NEW BRUNSWICK ACT OF NOVEMBER 3, 1854. 

 (18 Viet., Cap. I.) 



An Act for giving effect on the part of the Province of New Brunswick to a 

 certain Treaty between Her Majesty and the United States of America. 

 (Passed 3rd November, 1854.) 



Whereas it is expedient to provide for giving effect, as regards this 

 Province, to the Treaty between Her Ma]esty and the United States 

 of America, signed on the fifth day of June in the year of our Lord 

 one thousand eight hundred and fifty four: 



Be it therefore enacted by the Lieutenant Governor, Legislative 

 Council, and Assembly, as follows: 



1. Whenever the Governor of this Province shall by Proclamation 

 declare that the said Treaty has taken effect according to the terms 

 thereof, the articles enumerated in the Schedule to this Act, being the 

 growth and produce of the said United States of America, shall be 

 admitted into this Province free of duty, as long as the said Treaty 

 shall remain in force, any Law, Act, or Statute to the contrary not- 

 withstanding, except that if at any time the said United States shall, 

 under the Terms of the said Treaty, suspend the operation of the 

 third Article thereof, so far as this Province is affected thereby, then 

 the Governor of this Province may, if he see fit, declare such sus- 

 pension by Proclamation, after which the exemption from duty under 

 this Act shall cease while such suspension shall continue, but the 

 Governor aforesaid may again, whenever such suspension shall cease, 

 declare the same by Proclamation, from and after which such ex- 

 emption shall again take effect. 



2. It shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, by any Order 

 or Orders to be made for that purpose, to do anything further in 

 accordance with the spirit and intention of the said Treaty, which 

 shall be found necessary to be done on the part of this Province, to 

 give full effect to the said Treaty, and any such order shall have the 

 same effect as if the object thereof were expressly provided for by 

 this Act. 



3. When and so soon as the said Treaty shall be declared by Proc- 

 lamation of the Governor to be in force and to have taken effect 

 according to the terms thereof, as provided for by the first section 

 of this Act, an Act made and passed in the fifteenth and sixteenth 

 years of the Reign of Her present Majesty, intituled An Act Relating 

 to the Coast Fisheries and for the Prevention of Illicit Trade, to- 

 gether with such provisions of all other Laws, Acts, or Statutes of 

 this Province now in force as are contrary to or inconsistent with 

 the terms and spirit of the said Treaty, are hereby declared to be 

 suspended, and shall continue to be so suspended and not in force 

 so long as the said Treaty shall continue and be in force, any Law, 

 Act, or Statute to the contrary notwithstanding.
