There is al present law in Virginia,
fraugh, with much mischief 10 merchants
and captains of vessels, bound 10 ports
within the limits OF Cape Henrs--nr al
lude 10 HAT which renders a Maryland
pilot liable TO prosecution tor conducting
Il vessel 10 Norfolk, &C. although she be
IN distress, and no Virginia pilot in sight.
ihs Clolllda, BroiherOu, of Baltimore,
AN almost unmaaageable wreck, was re-
fused assistance TO get into Norfolk BY
two Baltimore pilot boats, on the ground
that prosecution would he commenced
against them. The consequence was.
tile vessel went TO pieces few miles 10
the southwark of Cape Henry, and six
or eight oil her crew and passengers pc.
riShed.
On the 2slh of June, the Mary Ann,
(pIiOt beaD of Baltimore, put Il pilot on
board a vessel dlsfantlwo miles from Cape
Henry light houSe-no other boat being
ia sight at the time. The vessel WAS con
Quoted to Norfolk, no Virginia pilot boat
having been seen during the passage. On
his arrival there he was prosecuted. and

The fragrant improperly OF such pro-
cedure!s srikingly manifest. There are,
we are informed, l4S pilots for The stale
OF Mary land-ihe greater part OF ~ HON
are well acquainted with making Hamp-
ton Roads. Tn the absence Of Virginia
pilot not one of them dare interfere, no
DIa!terin what situation, or how great the
distress of the vessel, fearing prosecu-
ton. A law authorizing suit under
such circ um stances, is not only inprO-
per, but standing reflection onthe prn-
cIp!es of humanity. Fed. Rep.
