The continuation of an act first passed in 1818 pertaining the acquiring of licenses by shop keepers and the duties imposed on these shop licenses, with amendments and additions of clauses pertaining to the selling of liquor.

This act incorporates the Welland Canal Company, empowering them to sell and trade their stocks, explore and survey the area between the Welland river and Lake Ontario in order to construct a canal between the two, and to use any brooks, streams, or any other watercourses in order to supply the canal with water. It also permits the company various levels of use over both private and public land.
This act provides for the building of a canal between Burlington Bay and Lake Ontario, to be paid for by the payment of a toll by those who navigate said canal.
This act continues an act passed in 1822 which made plans to survey the potential routes for a canal system running from Lake Erie to the eastern border of Upper Canada. It grants a further sum of one thousand pounds, and calls for a survey to be done in Presqu'ile Harbour and at the head of the bay of Quinte in order to connect the two by a navigable canal.
This act repeals an act passed in 1804 and passes a new clause which stipulates that the printer of the journals of the Legislative Assembly will forward the bill and be reimbursed the costs, rather than being allotted a pre-determined budget.
