Ist. That the vessels which enter the ports of this Island
laden with coals in quantity equal to, or greater than, the
measurement expressea in their certificates of registry,
shall continue to enjoy the exemptions which have been
conceded to them, even if they should bring other cargo
besides.

2d. That the vessel® importing coals only, bat in less
quantity than their measurement, shall only be end' led
to be relieved for the part occupied by the coal, and be
subjected for the difference to the full payment of the
tonnage, although with the enjoyment of the other
exemptions.

3d. Th ,t the vessels which, besides coals in quantity
equal to their measurement, bring other cargo, in what-
ever quantity, are in the same classification as to the ton-
nage duty, but are subject to the payment of the clearing

of trade ; it being the pleasure of her Majesty that the pe-
riod for such exemptions is to be understood for one y

which term they shall mark its effects, in order that, with
a thorough knowledge theref, in duo time may be either
