    license to any other person, shall be liable to a

    in charge of any boat, who by sickness may be prevented from plying, may, on depositing with the
    Harbour Master a certificate from a duly qualified
    medical practitioner to that effect, together with
    his license, be permitted to nominate a substitute,
    and should the Harbour Master be satisfied of the
    efficiency of the said substitute, he may issue a
    certificate authorizing him to serve in the place of
    the licensed person who is disabled by sickness for
    a period not exceeding one month, and such certificate may from time to time be renewed during the
    illness of the said licensed boatman so long as his
    license shall be so deposited with the Harbour
    Master.

  3. Every vessel or boat used for the purpose of
    carrying passengers or cargo for hire in any port,
    harbour, or river, in the Colony, shall be licensed for
    that purpose by the Superintendent of the Province,
    in which such vessel or boat is to ply; and such
    license being granted on the certificate of the
    inspecting officers, as hereinafter provided, shall be
    in force till the first of July next ensuing; and a
    certificate of license shall be given to the owner of
    the vessel or boat, and must at all times be produced
    for inspection when demanded by the Harbour
    Master or his deputy; and the name and number
    of the boat for which the certificate of license is
    issued, and the name of the owner, and the quantity
    of cargo or number of passengers which the vessel or
    boat is licensed to carry, shall be stated in the
    certificate, and shall be also legibly painted on some
    conspicuous part of the boat; and the owner of any
    vessel or boat which shall be used for carrying
    passengers or cargo for hire, who shall not comply
    with the above regulation shall for every offence be
    liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds.

  4. Before a license is granted for any vessel or
    boat, as provided in the last preceding clause of
    these regulations, she must be inspected by two or
    more competent persons appointed by the Superintendent, who will, on approval, grant a certificate as
    to her dimensions and the quantity of cargo, or the
    number of passengers she may be permitted to carry,
    and such certificate must be produced on application
    for a license.

  5. The Harbour Master or any person authorised
    by him may at any time inspect any cargo or other
    boat, and if found to be not fully equipped with
    proper gear, and not in a seaworthy condition, or if
    found to be overloaded, the license of said boat may
    be cancelled.

  6. Each boat which is licensed to carry passengers
    shall carry twenty pounds of luggage (if required)
    with every passenger, without extra charge, and the
    sum to be paid for all luggage beyond the weight
    above stated, shall be at the rate of one passenger
    fare for every one hundred and fifty pounds weight,
    but for every one hundred and fifty pounds weight
    of luggage so carried one passenger must be deducted
    from the number which such boat is licensed to carry.

  7. The fares which licensed watermen will be
    allowed to charge will be fixed by the Superintendent
    of each Province for the several ports therein.

  8. In those ports in which night watermen are
    required all regulations concerning them will be made
    by the Superintendent as aforesaid.

  9. In those ports in which “watermen’s houses”
    are provided they shall be set apart solely for the
    use of licensed watermen, and no other person will
    be permitted to occupy them. Should any person
    persist in doing so, the watermen on duty shall report the same to the police, who will cause such
    intruders to be removed, and any person persisting
    in returning to such “watermen’s houses,” after
    being warned by the police, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding forty shillings.
