law .
Creeks are of two kinds ,
viz .
creeks of the sea and creeks of ports .
The former sorts are such little inlets of the sea whether within the precinct or extent of a ,
port or without ,
which are narrow little passages and have shore on either side of them .
The latter ,
Viz .
breaks of ports ,
are by a kind of civil denomination such .
They are such ,
that though possibly for their extent and .
situation they might be ports ,
yet they are either members of or dependent upon other ports .
In England it began thus :
the king ,
could not conveniently have a customer and comptroller in every port or haven .
But these custom officers were fixed at some eminent port ;
and the smaller adjacent ports became by that means creeks ,
or appendants .
of that where these custom officers were placed .
