No. 50. 1793: Statute of New Brunswick 33 Geo. IIL Cap. 4. 



An Act to explain and amend an Act, intituled, "An Act to provide for the 

 support of a Light-House to be built upon Partridge Island." 



Whereas in and by an Act made and passed in the twenty-eighth 

 year of His Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act to provide for the 

 support of a light-house to be built upon Partridge-" Island," it is 

 among other things enacted that no vessel shall be deemed a coaster 

 within the meaning of that Act, excepting such as shall be wholly 

 employed within the Bay of Fundy. And whereas doubts have 

 arisen, whether vessels that are employed during the whole of the 

 summer season within the Bay of Fundy, but which during the 

 winter season, when there is no employment for them in the Bay 

 of Fundy, occasionally make a voyage to any port without the 

 594 said Bay, are to be considered and deemed as coasters within 

 the meaning of the said Act, and also whether vessels wholly 

 employed within the said Bay and in passing and re-passing between 

 the ports and places belonging to this province within the said bay, 

 and the ports and places belonging to the province of Nova-Scotia 

 within the said bay, are to be considered and deemed as coasters 

 within the meaning of the said Act: And also, whether vessels gen- 

 erally employed in fishing, but occasionally for other purposes, are 

 to be considered and deemed as fishing vessels within the meaning 

 of the said Act, for preventing and removing all such doubts in 

 future 



Be it enacted by the Lieutenant-Governor, Council and Assembly, 

 That from and after the passing of this Act, all vessels of the several 

 and respective descriptions herein before recited and contained, 

 shall be deemed as coasters or fishermen respectively within the 

 meaning of the said herein before recited Act, and shall be liable 

 to the payment only of the duty required to be paid by coasting and 

 fishing vessels respectively in and by the said Act, any thing in the 

 said herein before recited Act to the contrary notwithstanding. 

 Provided always, That all such vessels, when they make any voyage 

 to any port or place without the said bay, shall upon their arrival 

 from such voyage within the harbour of Saint John, be liable to the 

 same duties as if they were not deemed to be coasters or fishing ves- 

 sels within the meaning of the said Act, any thing herein before con- 

 tained to the contrary notwithstanding.
