EXTRACT FROM THE POST OFFICE LAW.
SECT 14. And be it further enacted, That no ship or vessel arriving at any port within the United States where a Post Office is es- tablished, shall be permitted to report, make
entry, or break bulk, until the master or com- mander shall have delivered to the postmaster all letters directed to any person or persons within the United States, or the territories thereof, which, under his care, or within his power, shall be brought in such ship or ves- sel, except such as are directed to the owner or consignee of the ship or vessel, and except also such as are directed to be delivered at the port of delivery to which such ship or vessel may be bound. And it shall be the duty of the collector, or other officer of the port, em- powered to receive entries of ships or vessels, to require, from every master or commander of such ship or vessel, an oath or affirmation, purporting that he has delivered all such letters except as aforesaid. And if any commander or master of any ship or vessel shall break bulk before he shall have complied with the requirements of this act, every such offender shall on conviction thereof, forfeit, for every such offence, a sum not exceeding one hun- dred dollars.
SECT. 15. And be it further enacted, That, the postmasters to whom such letters may be delivered, shall pay, to the master or com- mander, or other person delivering the same, except the commanders of foreign packets, two cents for each letter or packet, and shall obtain, from the person delivering the same, a · certificate, specifying the number of letters and packets with the name of the ship or ves- sel, and the place from whence she last sailed, which certificate, together with a receipt for the money, shall be, with his quarterly ac- counts, transmitted to the postmaster general, who shall credit him with the amount.
