Recovery of tonnage rates by distraint and sale of ship and tackle.

44. If the master of any vessel in respect of which any rate is payable to
the undertakers refuse or neglect to pay the same, or any part thereof,
the collector of rates may, with such assistance as he may deem necessary, go
on board of such vessel and demand such rates, and on nonpayment thereof, or
of any part thereof, take, distrain, or arrest, of his own authority, such
vessel, and the tackle, apparel, and furniture belonging thereto, or any part
thereof, and detain the matters so distrained or arrested until the rates are
paid; and in case any of the said rates shall remain unpaid for the space of
seven days next after any distress or arrestment so made, the said collector
may cause the matters so distrained or arrested to be appraised by two or more
sworn appraisers, and afterwards cause the matters distrained or arrested, or
any part thereof, to be sold, and with the proceeds of such sale may satisfy
the rates so unpaid, and the expences of taking, keeping, appraising, and
selling the matters so distrained or arrested, rendering the overplus (if any)
to the master of such vessel upon demand.
