Passed 17th March, 1825.

Preamble.

 
WHEREAS great inconvenience and delay has frequently occurred in the lading and unlading of Vessels and Boats in the Parish of Fredericton for want of proper regulations for Waggoners and Carmen; for remedy whereof,

 

Justices in General Sessions may make regulations for the lading and unlading of Vessels and for the government of Carmen, &c. and fix the rates for Cartage under penalties not exceeding 40s.

Fines imposed to be recovered before a Justice,

and levied by distress and sale.

How applied.

 
II.   And be it further enacted, That the several Fines and Penalties to be imposed under and by virtue of this Act, shall be recovered upon oath of one or more credible Witness or Witnesses, before any one of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of York; and levied by distress and sale of the Goods and Chattels of the offender, rendering the overplus, if any, after deducting the costs and charges of prosecution and sale, to such offender:   and be applied, one half to the person who shall sue for the same, and the other half to the use of the Poor of the said Parish.
