 missioners, or of any penalty imposed by the said Justice or Justices, 

 shall exceed twelve dollars, any party feeling himself aggrieved may 

 appeal from the judgment of such commissioners or from the con- 

 viction of such Justice or Justices to the Supreme Court upon giv- 

 ing sufficient security to prosecute such appeal within a reasonable 

 time and to abide by and perform such judgment or order as may 

 be made thereon. 



19. The Pilots' Fund, so called, now accrued or hereafter accruing, 

 shall be invested or deposited in the names of the commissioners, sub- 

 ject to the approval of the Governor in Council, and no portion of

 sioners, approved of by the Governor in Council.

 several pilot boats under their charge; such returns shall show the 

 amount received from each vessel, together with the vessel's name 

 and tonnage, the date when collected, and the total amount collected 

 for the year, and shall be verified by the affidavit of such Master 

 pilot before a stipendiary Magistrate or a Justice of the Peace, who 

 is hereby authorised to administer such oath. 



21. The commissioners of pilots shall, before the thirty-first day 

 of January in each year, make a return to the Governor in Council,
