eight, it is, amongst other things, enacted, " that
it shall and may be lawful for the Lords and
others of his Majesty's Privy Council, or any two
or more of them, to make such order as they shall
see necessary and expedient upon any unforeseen
emergency, or in any particular case or cases, with
respect to any vessel arriving and having any in-
fectious disease or distemper on board, or on board
of which any infectious disease or distemper may
have appeared in the course of the voyage, or
arriving under any other alarming or suspicious
circumstances as to infection, although such
vessel shall not have come from any place from
which his Majesty, his heirs and successors, by
and with the advice of his Privy Council, may
have adjudged and declared it probable that the
Plague, or any such infectious disease or distemper
may be brought, and also with respect to the per-
sons, goods, wares, and merchandise, and other
articles, as aforesaid, on board the same ; and in
case of any infectious disease or distemper appear-
ing or breaking out in the United Kingdom or the
islands aforesaid, to make such orders and give such
direction, in order to cut off all communication
betweei? any persons infected with any such dis-
ease or distemper, and the rest of his Majesty's
subjects, as shall appear to the Lords or others of
his Majesty's Privy Council, or any two or more
of them, to be necessary and expedient for that
purpose, and likewise to make such orders as
they shall see fit, for shortening the time of
quarantine to be performed by particular vessels
or particular persons, goods, wares, merchandise,
or any other articles, or for absolutely or condition-
ally releasing them, or any of them, from quaran-
tine ; and all such orders so made by the Lords or
others of the Privy Council, or any two or more
of them, as aforesaid, shall be as good, valid,
and effectual, to all intents and purposes, as well
with respect to the commander, master, or other
person, having the charge of any vessel, and all
other persons on board the same, as with respect
to any other persons having any intercourse
or communication with them, and to the penalties,
forfeitures, and punishments to which they may re-
spectively become liable, as any order or orders
made by his Majesty, his heirs and successors, by
and with the advice of his or their Privy Council
concerning quarantine, notified by proclamation or
published in the London Gazette :

And whereas a certain vessel named the Helvetia,
having a certain infectious disease on board, that is

sons on board that vessel infected with that disease
