The Lords of the Treasury decided, that under the Act of Union, no articles whatever should be charged with a higher duty in Ireland than in England, and if therefore

WOOD, viz. Deals, continued.

in any case Deals imported into Ireland would, according to the
graduated scale in use in that country, be charged with a higher
rate of duty than Deals of the same dimensions imported into
England, the duty should be reduced so as to be equal only to
that charged in England.-Treas. Order, 11th, and Min. Com.
Cus. 12th Aug. 1826.

Deals and Timber used in Mines. For and in respect of
all Deals and Timber hereinafter described, being of
the growth of Norway, and imported direct from
thence, and used in the Mines of Tin, Lead, or Copper,
in the counties of Devon or Cornwall, or in Ireland,
and on which the Duties of Customs shall have been
paid, there shall be allowed and paid the several
drawbacks hereinafter mentioned; (that is to say),
on any such Deals, being above seven inches in
width, eight feet in length, and not above ten feet in
length, and not exceeding one inch and a half in
thickness, for every 120, Drawback £4
And on any such Timber being five inches square,
and not exceeding ten inches square, for every load
containing fifty cubic feet, Drawback £2 5 3

The several drawbacks hereby allowed in respect of such deals and timber so used, shall be paid to the owner of any such Mine under the following regulations; (that is to say,) the purser, agent, or captain of any such mine, intending to claim the drawback under this act, shall enter or cause to be entered in a book to be kept for that purpose, an account of the quantity of such Deals and Timber used in such mine, stating of whom purchased, and at what port the same were stated by the vendor to have been imported; and at the end of each year or half year, (viz., 5th April and 10th October,) he shall deliver an account thereof to the collector or comptroller of the customs of the port where the duty upon such Deals and Timber shall have been stated to have been paid, and shall make oath before him to the truth of such account, and shall, if required by such collector or comptroller, produce the cost-book of such mine.-6 Geo. IV., c. 113, § 13; and 10 Geo. IV. c. 43, § 18.

The person or his agent who shall have supplied the said Deals and Timber, shall make oath before the collector or comptroller, to the truth of his account for the same; and referring to the importation and payment of duties, shall further make oath, that the Deals and Timber so supplied, according to such account, are the identical Deals and Timber for which the duties of customs had been so paid; and thereupon the collector and comptroller being satisfied that such Deals and Timber were supplied for the use of such mine, and that the full duties of customs had been paid thereon, a debenture shall be issued for the payment of the drawback allowed by this act.-6 Geo. IV., c. 113, § 14.

But if the purser, agent, or captain of such mine shall deliver any false account of the quantity of Deals or Timber used and employed, with an intent to defraud his Majesty, such purser, agent, or captain shall, on being convicted of any such offence, for the first offence forfeit the sum of 2007., and for every second or further offence, the sum of 4007., to be sued for within three months after the delivery of the account. § § 15.
