and from and after the twentieth day of March, seventeen hundred and
ninety-two, it shall not be lawful for the inspector to pass any fish
packed in barrels
of any other size. |

V. And,
whereas it is represented to this general assembly, that the sum allowed
per barrel by the original act for the inspection of fish, is more
than a sufficient
compensation for the service, and more than the value of the commodity
can bear, Be it enacted, That
from and after the twentieth day of March next,
it shall be lawful for the inspector to ask and receive for inspection
only three-pence
per barrel; and in case of absence or sickness of the inspector, it
shall be
lawful for him, with the consent and approbation of the commissioners,
or a
major part of them, to appoint a deputy, who shall have the same power,
and be
allowed the same fees, as the inspector; provided nevertheless, that
it shall not
be lawful for such deputy to enter on the execution of his office before
he hath
taken the oath, or affirmation, prescribed by the original act to be
taken by the
inspector. |
His allowance,
&c. |
VI. And,
whereas doubts have arisen on the construction of the original act,
with respect to the necessity of submitting to inspection any barrelled
fish but such
as were intended for exportation; for the removal thereof, Be
it enacted, That
from and after the end of this present session of assembly, it shall
not be lawful, in
the town of Baltimore or the precincts thereof, for any person to offer
for sale or
barter, whether for exportation or otherwise, any barrelled fish which
has not
been inspected; nor shall it be lawful for any person, within the limits
aforesaid,
to purchase any fish which has not be previously inspected, under the
pains
and penalties, and to be recovered and applied, agreeably to the manner
prescribed
by the aforesaid original act. |
Penalty on
persons offering
for sale fish
not inspected,
&c. |
