Tup NrW OYSTER LAW.

TuE New OYSTER LAW.-Ne PUBLISH
Ell in our issue Of the 2nd Of April, IN
slant, synopsis Of the new Oyster Law,
since which We have been in the receipt
Of many inquiries in regard to the mean
ing of particular provisions We Will
state that the synopsis made by US was
made Of the bill as originally reported and
that some verbal changes were introduced
in TO it before its final passage. With re-
card, then, to the prohibition against
catching oysters between the months q
June and September, which is the first
inquiry, the 3rd section Of the law is,
that the comptroller of the treasury shall,
upon the application of any resident q me
State Of No,yJoad, being the owner OF
any boat or vessel licensed or enrolled in
any custom-house Of the United States, IN
said State. issue to said resident a license
to catch or take oysters with scoop, drag,
scrape. dredge, or any other instrument,
within the waters Of Chesapeake bay, and to
buy and sell oysters III the State: Provided,
that no oysters shall be taken between the
first day of June and September III each
, year, and that no steam vessel shall be
employed 10 catch or take oysters.
The 2nd inquiry is in regard to the
prohibition against catching oysters on
Sunday, in answer to which, we state,
that the 10Th section prohibits licensed
persons from catching oysters on Sunday
under penalty of from $50 to $500 or
Imprisonment from % to 90 days.
The 3rd and 18th inquiries are covered
BY sections - and % Of the act, which
provides for shc protection of owners Of
land covered by water having oyster beds,
and allows each owner five acres of his
own land for that purpose, and if he does
not desire to occupy any more OF his land
any other person may locate FIVE acres on
his land for bedding oysters and gives the
proprietor of any land which 4 creek or
cove makes into, not over one hundred yards
! IN width, the exclusive use of said creek,
&c.
The other sections of the act are sub
stantially the same as first reported BY
US. 1t may be proper to remark, that an
authenticated copy of the act itself has
not yet been published, and that it is not
unlikely our synopsis of the sections in
question may be in measure at fault
