3d. No engagement of a laborer shall be lawful in future, unless made in the
 presence of witnesses, and entered in the day-book of the estate.

 4th. Notice to quit service shall be given by the employer, as well as by the
 laborer, at no other period but once a year, in the month of August, not before the first,
 nor after the last day of the said month; an entry thereof shall be made in the day-book,
 and an acknowledgment in writing shall be given to the laborer.

 The laborer shall have given, or received, legal notice of removal from the
 estate where he serves, before any one can engage his services; otherwise the new
 contract to be void, and the party engaging in tampering with a laborer employed by
 others, will be dealt with according to law.

 In case any owner or manager of an estate should dismiss a laborer during the
 year without sufficient cause, or should refuse to receive him at the time stipulated, or
 refuse to grant him a passport when due notice of removal has been given, the owner
 or manager is to pay full damages to the laborer, and to be sentenced to a fine not
 exceeding $20.

 5th. Laborers employed or rated as first, second, or third class laborers, shall
 perform all the work in the field, or about the works, or otherwise concerning the estate,
 which it hitherto has been customary for such laborers to perform, according to the
 season. They shall attend faithfully to their work, and willingly obey the directions
 given by the employer, or the person appointed by him. No laborer shall presume to
 dictate what work he or she is to do, or refuse the work he may be ordered to perform,
 unless expressly engaged for some particular work only. If a laborer thinks himself
 aggrieved, he shall not therefore leave the work, but in due time apply for redress to
 the owner of the estate, or to the magistrate. It is the duty of all laborers on all
 occasions, and at all times, to protect the property of his employer, to prevent mischief
 to the estate, to apprehend evil-doers, and not to give countenance to, or conceal,
 unlawful practices.

 6th. The working days to be as usual only five days in the week, and the same
days as hitherto. The ordinary work of estates is to commence at sunrise, and to be
finished at sunset, every day, leaving one hour for breakfast, and two hours at noon
from twelve to two o'clock.

 Planters who prefer to begin the work at seven o'clock in the morning, making
no separate breakfast time, are at liberty to adopt this plan, either during the year, or
when out of crop.

 The laborers shall be present in due time at the place where they are to work.
The list to be called and answered regularly. Whoever does not answer the list when
called, is too late.
