CHAP. 45. I do not find any cases of prosecutions
under this statute, or any thing to shew that
it extended to the province. It does not however
appear that provision is made for the offences
therein mentioned by an act of assembly, or
that in the case of stealing goods from a vessel
lying on a navigable river, any direction is given
as to the county in which the trial is to be had,
unless the act of 1704, Ch. 92, should have that
effect.
The act of 1789, Ch. 22, speaking of rivers, relates
only to homocide, and there are in other acts
provisions as to offences on Chesapeake bay,
which have been noted under the statutes respecting
piracy. |
