Mr. itOKHLL'K explained.
In answer to a (|ueslion from Mr. IIumi.,
The CNANCKLLOIl of the EXClIKCiUEU
said that the commissiontr to be sent out would
liave full authority to act ; that offers had been
made wliich had not yet been accepted ; that a no-
tificution had been sent to the colonies six weeks
ago, of the intention of tlie Ciovenimcnt ; that
their object would l)e to eml)race inquiries from
every party, and to bring about a ttpirit of concilia-
tion and friendship.
Mr. LAHOl CIIKHK could not help saying
that he hoped the commissioner would be u person
having considerable weight ; that his bands would
not be tied up by narrow restrictions to particular
inquiries; but that he wonld be left to take an
enlarged view of the condition of the Canadas; and
that such measures would be devised as would
afford a reasonable hope of tranquillity; and that
lie would be invested with powers to su){^st such
chanties in the constitution itself of the C!anadas,
as would enable all to respect it. [Hear, hear.]
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEf^CEIJ
then su(:^sted that the petition do lie on the table,
but that nothing further should be done until the
Government had laid its views before the Legisla-

PREFACE.
'4 < «■/'
Iv there be any plaee requiring a Customs
Consolidation Act, it is the Province of Lower
Canada. To the complicated nature of our
Duties, every merchant in the town will
bear testimony, and if this be insufficient, let
the forms of Entries which are now published
fltand on record as evidence of the tact.
In the first place we have two systems of
duties. Those levied under the authority of
Imperial Acts, and those levied by the Pro-
vincial Legislature. The former first engage
our attention, and it may be well to enquire
whether they cannot be simplified without in-
terfering in anyway with the intention which
the Imperial Legislature had in view in im-
posing them.
The object of the Crown duties is two-fold.
Their first and principal purpose is that of
raising a revenue, their second that of favor-
ing the trade between Great Britain and this
Colony.
As far as the Crown duty on Spirits is con-
cerned we have nothing to object to. It is le-
vied in the simplest way the nature of the case
admits, namely, at so much per gallon, the
only difficulty arising from the dinerenco be-
tween currency and sterling. This difficulty
can scarcely be avoided while the Crown
continues to hold a controul over certain du-
ties for the regulation of trade, inasmuch as
there are almost as many different currencies
as there are colonies ; hence, a different act
would be necessary for every one — a task
which it would be unreasonable to impose on
the Imperial Legislature.
Such is the state of the Spirit duties, and
we cannot see any reason why the Wine du-
ties cannot be assimilated thereto.
In the first place, the 10s. Crown duty gives
more trouble than it is worth. In three
years we have not imported 6000 tuns of
Wine, so that the average amount of the 10s.
duty is about j£ 1000 a-y ear, and last year it
amounted to less than xlSOO. Now when we
consider the trouble it gives to the Custom
House Officers, the expence of its collection,
and the loss of time to the Merchants in
passing the entries, we think wc shall find
many to join us in a desire to see it given
up ; and we are convinced that a represen-
tation to the proper authorities at home,
stating the above facts would be successful.
The duty on Wines from the place of
growth is more important. It is however
rather a protecting than a revenue duty, it
amounts to something over 6d. W gallon, and
entries would be materially facilitated and
simplified, were it to be changed thereto.
The next duty which we shall notice is the
duty of 7^ V cent, which is not levied when
it amounts to less than the previous duties,
hence it is only chargeable on Wines of a
very high price, uuch indeed as seldom come
to this Colony. The revenue and the pro.
tection also which it affords, must be next
to nothing, hence its only effect is to give all
parties trouble and to increase the cxpencea
of collection. No injury could occur from
its immediate abolition.
The next duty which we are called upon
to notice is the further duty of £7 7s. ^ tun
on Wines from Great Britain in Foreign bot-
tles, and on Wines from the place of growth
in Foreign or British bottles — the latter being
accounted foreign when from foreign places.
Wc are ignorant of the object of this duty, un-
less it be an additional protection to the Eng-
lish glass manufacturer. If such be the object,
and if it be deemed desirable to continue it,
let an additional duty of 6d. be levied in its
place ; that is, converting the previous Crown
duty of 6d. into Is. on Wines in foreign bot-
tles. However, when we consider that all
the bottled Wines imported into Canada do
not exceed 30 tuns, consequently that the
duty we are speaking of does not amount to
£220 sterling, it must be confessed that
there is little object in its retention, espe-
cially when the glass manufacturer of the
United Kingdom nas a direct protection of
Is. ^ dozen. We compute all the bottled
Wines imported at about 3000 dozen. Sup-
posing they are all in foreign bottles, the duty
of Id. would only amount to £150, but it must
be evident that a large portion is in British
bottles from the United Kingdom, which are
free from both the above duties, hence our
sums of £220 and £150 are too large by
perhaps one third or one half.
By thus simplifying the duties on Wines,
let the reader look at our forms of entries
and observe how many deductions, additions
and calculations would be spared ; and then
let him say if all have not an interest in somo
judicious scheme of consolidation.
In the next place, let us call attention to
our Provincial acts. The Provincial duties
computed in currency are levied on the autho-
rity of three acts, viz. the 33d, 35th and 55th
of George III. Hence we have three lines of
figures when one would answer. This is not
an, we have three terms of payment, three
bonds are to be filled up and signed, and in
every way three times the work, which would
otherwise be necessary, has to be done. Let
us therefore hope that an act of tba 5th of
'fi
M
I
WilliBm IV. (l«io,) will " coimwlidalo " tho
2d., Id., and 3d. into a single Od. payable in
one bond at the average of the credit now
given.
With these rcforins, which we think neither
the Imperial nor the Provincial Legislature
would refuse to a proper representation enia*
nating tVorn our Doard of Trade, entries,
now so complicated, would be reduced to ono
line on Wines from the Mother Country, and
to two lines— one small calculation — and two
additions, on Wines from place of growth*
thus : —

Thus saving Declaration and several lines of
figures, together with calculations and addi-
tioni.
In the case of Bottled Wines it would save
to all parties nine.tenths of the trouble—of
course reduce the expense of collecting the
duties, and as we have seen, defeat not one
Binffle object contemplated by the Acts under
which the duties arc levied.

ISSTROCTIONS TO MASTERS OF SHlPvS
Aa a step preliminary to reporting a vessel
the master must proceed to the post-office,
and get a certificate that he has presented
himself there and delivered hia letters, if he
bavo any. Without this bo cannot bo ad-
mitted to enter hia vessel.
It should bo observed, that the certificate
in question is still required, evcti though he
has no letters.
He now presents himself to tho officers of
the Customs, who will furnish him with a
blank form in duplicate, both of which ho
must fill up. This form — numbered 42 —

It sometimes happens, however, that tho
peculiar construction of a sliip, renders it
unsafe to discharge all her inward cargo till
she has taken somethinfi: on board " to stiifbn

is always readily granted, and the mode of
application is by a letter to the Collector and

Uccasionally difficulties have arisen from

when that purpose is answered and they
have discharged their inward carvo, they must
ftill get the clearing note and proceed as
described in tho third and fourth forms.

It is here necessary to remark, that cases

Master's Content or Report Outwards (Short.)
By the 17th seci. of 3 and 4 Wm. IV. chap.
59, a penalty of JSIQO is incurred by the
Master who shall give a &lse Content.
Two other particulars aro Dece*KiMry to be
observed : —
When a ship brings out coals or cinders,
the Master or Consignee i^ould beparticularly
cautious to procure on clearing atthe Custom
House a certificate of the diM landing there-
of, to enable the exporters to get the Bonds
which lire entered into at the time of ship-
ment cancelled.
It is also absolutely necessary that the
Master procure from the WhaiiSnger a certifi-
cate of the time the ship has been at the
wharf.
With shipments of Rum. from jthd. British.
North American Colonies, certificates are.
tri^nsmitted, to be completed and ireturned to
enable the 'shippeTB to cancel the bonds
which they gave, that the same should be
duly landed. Consignees of vessels fronuthe
British North Aiherican Colonies,Bhould on no
account neglect to conipldte such certifi-
cates.
Having performed all the above duties,
which, utbough sufficiently numerous, pre«
sent no peculiar difficulties, the Master re-

The complicated nature of the calculations
re(]uired in passing entries for Wines and
Spirits imported into Canada, renders a verbal
description quite inadequate to explain in
what form such entries should be made out ;
we, therefore, offer to the mercantile public
a set of forms of entries adapted to every
possible circumstance under which Wines
and Spirits can be imported.
Those forms have been submitted to the
Officers of His Majesty's Customs at this
Port, and have been pronounced to be cor-
rcct.
Wines arc received at this Port : —
1. From the United Kingdom— 2. From
the place of Growth.
The packages in which Wines are receiv-
ed are : — '
1. In Wood— 2. In British Bottles— 3. In
Foreign Bottles.
the price is lust so low as to render

Note.— On Wines and Spirits add one-sixth
only to Imperial measure, to bring it into old gal-
lons. The real difference is one-fifth, but it is bet-
ter to reduce the quantity, as an allowance for leak-
age. It will be found to save trouble in completing
entries.
The following is the fbrm of the Declara-
tion required by the 3 and 4 of William IV.,
cap. 59, sec. 23. :—
I, A. B., do hereby declare that the articles
mentioned in the entry, and contained in the
packages X.\ (3) SO, 20 pipes, are of the value
of one thousand two hundred pounds sterling.

The above declaration signed the 5^.i day of
May, 1834, in the presence of C. D., Collector.
N. B. — The declaration may be si^ed in
the presence of any other principal officer of
the Customs.
With regard to the 7^ if cent, dutv, it
must be obvious, that it is only very hiigh

55 of the same king, 3d. on Madeira and
other wines. On these several duties credit
is given, provided the duties under each act
amount to j£20, tho importer giving a bond,

tisfaction of the Collector,

thority of the 33 and 35 Geo. III. are payable
at four months from date, but if dated after the
Ist of Septeinber they are still held to fall
due on the 1st of January; so, in like man-
ner, eight months credit is granted on bonds
for duties levied under the 55 Geo. III., the
period of credit nqt to extend beyond the 1st
of May.

35 Geo. III., cap; 9, sec la, it is enacted,
that "where any bond for the payment of
rates and duties shall not be satisfied on the
day it shall become due, the collector shall
forthwith cause a prosecution to be com.

thereon, by action or suit at law in nnj of

From th« high price of French winest and
4he Ibwness of the duties, the 7| V cent
>v)ll be fi)und to exceed ** the previous dii-
ties" more fVequently than other wines ; still
it is but seldom levied.
If the wine be in Foreign bottles, in addi-
tion to the above items, we have to insert im-
raediately after the duty of 7^ W cent, a for-
mer duty of £7 7s. V tun, and Is. ^ dozen
on the bottles, as seen in the entry No. 3,
/' Madeira in Foreign Bottles." As the en-
try would be so nearly like the above, we
need hot giye it at length.
Othbb Wines. — Entries of Port, Sherry,
Teneriffe, Spanish, Sicilian, Hock, Faval,
and other wines differ from the entry of Ma-
deira only in one particular ; namely, in the
Provincial duties being 2d. — Id. — and 8d. :
in other respects their entry, bond, and its
conditions are precisely similar.

Tho only diffefences in the entries of
wines from the place of growth are, that the
first item is £7 V tun in place of lOs., and
the deduction of 10 V cent, allowed on what
are called the " ftirther duties" on goods di-
rect from the warehouse, is omitted.
Madeira wines from the place of growth
in Foreign bottles* are entered in the same
manner as in the second of the foregoing en.
tries from the United Kingdom, except that
the Crown duty is £7 instead of 10s. ^ tun.
French wines are in no case subject to the
first item of Crown duty. All other wines
differ only from Madeira in the Provincial
duties, as pointed out in the observation fol-
lowing the second form of entry.
The last form which we deem it necessary
to notice is that of an entry for Spirits from
the United Kingdom.

COMPLETION OF ENTRIES.
Wines and Spirits are, of course, entered
&t the Custom-House according to the sup*
posed contents of. the packages. On guag-
ing the casks, however, they will* of ne(^e8si'
tv, be found to contain either more or less
than the quantity entered ; hence, what is
called a post^entry is to be made, for the
purpose ef paying the difference, if the ori-
^nal entry were short~-or of receiving it, if
It were over.
If the quantity originally entered be short
of the guage, a post>entry is made precisely
similar to tne forms already given ; but if the
original entry were for more than the actual
quantity, a form is provided by the Custoir .
House, to be filled up (in duplicate) by the
person who passed the entry. In order to
show how this should be done, we have pro-
cured a form filled up, which we now reprint,

REGULATIONS FOR WAREHOUSING GOODS.
The principal advantage of the privilege of
Warehousing Goods in tho free Ports of
Quebec and Montreal is, that immediate pajr-
mcnt of the Crown duties is avoided. This,
however, is counterbalanced by the disadvan-
tage of having to pay the Provincial as well
as the Crown^uties on taking them out of the
Bended Warehouse. Some further difficult
ties to the Warehousir^ system exist, in the
payment of storage when, perhaps, the mer-
chant has an empty warehouse of his own ;
and in the complex natareofthe Bonds and
Entries required.
As there is, however, some reason to be-
lieve that, ih times of commercial stagna-
_tion, many will be disposed to avail them.
r>i selves of the privilege, the following remarks
and forms of entries will be found materially
to &cilitate the business.
oil w«rehousing goods in virtue of the 3
and 4 Wm. IV., c 59, the following is the
form of entry required :—

The Bond which ia required on warohoiu-
in|f goods is furnished at the Custom-House,
and IS numbered 33. It binds the importer
and another bondsman to trriob the amount

cither of the whole property, or any pare
thereof, provided the property remains under
the King's lock and key. The new proprie-
tor must enter into a bond with the same
condition8,and specifying date of importation,
importer's name and residence, and setting
forth that <* the property has been lately sold
and disposed of." This bond is furnisned at
the CuBtom-House, and has no printed num-
ber at the head.
Property may bo taken out of the ware-
house for one or three purooses. For removed
to another warehouse in tne same colony —
for Home consumption — for exportation. In
the first and last cases, bonds are required to
be given ; in the Becond,the pa} ment of all the
duties cancels all previous bonds.
Rb-Warehovsino. — When goods are re-
quired to be re-warehoused, a wtm must be
filled up expressive of the owner's desire to
remove them from (say) Quebec to Montreal.
This form is numbered 37, and is too simple
to require explanation. It contains at first a
certificate that security has been taken for
the due arrival, and re-warehousing of such
and such goods at such and such Port. This
paper is transmitted by the ofiicers of the
Customs at the Port, whence the goods are
shipped to the officers of the Port,where they
are intended to be re-warehoused.
, The bond required to be given is to thrice
the amount of the duties, as in other cases.
It sets forth that the owner of the goods (as
specified) is desirous of removing them from
the Port of (Quebec) to the Port of (Mon-
treal), and the condition is, that they should
be duly re-warehoused. Hence a certificate
of such re-warehousing muQt be transmitted
to the officers of the port whence they came
in order that the bond which is numbered 36
nit^ be cancelled.
"To re-warehouse goods the following form
of entry is required, and bond 33-a8 previous-
ly described, has to be given.
