 during the Continuance of the Fishing Season for which such Cer- 

 tificate may have been granted ; and previously to obtaining a Clear- 

 ance at the End of such Season for any other Voyage at any of such 

 Ports, the Master of such Ship shall deliver up the before mentioned

 the Time the same may be engaged in the said Fishery, any Goods 

 or Merchandizes whatsoever, other than Fish, Seals, Oil made of

 ject and liable to all such and the same Rules, Restrictions and Regu- 

 lations as Ships in general are subject or liable to.

 or waterborne to be laden on board any Ship, or unladen from any

 Mauritius, or the Islands of Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney or Sark, 

 until due Entry shall have been made of such Goods, and Warrant 

 granted for the lading or unlading of the same; and that no Goods 

 shall be so laden or waterborne, or so unladen, except at some Place 

 at which an Officer of the Customs is appointed to attend the lading 

 and unlading of Goods, or at some Place for which a Sufferance shall 

 be granted by the Collector and Comptroller for the lading and 

 unlading of such Goods; and that no Goods shall be so laden or 

 unladen except in the Presence or with the Permission in Writing of

 other Regulations for the carrying coastwise of any Goods, or for 

 the removing of any Goods for Shipment, as to them shall appear 

 expedient; and that all Goods laden, Waterborne or unladen, con- 

 trary to the Regulations of this Act, or contrary to any Regulations 

 so made and appointed, shall be forfeited.
