Observations

may on that account be proper to apply this
punishment to the first conviction.

This provision as far as it respects persons guilty
of Felony is taken from the aforesaid act of 29th
Geo 2. C.30: and it seems reasonable to extend it
to persons Guilty of Misdemeanours.

This provision is also taken from the aforesaid
act of 29. Geo 2. C30.

Alth'o' this clause is founded on very fair and
equitable principles, no doubt whether it will
not open a Door to fraud and render the persons having
charge of Boats very negligent of them as they
can but rarely be taken for criminal
purposes, without gross neglect or connivance
of the owner.
