If there be not on board any ship bringing merchandise to the Colony, from any port or place within the British dominions, such full proper and authentic manifest of the cargo, or other proper clearance outwards of such ship as may be required by the laws in force at such port or place, or if any goods appearing on such manifest or clearance be not on board, or duly accounted for, the master of such ship shall forfeit any sum not exceeding one hundred pounds.

And with respect to any ship arriving coastwise at any port in the Colony with any goods therein laden at any place beyond the seas, the like report shall, within twenty-four hours after arrival of such ship, be made of such ship and goods by the master of such ship as would be required if such ship had arrived direct from parts beyond the seas.

XLI. If such master shall wilfully fail to make such report according to the particulars hereinbefore required, so far as the same are applicable to such ship, cargo, and voyage, or if the particulars or any of them contained in such report be false, such master shall forfeit the sum of one hundred pounds.

XLII. Goods not duly reported may be detained by any officer of customs until the same shall be so reported, and the cause of the omission explained to the satisfaction of the Commissioner, who may thereupon order the said goods to be restored on such terms as he may think proper; and such goods may in the meantime, should the Commissioner deem necessary, be taken to the Queen's warehouse.

XLIII. The captain, master, purser, or other person in charge of any ship, having commission from Her Majesty or from any foreign State, having on board any goods laden in parts beyond the seas, shall on arrival at any port in the Colony, and before any part of such goods be taken out of such ship, or when called upon so to do by any officer of the customs, deliver an account in writing under his hand to the best of his knowledge of the quality, and quantity of every package or parcel of such goods, and of the marks and numbers thereon, and of the names of the respective shippers and consignees of the same; and shall make and subscribe a declaration at the foot of

such account declaring to the truth thereof, and shall also truly answer to the collector such questions concerning such goods as shall be required of him, and on failure thereof, such captain, master, purser, or other person, shall forfeit the sum of one hundred pounds, and all such ships shall be liable to such searches as merchant ships are liable to, and the officers of the customs may freely enter and go on board all such ships, and bring from thence on shore into the Queen's warehouse any goods found on board such ships as aforesaid, subject nevertheless to such regulations in respect of ships of war belonging to Her Majesty as shall from time to time be directed in that respect by the Governor.

XLIV. The master of every ship arriving from parts beyond the seas shall at the time of making such report deliver to the collector the manifest of the cargo of such ship (where a manifest is requisite) and also, if thereunto required, the bill of lading, or a copy thereof, for every part of the cargo laden on board, and shall answer all such questions relating to the ship, cargo, crew, and voyage, as shall be put to him by such collector, and in case of failure or refusal to answer such questions, or to answer truly, or to produce any such manifest, bill of lading, or copy, or if any such manifest, bill of lading, or copy, shall be false, or if any manifest or bill of lading be uttered or produced by any master, and the goods expressed therein respectively shall not have been bona fide shipped on board such ship, or if any manifest or bill of lading, uttered or produced by any master shall not have been signed by him, or any such copy shall not have been received or made by him previously to his leaving the place where the goods expressed in such manifest bill of lading or copy were shipped, or if after the arrival of any ship within one league of the coast of the Colony, bulk shall be broken, or any alteration made, in the stowage of the cargo of such ship, so as to facilitate the unlading of any part of such cargo, or if any part be staved, destroyed, or thrown overboard, or any package be opened, unless accounted for to the satisfaction of the Commissioner, in every such case such master shall forfeit the sum of one hundred pounds.

XLV. If the contents of any package intended for exportation in the same ship, or for transhipment, shall be reported by the master as being unknown to him, the officers of the customs may open and examine such package on board, or bring the same to the Queen's warehouse for that purpose, and if there be found in such package any goods which are prohibited to be imported, such goods shall be forfeited, unless the commissioner shall permit them to be exported.

AS TO THE ENTRY OF DUTIABLE GOODS TO BE DELIVERED FOR HOME CONSUMPTION ON THE LANDING THEREOF FROM THE IMPORTING SHIP:

XLIX. If after any goods shall have been duly entered and landed to be warehoused, though not actually deposited in the warehouse, the importer shall further duly enter the same, or any part thereof, for home use or exportation, the same may be delivered and taken for home use or exportation as the case may be.

AS TO THE ENTRY OF GOODS FREE OF DUTY:

L. The importer of any goods not subject to duties of customs, or his agent, shall deliver to the collector a bill of entry of such goods, in the same manner and form, and containing the same particulars as herein before required on the entry of dutiable goods, so far as the same is applicable; and such bill of entry, when signed by the collector, shall be transmitted to the proper officer, and be his warrant for the delivery of the goods mentioned therein.

AS TO THE ENTRY OF GOODS LANDED FOR EXAMINATION BY BILL OT SIGHT, AND PERFECTING ENTRY THEREOF:

LI. The importer of any goods, or his agent, if unable, for want of full information, to make a perfect entry of such goods, on making and subscribing a declaration to that effect before the collector, may make an entry by bill of sight for the packages or parcels of such goods in the form contained in the third schedule to this Act, or to the same effect, and containing the several particulars indicated or required thereby.

LII. Such entry, being delivered to the collector and signed by him, shall be the warrant for provisionally landing such goods to be examined by such importer in the presence of the proper officers; and the importer shall, within three days after the landing thereof, and before the same shall be delivered, make full and perfect entry thereof, by endorsing upon such bill of sight such particulars of such goods as are hereinbefore required on making perfect entry of goods, whether for payment of duty, or for warehousing or for delivery free of duty, as the case may be, and to such endorsement he shall affix the date thereof, together with his signature and place of abode; and such endorsement, when signed by the collector, shall be taken as a perfect entry for such goods.

LIII. Where an entry for the landing and examination of goods for delivery on payment of duty shall be made by bill of sight, such goods shall not be delivered until perfect entry thereof shall have been made and the duties thereon paid unless the importer or his agent shall have deposited with the proper officer of the customs a sum of money
