No. 57.
Preamble and resolution in relation to Pilots.

Passed March
10, 1846.

WHEREAS, on the fourth of March, eighteen hundred
and thirty-seven, Congress passed an act entitled, an act
concerning pilots, in the following words: Be it enacted,
that it shall and may be lawful for the master and com-
mander of any vessel coming into, or going out of any
port situate upon waters which are the boundary between
two States, to employ any pilot duly licensed or author-
ised by the laws of either of the States bounded on the
said waters, to pilot any vessel to or from said port, any
law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding;
and whereas, said act is exceedingly imperfect, and is
unaccompanied by all detail or provision for its own pro-
per execution, but permits the conflicting jurisdiction of
adjacent States to disturb and derange the best systems
of pilotage which either may adopt — therefore,
Be it resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That our senators and representatives in Congress be re-
quested to use their best efforts to have said law amend-
ed or repealed.
