Act for regulating and augmenting the Dues payable to the Pubilic Metters, at the Shore
This Act of Aberdeen's town council regards the regulation of dues payable to 'metters' - seemingly council employed officials that work with goods coming through the port. The Act dates to 3rd July 1797.

A council commissioned committee surveyed the operation of Aberdeen's Lime and Coal Metters. Having conducted a year long survey on dues from 'Grain, Meal, Coals, Cinders, Bark and Salt' coming by way of the shore, the committee recommended that the metters should receive a pay rise. This was unanimously agreed by the council.

The text is appended by Alex R. Carnegie, likely a council clerk.
