by the Lord Lieutenant and Ireland’s public accounts.
