P.O. Box 1626, Hannah-Waver House, The Valley, AI-2640, Anguilla Authorised Printers for this Revised Edition LAWS OF MONTSERRAT Preface PRELIM. i Revision Date: 1 Jan 2008 PREFACE This 12-volume updated revised edition of the laws of Montserrat shows the principal and subsidiary laws as at 1 January 2008. The laws are contained in chapters that include the main Act together with subsidiary legislation made under that Act, and also related legislation. The chapters are— • listed alphabetically at page 7 of this booklet; and • grouped into subject Titles, as shown in the Table at page 31 of this booklet. The updated revised edition is published in the form of loose-leaf booklets to allow for the updating of the publication as the law changes. Each page of the updated revised edition shows the revision date, which is the date up until when the law is conclusively stated. The updated revised edition is prepared and published under the authority of the Revised Edition of the Laws Act, which allows for the revised edition to be published also in electronic format—in CDs and on the internet, if required and made formally. The publication of this updated revised edition is an update of the 2002 Revised Edition—thanks are due to the Department for International Development of the Government of the United Kingdom for funding the project, to Eugene Otuonye, Q.C., Law Revision Consultant, Steadroy Meade, Legislative Assistant in the Attorney General’s Chambers of Montserrat for locating and consolidating the laws and to Yolande Dash, Legislative Publishing Consultant of The Regional Law Revision Centre Inc for her expertise in typesetting and printing, the entire work and the preparation of the Revised Edition CD-ROM. JAMES WOOD HON ATTORNEY GENERAL and LAW REVISION COMMISSIONER March 2009 ____________ LAWS OF ii PRELIM. User’s Guide and Information MONTSERRAT Revision Date: 1 Jan 2008 USER’S GUIDE AND INFORMATION This section of the Preliminary Booklet (PB) contains useful guide and other information for both the previous and new subscribers/purchasers and users of the Revised Editions of the Laws of Montserrat. 2002 REVISED EDITION The 2002 Revised Edition of the Laws of Montserrat was the product of a general revision. It brought the Laws updated to 1 January 2002 (the 2002 Revision Date). These Laws are contained in 247 booklets and bound in a green leather binder set of 12 Volumes. The booklets colour is grey. There is also the electronics version that comes in a CD-ROM. This Revision organized the Laws under subject heading and adopted the format, among others, of keeping the principal and related subsidiary legislations in one booklet rather than separate booklets. For ease of reference, the PB for the 2002 Revised Edition sets out this format and other useful information on the 2002 Revised Edition Laws including in particular, the disposition section, which sets out in chronological order, the Acts and their status (‘how dealt with’ comments) as at the 2002 Revision Date. 2008 REVISED EDITION The 2008 Revised Edition is not a general revision but an update of the 2002 Revised Edition. It consolidated and revised those Laws of Montserrat, which though revised up to 2002, subsequently fell due for another revision for variety of reasons, the chief of which will include amendments, repeals, enactment of new Acts and Regulations or other subsidiary legislation. This Revised Edition included certain laws, which were in force but were omitted from the 2002 Revised Edition. It revised and updated the relevant Laws up to 1 January 2008 (the 2008 Revision Date). Please note: there are instances where amending enactments came into force after the 2008 Revision Date but are nevertheless included in this Revised Edition. Wherever this is the case, appropriate footnote has been made to alert the user. Such instances include: The Income and Corporation Tax Act, Customs Duties and Consumption Tax Act and Licensing of Utility Services Act. LAWS OF MONTSERRAT User’s Guide and Information PRELIM. iii Revision Date: 1 Jan 2008 The updated laws involved in this 2008 Revised Edition are contained in 70 booklets. These booklets are green in colour to make them easily distinguishable from the 2002 Revised Edition booklets that are not affected by the 2008 Revision. One of the booklets affected by this 2008 Revision is the PB. It retained all the features and format of the PB of the 2002 Revised Edition except in three major respects: Firstly, it contains this ‘User’s Guide and Information’ section. Secondly, it now includes a list (in alphabetical order) of all the U.K. Statutory Instruments (S.I.s.) applicable to Montserrat as at the Revision Date of 1 January 2008. Thirdly, it indicates in the ‘General Index to the Revised Edition’ as well as in the ‘List of Titles and Chapters’ whether or not an Act or any subsidiary legislation has been the subject of this 2008 Revision. This is done by the notation ‘1/1/2008’, if revised in or otherwise affected by the 2008 Revision or ‘1/1/2002’ if not revised or otherwise so affected. In this regard, the user would notice that some principal Acts may have been subject of this revision with a notation of 1/1/2008 but the subsidiary legislation under them are with a notation 1/1/2002. This could be vice verse. Wherever these notations appear, this would invariably be an indication that the subsidiary legislation (e.g. Regulations) though made under a repealed Act, would continue good and valid under the relevant revised or new Act until repealed or otherwise replaced. An example is the Licensing of Utility Services Act and the related subsidiary legislations—Interim Water Supply Regulations and Electricity Supply Order. USING BOTH REVISED EDITIONS Finally, a word on purchasing and using both Revised Editions: In order to update his or her set of the Laws, a previous purchaser/user of the 2002 Revised Edition set of 12 Volumes, may purchase the 70 booklets containing the 2008 revised laws and simply substitute them in the relevant Volumes in place of the obsolete booklets. The Volumes, if fully replaced with the 2008 revised booklets, would contain booklets of two colours, showing at a glance the laws subject to the 2008 Revision and those not so affected. To assist the user in this exercise, a brief manual titled ‘Step by Step Instructions for Updating the Revised Edition of the Laws of Montserrat’ (the Manual) and a ‘Table of Content of the 2008 Revised Edition’ (the Table of LAWS OF iv PRELIM. User’s Guide and Information MONTSERRAT Revision Date: 1 Jan 2008 Contents) have been included in the bundle of information documents that come with the 2008 Revised Laws. A new purchaser/user would notice that the set of 12 Volumes now contains booklets of two colours (grey and green) again showing at a glance, that the 2002 Revised Edition has been updated and the laws so affected by that update are contained in the booklets in green colour. NB: Please secure the Manual and the Table of Content even after updating your set of the 12 Volumes of the Revised Laws (in the case of previous purchaser/user) or when there no need to update (in the case of new purchaser/user). Further, secure also (preferably in your library archive records), the 2002 Revised Edition booklets removed from the volume binders even though they may appear obsolete upon replacement with the updated version. There will always be need in the future to make reference to them. CITING THE LAWS The practitioner will of course continue to discharge his or her duty to the Court and others by citing these Laws with sufficient clarity to make them easily identifiable and accessible. ____________ LAWS OF MONTSERRAT Contents PRELIM. 5 Revision Date: 1 Jan 2008 TABLE OF CONTENTS PRELIMINARY BOOKLET: Pages Preface ................................................................ i User’s Guide and Information ............................ ii Table of Contents of Volumes 1 to 12................. 5 General Index of the Revised Edition – Alphabetical ............................................. 7 List of Titles and Chapters ................................. 31 List of Omitted Laws .......................................... 57 Chronological Index of Laws ............................. 60 List of United

    Private Patrick Eagan (Also Found As Egan) (Regimental Number 1764) Is Interred in Auchonvillers Military Cemetery: Grave Reference II

    Private Patrick Eagan (also found as Egan) (Regimental Number 1764) is interred in Auchonvillers Military Cemetery: Grave reference II. B. 14. His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a miner, Patrick Eagan was a recruit of the Sixth Draft. Having presented himself for enlistment on August 5 of 1915, at the Church Lads Brigade Armoury in St. John’s, capital city of the Dominion of Newfoundland, he was engaged at the daily private soldier’s rate of a single dollar to which was to appended a ten-cent per diem Field Allowance. (continued) 1 Just one day after having enlisted, on August 6 he was to return to the CLB Armoury on Harvey Road. On this second occasion Patrick Eagan was to undergo a medical examination, a procedure which was to pronounce him as being…Fit for Foreign Service. And it must have been only hours afterwards again that there then came the final formality of his enlistment: attestation. On the same August 6 he pledged his allegiance to the reigning monarch, George V, at which moment Patrick Eagan thus became…a soldier of the King. A further, and lengthier, waiting-period was now in store for the recruits of this draft, designated as ‘G’ Company, before they were to depart from Newfoundland for…overseas service. Private Eagan, Regimental Number 1764, was not to be again called upon until October 27, after a period of twelve weeks less two days. Where he was to spend this intervening time appears not to have been recorded although he possibly returned temporarily to his work and perhaps would have been able to spend time with family and friends in the Bonavista Bay community of Keels – but, of course, this is only speculation.
  • American Eel (Anguilla Rostrata )

    American Eel (Anguilla Rostrata )

    American Eel (Anguilla rostrata ) Abstract The American eel ( Anguilla rostrata ) is a freshwater eel native in North America. Its smooth, elongated, “snake-like” body is one of the most noted characteristics of this species and the other species in this family. The American Eel is a catadromous fish, exhibiting behavior opposite that of the anadromous river herring and Atlantic salmon. This means that they live primarily in freshwater, but migrate to marine waters to reproduce. Eels are born in the Sargasso Sea and then as larvae and young eels travel upstream into freshwater. When they are fully mature and ready to reproduce, they travel back downstream into the Sargasso Sea,which is located in the Caribbean, east of the Bahamas and north of the West Indies, where they were born (Massie 1998). This species is most common along the Atlantic Coast in North America but its range can sometimes even extend as far as the northern shores of South America (Fahay 1978). Context & Content The American Eel belongs in the order of Anguilliformes and the family Anguillidae, which consist of freshwater eels. The scientific name of this particular species is Anguilla rostrata; “Anguilla” meaning the eel and “rostrata” derived from the word rostratus meaning long-nosed (Ross 2001). General Characteristics The American Eel goes by many common names; some names that are more well-known include: Atlantic eel, black eel, Boston eel, bronze eel, common eel, freshwater eel, glass eel, green eel, little eel, river eel, silver eel, slippery eel, snakefish and yellow eel. Many of these names are derived from the various colorations they have during their lifetime.

    Clean Fuel Standard CASE STUDY: NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Snapshot of macro effects for Newfoundland and Labrador: Direct compliance costs: $264 million ($1,040 per employed person) Capital removed from economy: $0.7 billion Job losses: 1,261 Increase in cost of gasoline: 10.5% Increase in cost of natural gas: n/a Main sectors affected: Wholesale and retail sales (221 jobs) Banking, Finance and Professional Services (227 jobs) Entertainment, including Restaurants (136 jobs) Other Manufacturing (191 jobs) Construction (117 jobs) Household Effects Due to Newfoundland and Labrador's (NL) unique geographic location, all import and export goods must be transported via cargo boats and planes (Transportation Directory of NFL, 2003), making the island particularly fuel-dependent. Thus transportation fuels like gasoline are an essential energy source for providing goods and services to the majority of residents of NL. Figure 1. Nominal gasoline price in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1993-2019. Source: Statistics Canada 2020c Figure 1 shows the historical price of gasoline in St. John’s since 1993.1 According to Statistics 1Due to the availability of gasoline price data by major cities, the cost estimate for households of additional gasoline expenses at the provincial level uses major city-level average prices as a proxy for the corresponding province. 1 Canada, 2016 Census of Population, there were 218,675 households in NL. The average annual gasoline price in St. John’s was $1.27 per litre in 2018 (Statistics Canada, 2020c). Our model estimates that of the17% increase in production costs about 10.5% would be passed on to consumers in NL which implies the average purchase price would have been $1.40 per litre of gasoline in 2018.

    Final draft prior to minor editorial changes and type setting. Published in: Nature Geoscience, v. 5, p. 676-677 (2012) Problematic plate reconstruction Brian E. Tucholke and Jean-Claude Sibuet To the Editor – As has been previously proposed1,2, Bronner et al.3 suggest that opening of the rift between Newfoundland and Iberia involved exhumation of mantle rocks until 112 million years ago, subsequent seafloor spreading, and crustal thickening along the high-amplitude J magnetic anomaly by magma that propagated from the Southeast Newfoundland Ridge area. Conventionally, the anomalous magnetism and basement ridges associated with the J anomaly north of the Newfoundland-Gibraltar Fracture Zone are thought to have formed about 125 million years ago at chron M02,3 (Fig. 1a), although the crust probably experienced some later magmatic overprinting4. The M0 age would make their formation simultaneous with that of the similar J anomaly and basement ridges (the J Anomaly Ridge and Madeira Tore Rise) along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to the south5,6 and place them within a zone of exhumed mantle in the Newfoundland-Iberia rift2,3. In contrast, Bronner et al.3 propose that the J anomaly and associated basement ridges were formed by later magmatism (about 112 million years ago) that marked the end of mantle exhumation in the rift. We argue here that constraints from plate tectonic reconstructions render this possibility untenable. The magnetic model central to the Bronner et al.3 paper is plausible (although no more so than models based on M-series geomagnetic reversal data2,7-9), but it is problematic in terms of plate reconstructions.
  • UNDERSTANDING MANUMISSION, SELF-PURCHASE, and FREEDOM in 19Th CENTURY BERMUDA

    UNDERSTANDING MANUMISSION, SELF-PURCHASE, and FREEDOM in 19Th CENTURY BERMUDA

    “AS IF SHE HAD BEEN ACTUALLY BORN FREE” UNDERSTANDING MANUMISSION, SELF-PURCHASE, AND FREEDOM IN 19th CENTURY BERMUDA by © Erin Mick Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador January 2019 Supervisor: Dr. Neil Kennedy The research for this thesis was funded in part by a grant provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) ABSTRACT Despite its significant role since the early 17th century as a maritime center of the Atlantic economy, Bermuda and its role in the slave trade, particularly in the illicit slave trade after 1807, have been left largely unexplored by historians of enslavement. Those few histories, and historic travel accounts, which do focus on Bermuda tend to associate its small size, maritime economy, relatively low reported rate of severe physical punishment of slaves, and the rough parity of white and black demography, with a benign or mitigated reality of enslavement compared to other areas of the slaveholding world. After cataloguing and analyzing documents from the Colonial Secretary’s Books of Miscellany, held by the Bermuda National Archives, the volume of manumission and self- purchase records alone could easily make for an argument that bolsters the previous historiography of benignity. However, through discussing a number of case studies drawn from the Books of Miscellany, new perspectives on 19th century understandings of freedom and slavery bubble to the surface. This thesis aims to broach the topics of manumission, self-purchase, and slave-owner negotiation in an effort to reveal the sheer complexity of how freedom was understood, used, negotiated, upheld, withheld, and performed by Bermudians, both black and white, both slave and free, in the final three decades leading up to Emancipation in 1834.
