Security must be given to convey them to some other British Colony, or to the United Kingdom. These latter Articles being enumerated in the Navi- gation Acts, have for that reason, been called '' Etiuvhrafcd :" Other Articles, not included in the Enumeration, may be exported directly to any Countries of Europe, not being to the NortJmard of Cape Einisterre. Amongst other Regulations for securing the due Execution of the Navigation Acts, a Duty was imposed upon the principal Enumerated Co: anodities -vhen not intended to be con- veyed to Great Britain ; for it had been found that, under colour of shipping the Articles for another British Colony or Plantation, they were often vended at Sea to the Shipping of other Nations, or transported to Europe direct. The Enumerated Articles are of Two Sorts First, such as are either the peculiar Produce of America, or as cannot be produced (or at least are not produced) in the Mother Country ; — Secondly, such as are not the peculiar Pro- duce of America, bui which are or may be produced in the Mother Country, though not in such Quantities aS to afford a sufficient Supply, and have therefore been obtained from European Countries.

More ertectually to prevent the Frauds ar d Abuses that had existed to the Prejudice of tiie Hritidi Navigation, antl the Loss of a greiit Part of the Trade of the Colonies, many addi- tional Regulations have been directed to be observed, the most material of which are— tliat the Masters of Ships coming into or going out of the British C^olonies shall report, and, if inward bound, belbre proceeding to the Place of unlading; that all Ships and Goods shall be subject to the same Rules, Restrictions, I'enal- ties, and Forfeitures to which Ships and Goods in England are subject by 13 & l*Car. II. c. 1 1. j that Officers shall bo appointed as often as may be needful; that no British Ships shall be qualified to trade to the said Colonies unless registered ; that no Goods shall be shipped to be carried from cne British Colony or Plantation to anothei, without a Sufferance from the proper Officers, nor conveyed from thence without a Cocket, except laden in Boats or smali Vessels under Twenty Tons, and carried within inland Waters, und not 'farther out to Sea than One League; that no Ship carrying Goods to or * Mr. Reeve's History of Law of Shipping and Navigation. from INTEODUCTION. j]| from the British Colonic , or from oie Colony to ai:other, shall be deemed quaiifted to trade until the Master shall prove on Oath that she i» the identical Ship registered, that she belongs to H.S M;:je8ty'8 Subjects, and that no Foreigner has any Share or Interest therein. It has been deemed expedient, however, to depart in some Measure fion. the Colonial System, by permitting the Exportation of most of the principal Enumerated Commodities from the Sugar Colonies direct to Malta and Gibral^^r and lUlowing the Exportation of a great Variety of European Articles from Malta and Gibraltar direct to the said Sugar Colonies, and to New- foundland. Bermuda, and the Colonies in North Amenca ; also Oranges and Lemons from the Azores or Madeiras : To extend also the Trade of the North American Colonies and encou rage the Fish^es. the Lading of other Articles is permitted in Ports of Europe South of Cape Fimsterre, on board Ships arriving from the said Colonies, either with Articles the Production thereof, or with British American Fish; finally Dutch Proprietors in Demerara, Berbice. and B^equibo. may export the Produce of their i^tates to the Netheria.ids, and import from thence into those Colonies the necessary Article. Irr, T'^' ''"''^'**^"" «^«"<^h Estates, ' and the Clothing and Maintenance of the R«i- den^ tliereon. and the Trade to and from the Netherlands may be ca..ied on in Dutch Ship,, Such m ^mA ^ INTRODUCTION. Such is briefly the Nature of the Law and Fohcy regarding « the Trade with Europe •» and as none of the Countries South of Ca^e Finisterre are Manufacturing Countries, it is not considered that any Injury can arise in con- sequence of the Depazture from our Colonial System m favour of those Countries. With respect to the Trade " hetu^een the Co. lomes. both in the Enumerated and the Non- enumerated Commodities, it is perfectly free except as to Hats, Wool, and Woollen Manu-' factures, the Exportation of which is wholly prohibited to any Place, this Prohibition was intended to prevent the Establishment of any Manufactures of such Commodities in the Br^. tut^'T '" '^" ^"J"^ °^*^^ Export Trade ofthe Mother Country. Ever since the Independence of the « United Stales," the Trade of the Britisir Colonies has been subject to particular Limitations ai . Re- strictions, with respect to its Intercourse with that Country. Having broke off their Political Connexion with Great Britain, and become our Hivals in Trade and Manufactures, it was thought necessary to confine the •' Imp^ts " to Tobacco. Naval Stores, and such Articles as the British Colonies did not produce in sufficient Quantities for their Use and Consumption, and which could not be obtained elsewhere, and to confine the "^^or/.'>to some Enumerated Commodities and Goods not prohibited to Foreign Countries in INTRODUCTION. xi in Europe ; such Articles and Goods being im- ported and exported by British Subjects and in British Ships, except as to Importations into Bermuda of the Articles first-mentioned, and ExporL.itions from the Bahamas of the Article of oalt. To prevent a circuitous Trade in tlie Articles permitted to be imported direct, Articles of the .ke Description are prohibited to be imported rrom the Islands and Colonies under the Domi. n.o„ ot -. Foreign European Sovereigns «■ States, except in Cases of public Emergency ori^.stress, when the Governors, with the Con! sent of the,r respective Councils, may authorise «.e Importation of the Articles for a limited Time from anj „f tl,e said Islands or Colonies- but an Act passed in the last Session of P^J ' ' me-t; topetmit the Importation of some oft: Art^les for su*h Supply «-,*<,„, AutkorityJ^ ^«e,s,o„st H.S Majesty is authorized to open Pol ■" '^"l"' S-«- -^A New Brunswick for the l^ portation of Lumber, Cattle, Corn, P™ l^' ana other Articles in British Ships or in ShZ belonging to the Subjects of «„„ State in Am'f ::' «^ «=i-'^ ""' none o/th^A^llt L' roauce of trj-**i?-'v -..■■ iiic- I ianiatr()n provided that nothmg m these Acts shall repeal or alter 5 Geo. 1.
