62.1 It shall not be lawful for any person to take or catch oysters in any
manner whatever in the waters of the Potomac river unless he be a citizen

1 Apparently act of 1912 ch. 4 (codified here as secs. 71-79), was intended to supersede
secs. 62-70, but as the last named sections were not expressly repealed by the act of 1912,
and as the editor does not attempt to determine when statutes are impliedly re-
pealed, secs. 62-70 are codified. Sec. 13 of ch. 4 of act of 1912 repealed all laws in conflict
therewith.
