from and after the first day of _January_ one thousand seven hundred
and seventy-six, all vessels fitted and cleared out as fishing ships in
pursuance of this act, or of the before-mentioned act, made in the tenth
and eleventh years of the reign of the late King _William_ the third,
and which shall be actually employed in the fishery there, or any boat
or craft whatsoever employed in carrying coastwise, to be landed or put
on board any ships or vessels, any fish, oil, salt provisions, or other
necessaries, for the use and purpose of that fishery, shall not be liable
to any restraint or regulation with respect to days or hours of working,
nor to make any entry at the customhouse at _Newfoundland_, except a
report to be made by the master on his first arrival there, and at his
clearing out from thence; and that a fee not exceeding two shillings
and sixpence shall and may be taken by the officers of the customs at
_Newfoundland_ for each such report; and that no other fee shall be taken
or demanded by any officer of the customs there, upon any other pretence
whatsoever, relative to the said fishery, any law, custom, or usage, to
the contrary notwithstanding.
[Sidenote: If ships have on board any other goods than fish or oil, _&c._
they shall be under the usual restrictions, _&c._]
8. Provided always, and be it enacted, That in case any such fishing
ship or vessel shall at her last clearing out from the said island
of _Newfoundland_ have on board, or export any goods or merchandise
whatsoever, except fish, or oil made of fish, such ship or vessel,
and the goods thereon laden, shall be subject and liable to the same
securities, restrictions, and regulations, in all respects, as they would
have been subject and liable to if this act had not been made, any thing
herein-before contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
[Sidenote: Act 25 _Car._ II. allowing train oil, _&c._ to be imported
duty-free, recited, and after _Sept. 1, 1775_, extended to all ships
belonging to _Great Britain_, _Ireland_, _Guernsey_, _&c._]
