Victoria, Cap. 93. 



An Act to regulate the Trade of British Possessions abroad. 



[4th August, 1846.] 



WHEREAS an Act was passed in the Session of Parliament holden in 

 the Third and Fourth Years of the Reign of King William the 

 Fourth, intituled An Act to regulate the Trade of the British Pos- 

 sessions abroad, whereby the Laws of Customs in relation to the 

 Trade of the British Possessions abroad were consolidated: And 

 whereas since the passing of the said Act divers Acts and Parts of 

 Acts for the further Amendment of the Law in that respect have been 

 found necessary, and it will be of advantage to the Trade and Com- 

 merce of the Country that the said Acts and Parts of Acts should be 

 consolidated into one Act : Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's 

 most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the 

 Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parlia- 

 ment assembled, and by the Authority of the same, That from and 

 after the passing of this Act the same shall come into and be and 

 continue in full Force for all the Purposes therein mentioned, except 

 where any other Commencement is herein particularly directed. 



II. And be it enacted, That no Goods shall be imported into, nor 

 shall any Goods, except the Produce of the Fisheries in British Ships, 

 be exported from any of the British Possessions in America by Sea 

 from or to any Place other than the United Kingdom, or some other 

 of such Possessions, except into or from the several Ports in such 

 Possessions, called " Free Ports," enumerated or described in the 

 Table following; (that is to say,)
