      Whereas Noel Chouinard, of the parish of Rimouski, County of Cornwallis, was on the 21st of June last, declared by the board to have forfeited his branch as a pilot for and below the harbour of Quebec, for having run the ship Hamilton on Green Island, where she was stranded and abandoned, which declaration was confirmed by His Excellency the Governor in Chief, and the said Chouinard dismissed accordingly from his office of pilot. And whereas he has applied to this board for a recommendation to his Excellency that he may be reinstated, upon giving sufficient proof of his knowledge and skills for navigating the Saint Lawrence, between Bic and Quebec. This is to give notice to all pilots and to others whom it may concern, that the said Chouinard will be examined publicly before a board of the Trinity House on Saturday the 17th day of June instant, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon.
