¶1By the Court,
¶2By an act of the legislature of this state, passed February 19th, 1819, in relation to themaster and wardens, harbor masters and pilots of the port of New York,the pilots by Sandy Hook may demand from vessels of the United States drawing less than fourteen feet? §1,50 for every foot such vessel shall draw, Stat. Laws, a., p. 20, $ 21; and if the masters of certain vessels shall refuse to receive a pilot, such masters shall pay half pilotage, § 20; and by § 25, every pilot through Hurl-Gate may receive from the master to whom he shall tender his services and by whom the same shall be refused, three-fourths of the rates allowed to other pilots in those cases. This action provides that nothing shall be demanded from coasting vessels, sailing under a coasting license, unless they make a signal for a pilot. The act of April 16th, 1830, applies the provisions of the 25th section, last referred to, to all coasting vessels passing Hurl-Gate, except those of less than 100 tons burthen. The plaintiff in error contends that the judgment of the superior court should be reversed, because the vessel in this case was owned in Boston, and that consequently the law of this state on this subject is unconstitutional. The answer to which is, that it docs not appear where the vessel was owned, and therefore the question cannot be raised. The amount of the justice’s judgment is right. The declaration is sufficient, particularly as no objection was made to it, or to the evidence under it, *66before the justice. The vessel exceeded 100 tons burthen; and under the act of1830, it was immaterial whether she had a coasting license or not, or whether she made a signal for a Pilot or ad-
