   viously had and obtained in manner
   hereinafter mentioned; and every
   person offending against this Regula-
   tion shall be liable for each offence to
   a penalty not exceeding Fifty pounds.
3. It shall be lawful for any Resident
   Magistrate with the concurrence of

4. All fines levied by virtue of the pre-
   ceding Regulations will, pursuant to

   time to time by the Governor in
   Council, for the purposes of Govern-
