aforesaid. And whereas, it is therefore expedient to charge upon 

 both the above classes of Vessels a specific and certain duty in lieu 

 of all other duties by the said Act payable : 



I. Be it therefore enacted, by the Lieutenant-Governor, Council 

 and Assembly, That every Vessel owned and registered in this Prov- 

 ince, of the Registered Burthen of seventy-five tons, or less than 

 seventy-five tons, which shall be partly employed in the Coasting 

 Trade of this Province, or in the Fishery, and partly in the Trade 

 between this Province and the Island of Newfoundland, and every 

 Vessel so owned and Registered in this Province, and of the burthen 

 of seventy-five tons, or less than seventy-five tons, as aforesaid, and 

 which shall be partly engaged in such Coasting Trade or Fishery, 

 and partly in the Trade from this Province to any Port or Ports 

 in the United States of America, between Mount Desert and Cape 



Cod, or which may be wholly engaged in such last mentioned 

 617 Trade, shall pay an annual duty of Forty Shillings and no 



more, to be paid, levied, secured and recovered, at the time, in 

 the manner, by the same ways and means, and under the same liabili- 

 ties, forfeitures and penalties, as the duty imposed by the Act here- 

 inbefore referred to, upon Coasting or Fishing Vessels, is thereby 

 directed to be paid, levied, secured and recovered. Provided always, 

 that in every case where a Vessel shall have paid duty as a Coasting 

 or Fishing Vessel, as by the said Act is directed, and shall after- 

 wards become liable to duty under this Act in the same year, then 

 such Vessel shall only be required and compelled to pay the differ- 

 ence between the duty already paid by said Vessels, and the duty by 

 this Act imposed thereon. 



II. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall continue and 

 be in force for one year from the passing hereof, and from thence 

 to the end of the then next Session of the General Assembly.
