wall. It was this state of things, and the gigantic system of robbery which prevailed on the river, which led to the Parliamentary inquiry into the Port of London in 1797 — the evidence collected containing much valuable and most interesting in- formation — which resulted in the incorporation of the first dock company (the West India), whose do...cks were opened 1802. This and the subsequent development of dock accommodation immensely increased the trade of the port, which, previously to the West India Docks being opened, was thought to have attained the limit which the provision at that time admitted. Up to the year 1840 the home trade of the port was of far greater magnitude than the foreign, and it was not until i860 that the latter began to constitute the greater part of the trade of the port; now it is nearly double the home trade, and it is gratifying to observe that the proportion of British ships and tonnage engaged in it are yearly increasing in a much greater proportion than the foreign ships and tonnage.
