9. No person shall leave the island without permission from the governor, under
 penalty of five hundred pounds of tobacco; and the person who aids another to leave,

 of the party leaving.

 10. No man nor any in his house shall purchase of, or negotiate with, the people
 or white servants of any other person, without his permission, under a penalty of five
 hundred pounds of tobacco. And any one concealing the servant of another, is to pay
 one hundred pounds of tobacco for every twenty-four hours.

 11. If any servant leaves his master, he shall not be harbored by any person;
 and if such servant is taken, he shall serve his master a day extra for each week of his
 absence, and a week for each month, and a month for each year, and a year for every
 seven years; and if it is his custom to run away, his master may put him in irons until he
 is broken of his bad habits.

 12. Every man who enters the estate of another, and does any damage, shall
pay for the first offence ten pounds of tobacco; for the second offence, twenty pounds;
and for every subsequent offence, a double quantity.

 13. No man must let his negro leave the estate after sunset, without good cause,

to the fort, where he shall be punished.

 14. Persons breaking the foregoing rules, are to be summoned to the fort, and
the offence lawfully proved, and, if he is sentenced to pay any fine, it is to be divided
into three parts, one for the king, one for the church, and one for the complainant.
