LXXII. All Rules and Regulations made under the Ordinances which are in force when this Act comes into operation, shall continue in force as if made under this Act, until revoked or altered under the Authority of this Act, and no longer. Your attention is particularly directed and enjoined to the whole of the Regulations issued by the Board of Trade | see before], directed to be -published for general information by the Honorable tho Colonial Treasurer (a Warden of this Board), and most particularly to its lust clause. The above Regulations apply to all ships, whatever their nationality, within the limits of British jurisdiction, and to British and French ships whether within British jurisdiction or not. Having examined and compared these clauses, you will perceive that, by the Acts of the General Assembly — to wit, " The Marine Board Act" and " Steam Navigation Act" of 1862, clauses XXVII and XXVIH, careful provision was made to incorporate all the laws then existing under Imperial authorities into those which have since received Her Majesty's assent ; also for the immediate adoption of all such modifications and changes as might from time to time be issued and proclaimed in the London Gazette, under the authority of the Board of Trade in the United Kingdom. By a comparison of the former Regulations issued by tbe Imperial Board of Admiralty, in 1858, with those which wero Gazettpd in May last, issued by tbe Board of Trade of the United Kingdom, you will perceive that the language- of the law now in force is much more literal, far more comprehensive and emphatic, and in the same ratio less possible of misconstruction. You will understand that the Regulations now in force, like those they replaced, are addressed to His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief; it is incumbent, therefore, upon all Harbor Masters and Pilots who exercise thetr authority over and in their respective ports by virtue of the Governor's warrants, to see the same enforced. The Harbor Regulations fully provide for the internal economy and order of the ports to which they respectively apply. As any departure from " The Regulations Issued by the Board. of Trade" may be fraught with the most disastrous consequences, you are directed and enjoined to immediately lay informations against all parties who may he guilty of such departure or evasion, that they may be brought before a competent tribunal; until this is done, by silently permitting any such departure or evasion, the officers of the Colonial Government render themselves obnoxious to the charge of being aiders and abbettors in the place of being protectors to the public.
