The amount of damage is also dearly made out, so that the points for the determination of the Court will be seen to be questions of Law. Firat. — Does the Law oblige owners or Masters of Ocean Vessels, navigating the St Lawrence from Qoebeo to Mmtzeal, to take Pilots t ' Second. — In case of a Pilot being on board and in charge of the Vessel, are ownors or Masters from that fact, by Law, discharged from liability in cases of collision 1 Third. — Or, is it not necessary for the owner or Master, pleading exemption from liabil- ity, to allege a^d prove in order to exonerate themselves that the collision was caused by the fault or incapacity of the Pildt in charge 1 As to the first point, the provisions of Law so far as regulated by the Legislation of the Province will be found in the following Statutes :— 45 Geo, III, cap. 12, Seoti<«s 6, IS. ■ .

" ' The Anperial Pilvtage Xctt, to which reftrenoe may be made, are the following : — 62 Geo. Ill, cap. 69. «. Geo. ly, cap 126. Merchants' Shipping Act of 1854, TbeL. C. Act of 1805. 45th Geo. Iir^eap. 12,' sect 1 incorporates " The Master, Deputy * Master and Warden of the Trinity House of Quebec," three out of the seven persons ipentioned tn l»i residents o( JUotitreal ; and enacts (sect 6) that it shall bo lawful for the Governor to appola^ by warrant " or branph under his hand and seal at arms, fit and proper persons to be ''"■ Kfanob Pilots Jor and Mow lh» Hcuhovr of Qnehec, and other fit and proper persons to be " Biiinch Pilots for and above ike mtid Barbour,* and (by sect. 13) " that if the Master of " ;iny.Ship or Vessel eomin^ to the Harbour of Quebec," (except coasting Vessels or River Craft, &c., mentioned in the proviso.) "not having on board a Pilot, shall refuse '" to reonve on ^towi and employ any Branch Pilot wh6 shall offer to go on board, and "serve as such in the Riw St Lawrence, the Master of such Vessels shall pay to such "Branch Pilot half Pilotege to the Hoibour of Quebec, from the place at which such Pilot "thall have so offered. Provided always that no Master of any coasting Vessel or River Gi^aft^ " wh«i employed within any part of the Gulf or River St Lawrence, or when bound to or from "She Labradw Fisheries, shall be oUiged to take % receive on board a Pilot, anything herein " contained to the eontrar^, notwithstanding." The 2 Vict cap. 49, amended the previous Act of 1805, and incorporated " The Mast«!>^ " Deputy Master and Wardens of Trinity House of Montreei," with jurisdiction from Port Neuf upwards, and with pov;e^ (sect 6) to make By-iaws, amongst other things, " far the " government and regulation of the Pilots /br aiMfn&oiie the Barbour of Quebec" This Statute (sect 19) imposed a penalty of £20 on any person, not being a Pilot, acting as suoh| and a penalty of jCIO on any Brandt Pilots acting as sueh, whilst suspondod-and deprived of his Branch. The 12 Viet eap 114 hi the first Act that enacted (sect 58) " that the* Master of each " Vessel leaving the Poti of Q^n^mfor a Fort out of ihi» Provinoe shall tak,' a Branch Pilot, " to conduct such Vessel under a penalty equal to the Pilotage of the Vessel, which penally " shall go to the decayed Pilots fund," and (by sect 64) ' That the Master of every Vessel "domin g from a Port eit< of the Prooin)^, and not h ttving » 7 'entering the Port ^ Vueieo, under a penal ty^f jf 10, hoist the Union Jack at the foro top- " nasi heady and leave it so hoisted dvery day, from day light to dark, until boarded by a )], are ownen or " Branck Pilot" The 55th sectioo provides that the B*»8tor of any.

This is the Act now in foroo regulating Pilotage at Quebec, but it is of no force above th/|A)per limits of that Fort ; the regulation and government of Pilots licensed as such for th^>rt4f Quebec, being, by'seoi 4, sub. section 18, vetted in the Quebec Trinity House.
