(5) The same tolls are payable on steamboats or vessels of any kind, and passengers, taken down the St. Lawrence River past any of the canals between Montreal and Kingston, as would be payable on those steamboats, vessels or passengers, if they had been taken through the canal or canals past which they are so taken down, and those tolls shall be levied in like manner and under the like fines and forfeitures for the non-payment thereof.
(5) Les bâtiments, à vapeur ou autres, qui descendent le Saint-Laurent, ainsi que leurs passagers, sont assujettis aux mêmes péages que s’ils avaient effectivement emprunté les canaux situés entre Montréal et Kingston; ces péages sont perçus de la même manière et leur non-paiement entraîne les mêmes amendes et confiscations.
