Idlers - Interest

Home |New South Wales, 1811

 

Idlers--loitering about the wharfs, to be sent to hard labor; and if after sunset, to be imprisoned.

Initials--of the governor, commissary, and deputies, if forged, to be considered as full signatures.

Interest--not more than eight per cent. to be exacted; and any persons demanding more, are subject to the laws against usury.
