In case of any Emigrant not- presenting himself for embarkation at the time and place appointed by the Agents in England, after having accepted the offer of a passage, and so being left behind, one half of the passage- money will be forfeited, and must be paid to the Provincial Government, on demand, by the applicants in the Colony ; - for which the first mentioned Promissory Notes will be a security. 4.
