vince; every such act, before it receives the 
royal assent, must be laid before both houses 
of parliament in Great Britain, and the King 
must not give his assent thereto until thirty 
days after the same has been laid before par¬ 
liament ; and in case either bouse of parlia¬ 
ment presents an address to the King to with¬ 
hold his assent to any such act or acts, it can- 
not be given.

gulations which may be found expedient, re¬ 
specting the commerce and navigation of the 
province, and also of imposing import and ex¬

plied solely to the use of the province, and in 
such a manner only as the laws made in the 
council and assembly direct.
