" term, the possession of the British Territories in India, toge-
" titer with certain exclusive Privileges, for establishing fur-
" ther Regulations for the Government of the said Territories
" and the better administration of Justice within the same,
and for regulating the Trade to and from the places within
" the limits of the said Company's Charter :" And whereas
by the said Act it was enacted, That it should be lawful for
any of his Majesty's subjects, in common with the said
United Company, to export in ships navigated according
to law, from any port or ports within the United Kingdom
Of Great Britain and Ireland Wall ports and places within
the limits of the said Company's Charter, save and except the
dominions. of the Emperor of China, any goods, yiarts, and
merchandize, which could then, or might at any time or times
thereafter be legally exported ; and also, in common with the
said Company, to import in ships, navigated as aforesaid, from
any port or ports within the limits aforesaid, save and except as
aforesaid, into the said United Kingdom, any goods, wares and
merchandize the produce or manufacture of any of the countries
within the said limits, which would then, or inight'at any time
or times thereafter be legally imported ; and also to import any
goods, wares, or merchandize, the produce or manufacture of
any country within the said limits, except Tea, although
the same might not be of the growth, production, or manu-
facture of the place or country from which the same should
have been shipped or brought, or have been shipped or brought
front the port where such goods or commodities could only be,
or were or usually had been'first shipped for transportation, not
the usual place for lading the same ; and in the said Act were
contained several provisoes, restrictions, and limitations, for the
regulation of the trade, authoriied by the said Act to be car-
ried on by his Majesty's subjects, and also for the disposition
in the United Kingdom of all articles, manufactures of silk,
hair or cotton wool, or any mixture thereof, imported under the
authority of the said Act, from any port or place within the li-
mits of the said Company's Charter • and for encouraging the
fishery carried on to the southward Of the Greenland seas and
Davis's Streights, by extending the limits prescribed by the
Caine, it was by the said Act enacted, that it should and might
be lawful for any ship or vessel, fitted and clearing out con-
formably to an Act, passed in the thirty-fifth year of his
said late Majesty's reign, intituled 4‘ An Act for the further
encouraging and regulating the Southern Whale Fisheries,"
to sail and pass, for the purpose aforesaid, in all the seas to
the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope and in all the seas to
the westward of the Streights of Magellan, subject to several
provisoes in the said Act contained; and it was also enacted by
the said Act, That nothing herein contained should extend or
be construed to extend, to prevent the making, during the fur-
ther term thereby granted to the said Company, such further
provisions by authority of Parliament as might from time to
time be deemed necessary for enabling his Majesty's subjects
to carry on trade and traffic, directly or circuitously, as well be-
tween all ports and places situate within the limits of the said
Company's Charter, and all ports and places (except the domi-
nions of the Emperor of China), situate within those limits, or
between the said United Kingdom, and all the last mentioned
ports and places, except as aforesaid, but without prejudice to
any of the restrictions or provisions therein contained, as to the
resort to, and residence or', any persons in the East Indies and
ports aforesaid :

late Majesty's reign, intituled " An Act for the further Regu-
lation of the trade to and from the places within the limits of
the Charter of the East India Company :"
And whereas another Act was passed in the 57th year of
his late Majesty's reign, intituled, An Act to regulate the
trade to and from the places within the limits of the Charter

ing to any state or country in amity with his Majesty ;" by
which three last-mentioned Acts, provision has been made
for enabling, as well his Majesty's subjects generally, as the said
United Company, to carry on trade and traffic, directly and,

And whereas an Act was passed in the fifty-ninth year of-the
reign of his said late Majesty, intituled, " an Act to permit
vessels under a certain tonnage to trade between the United
Kingdom and New South Wales :"

liament the hereinbefore recited provisions of the said Act of'
the fifty-third year of his said late Majesty's reign, and all the
provisions of the said Acts of this fifty-faiirth, fifty-seventh and
fifty-ninth years of his said late Majesty's reign, and of the said
Act of the last Session of Parliament, and to make further pro.

cept as to any suits or actions which may have been commenced
