  • Description
    An act to amend a former act passed in 1805, aspects of which had been found inadequate. The fund established, called the "decayed Pilot Fund" is to be divided between two distinct funds, the "Quebec Decayed Pilots' Fund" and the "Montreal Decayed Pilots' Fund." The revenue to support each fund is clarified. The act also amends the sum that will be due to pilots travelling to sea through "stress of weather."
