6. And whereas in and by the said recited act, made in the fifteenth year of his present Majesty’s reign, it is directed, That in case any seaman or fisherman shall at any time wilfully absent himself from his duty or employ, without the leave and consent of his hirer or employer, or the agent of such hirer or employer, or shall wilfully neglect or refuse to work, according to the true intent and meaning of his contract or agreement, he shall, for every day he shall so absent himself or neglect or refuse to work, forfeit two days pay to such owner or employer: And whereas the said penalties have been found insufficient; be it therefore enacted, That, where any such seaman or fisherman shall so wilfully absent himself from his duty or employ, without the leave or consent of his hirer or employer, or shall wilfully neglect or refuse to work, for the space of one day, he shall, for every day he shall so absent himself, or wilfully neglect or refuse to work, forfeit any number of days pay not exceeding five, as the said governor of _Newfoundland_, or his surrogate, may think just and reasonable; and such forfeiture shall be paid to the hirer or employer of such seaman or fisherman, in recompence for the loss or damage which he may have sustained by means of, or through such absence, neglect of duty, or refusal to work. [Sidenote: Master to be sworn before oil or blubber admitted to entry duty-free.] 7. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That, before any oil or blubber, imported from _Newfoundland_ into _Great Britain_, shall be admitted to entry duty-free, the master, or other person having or taking the charge or command of the ship or vessel importing the same, shall make oath before the collector, or other chief officer of the customs at the port in _Great Britain_ into which the said oil or blubber is imported, (who is hereby authorised and required to administer such oath), that the same, and every part thereof, is really and _bona fide_ the oil or blubber of fish or creatures living in the sea, actually caught and taken on the banks and shores of the island of _Newfoundland_, and parts adjacent, wholly by his Majesty’s subjects carrying on the said fishery from his Majesty’s _European_ dominions, and usually residing in the said dominions; any law, custom, or usage, to the contrary notwithstanding. [Sidenote: A similar oath to be taken relative to seal skins.]
