residence of the person to whom the same is granted, the description of

fide owner of the same; and every person to whom such license may be
granted shall first pay to the clerk where granted three cents for each
square fathom of seine, and one cent for each square fathom of gill
net to be used; but no license shall be granted to any one applying for
the same unless such applicant shall make oath before the clerk author-
ized to issue the same, or before some justice of the peace of the same
county, upon whose certificate the clerk may issue said license, that the
number of square fathoms of the Feme or net to be used, and the
other facts to be inserted in said license, are strictly true, and that he
will obey and comply with all the provisions of the laws of this State
regulating fishing in the Potomac river; and for each and every outfit,
whether of hauling seine or gill net, a license shall be required.
