Brindley's Grand Trunk line was intended to join the Duke of Bridge- water's canal at Preston-on-the-Hil], not far from Eun- corn. As the Duke was desirous of placing his naviga- tion in connection with the Cheshire Wiches and the Staffordshire Potteries, and already had been at the expense of making a preliminary survey, he at once threw the whole weight of liis support on the side of Brindley's Grand Trunk Canal. The owners of the Eiver Weaver Navigation Company were the principal opponents o...f the measure. They H 98 Josiah Wedgwood chap. held that the new scheme would place a monopoly of the Cheshire and Staffordshire traffic in the hands of the Dake ; though they concealed the fact that their opposition to the Grand Trunk would continue their own monopoly in the hands of the Eiver Weaver Canal Company, whose navigation, so far as it went, was tedious, irregular, and expensive. Both parties mus- tered their forces for a Parliamentary struggle. Wedg- wood, with his usual enthusiasm, entered the lists as a pamphleteer, and in conjunction with Bentley of Liverpool, afterwards his partner, published an able statement, showing the advantages likely to be derived from the construction of the proposed new canal.
