12. The master, and every and all the white hands employed

conveying before some Circuit Court or justice of the peace
who shall have jurisdiction therein, any person engaged in vio-
lating any of the provisions of this act, and of seizing any vessel
engaged therein as fully and to all intents and purposes, as if
the arrest had been made by the sheriff or constable of any

13. Any sheriff or other officer hereinbefore specified, may
summons the posse comitatus to aid him in making any arrest
or seizure authorized by this article.

14. If the person or persons on board any canoe, boat or

15. Upon information given upon oath, to any justice of the
peace having jurisdiction of any violation of any of the pro-

his warrant for the arrest of the offender or offenders, and the
seizure of the vessel, canoe or other boat, together with the
cargo and other property thereon, which said warrant shall be
directed to the sheriff* or any constable of the county, or to the
master or any white man employed on board of any vessel,
canoe or other boat licensed under this article.

16. If any scoop, drag, dredge or other instrument wherewith
oysters are caught or taken, other than tongs or rakes, shall be
found upon or attached to any vessel not having a license under
the provisions of this article, the same shall be prima facie evi-
dence that such vessel has been employed in catching and taking
