owners, consignee or consignees, and other person, having the direction
of the discharge of the same, under the penalty of one hundred dollars,

supplement is directed, to give, or cause to be given, to the Board of
Health, notice that the same cargo is discharged, and to permit and
suffer the Board of Health, by themselves or by their lawful agent by
