Legislation by Source Document: Acts of the General Assembly of His Majesty's Province of New Brunswick Passed in the year 1801. Saint John, NB: J. Ryan, 1801.
This act follows an 1795 act to build beacons and harbour slips in Passamaquoddy Bay, but resulted in large debts.

This act replaces all existing trespass legislation, making new stipulations for erecting property divisions and penalties for human or animal violations of them.
This act establishes duties and fines on imported items to raise provincial revenue, and charges agents with the authority to collect such duties and fines and prosecute frauds.
