1030 APPENDIX TO BRITISH CASE. 



to the Treasurer of the Province, or to any Deputy Treasurer at or 

 near the port or place where such vessel may arrive, who are hereby 

 severally authorized and required to demand and receive the same; 

 and upon the neglect or refusal of any Master or person having 

 charge, or of any Owner or Consignee of any such vessel so arriving 

 as aforesaid, to pay the duties imposed by this Act, the same shall be 

 recovered upon application to any one of His Majesty's Justices of 

 the Peace at or near the place where such neglect or refusal shall 

 take place, and levied by warrant of distress under the hand and seal 

 of such Justice and sale of the guns, boats, tackle, apparel and furni- 

 ture of such vessel, and the overplus (if any) after deducting costs of 

 such distress and sale shall be paid to the Master or person having 

 charge of such vessel. 



IV. And be it further enacted, That all vessels which are wholly 

 employed in the bay of Fundy, on either side thereof, as far southerly 

 as Cape Sable and including Grand Manan, whether belonging to 

 New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, shall be deemed coasters within the 

 meaning of this Act ; and all vessels which are generally employed in 

 fishing on any of the fishing grounds upon the coasts of the British 

 Provinces or Newfoundland, and when not so employed shall be 

 otherwise wholly employed within the said bay of Fundy, and the 

 limits prescribed for coasters, shall be deemed fishing vessels within 

 the meaning of this Act : Provided always, that all such vessels making 

 a voyage to any port or place without the said bay and limits aforesaid 

 shall, upon their arrival at any port or harbour in the said bay of 

 Fundy, from or after such voyage, be liable to the same duties as vessels 

 which are not deemed coasters or fishing vessels, and upon the payment 

 of such duty, agreeably to the tonnage of such vessel, the Master or per- 

 son having charge of such vessel may on payment of the annual duty 

 imposed upon coasters and fishing vessels receive a new coasting 

 receipt, which the Treasurer or Deputy Treasurer, as the case may be, 

 is hereby required to give ; which receipt shall excuse such vessel from 

 the payment of any further light duty until the first day of January 7 

 next following the date thereof, unless the said vessel shall again sail 

 beyond the limits prescribed for coasting and fishing vessels, in which 

 case such vessel shall upon her arrival again from without such limits 

 be again liable to the tonnage light duty, and may again, upon pay- 

 ment of the annual duty, resume her character as a coaster, and so on 

 as often as such cases may happen : Provided also, that no vessel shall 

 be deemed or taken to be a coasting or fishing vessel until the Master 

 or person having charge shall have paid the annual duty imposed by 

 this Act, and received a receipt for the same. 



V. And be it further enacted, That receipts given by the treasurer 

 or any deputy treasurer for the annual duty upon any coaster or fish- 

 ing vessel, which receipt the said treasurer or deputy treasurer is 

 hereby required to give, shall exempt such vessel from the payment 

 of any further duty (except when such vessel shall have sailed beyond 

 the limits prescribed for coasters and fishing vessels) until the first 

 day of January following, after which date they shall be liable, upon 

 their first arrival at any port or place within the Bay of Fundy, to 

 the payment of the annual duty imposed in and by the second section 

 of this Act.
