6. Provided always, and it is hereby further enacted by the authority
aforesaid, That the master or other person taking charge of such ship or
vessel shall produce to the proper officer of the customs in the colony
or plantation where he shall arrive a certificate, under the hand and
seal of the collector or other principal officer of the customs in the
port where he shall have fitted out, that oath hath been made before
him by the shipper of such provisions, hooks, lines, netting, or other
tools and implements, that the same are of the product and manufacture of
_Great Britain_ or _Ireland_, or the _Isle of Man_ respectively, as the
fact may be, and that the several articles before mentioned, (except the
provisions), specifying the quantities and particulars of each sort, are
to be used in the fishery by the crews of the respective ship or vessel
carrying out the same, and by the craft belonging to and to be employed
by such ship or vessel in the said fishery, and for no other use or
purpose whatsoever, (which oath and certificate such collector or other
officer is hereby authorised and required to administer and grant without
fee or reward); and on failure of producing such certificate, or if any
such hooks, lines, netting, tools and implements, are used or disposed of
for any other purpose, the same, and the ship or vessel having the same
on board, shall be liable to be seized and forfeited in the same manner
as they would have been subject and liable if this act had not been made,
any thing herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
[Sidenote: No fishing ships, or any craft carrying necessaries for the
fishery, to be liable to any restraint as to time of working, nor to make
any entry at the customhouse, _&c._]
