OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATIVE TO THE OPERATION OF THE PILOT LAWS OF U. S. WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO NEW-YORK. JUNE, 1840. NEWARK, N. J. PRINTED BY M. S. HARRISON & CO. Whilst the undersigned are convinced of the policy of admitting Pilots of adjoining States, and traversing the same waters, into a competition for the common Pilotage of those States, they can cheerfully say, in particular reference to the Jersey Pilots, that they have every confidence in the faithfulness and efficiency of the Commissioners of Pilotage of New-Jersey, and in the salutary operation of the laws of this State concerning Pilotage; and have reason to believe that the statements made in this abstract, with regard to the conduct and competency of Jersey Pilots, are a correct representation.
