Proceedings of the Council of Maryland, 1741. 251

Officer of Patuxent, complaining that the said Plater had de-
manded fees and other pquisites for the Entry & Clearance
of the George Galley which had entered with the said Lee,
and also the aforegoing Answer of the said Plater, and it
appearing that the said Galley actually came into Patuxent
District upon it's first Arrival without going into any other
Port or District, and that the Master went from thence by
Land to the s^d Lees Office on Patowmeck and entered his
Ship there, although the said Ship did not go into the said
Lee's District but unladed and reladed in Patuxent River
within the s^d Platers District, And that the s^d Lee under Colour
of the said Entry received the fees and pquisites on the
Entry and Clearance of the s^d Ship This Board is unanimously
of Opinion that every Naval Officer has an undoubted Right to
all fees and pquisites arising for the Entry and Clearance of
all Vessels which anchor and trade within his District and that
the Naval Officer of any other District has not any Right to any
such fees or pquisites, and that the Naval Officer of One
District ought not to enter any Ship or Vessel lying within the
District of another Naval Officer ;
Therefore his Excellency by the Unanimous Advice of this
Board is pleased to award order and direct the said Lee to
pay the said Plater what Money he received for the Entry and
Clearance of the Galley mentioned in the Remonstrance and
Answer either for fees or Commissions.
