THURSDAY, AUGUST 90.
The followingis an abstract of the law
Of the province OF New Brunswick fol
the plaster traIle. It seems
that the penalty for landing plaster il
the United States eastward of Boston
instead of five dollars is twenty shiliings
1t will be recollected that the trade II
this article heretofore has been in q
great measure confined to Americas
vessels, which have takenit on board, al
an eastern port near the New Bruns-
wick border, they not being permitted to
go for It 10 the British Colonies. We
have not. at hand copy of the law of
Nova Scotia. but we believe it similar TO
that of New Brunswick.
