An ACT respecting registers of vessels, and to direct the entry and
clearing
vessels from and to the British dominions. |

WHEREAS since the treaty of peace between Great-Britain
and the
United States, it is improper to prevent subjects of Great-Britain from
holding property in vessels belonging to and owned with citizens of
this state, and vessels ought to be entered and cleared from or to any
part of the
British dominions: |
Preamble. |
II. Be it enacted,
by the general assembly of Maryland, That hereafter, in
granting registers, such part thereof as prevents the subjects of Great-Britain
from holding shares or interest in vessels, one third whereof belongs to
citizens of
this state, shall in future be omitted, and every register hereafter granted
shall be
corrected so as only to prevent subjects of any state at enmity or war
with this
state, or the United States, or any of them, from having property in any
vessel
declared by law to belong to this state, and entitled to privileges as
such; and
the oath required of the master of every vessel, on entry, shall also be
amended in
the same manner; and it is hereby declared to be lawful for any naval officer
to
enter or clear any vessel from or to any part of the British dominions,
in the same
manner as to any other kingdom or state in peace with this state. |
