ENTRY OF GOODS Inwards, continued.

HOLIDAYS.

No day shall be kept by the Customs, except Christmas Day and Good Friday, in every year; and any days appointed by his Majesty's proclamation for the purpose of a general fast or thanksgiving; and also, so far as regards Scotland, any days appointed for such purposes, by authority of the General Assembly; and also the anniversaries of the birth-day of their Majesties, and of their successors; and such days shall be kept as public holidays, by the officers and servants of all the Dock Companies in the United Kingdom.-2 and 3 Wm. IV., c. 54, § 2.

Prohibitions

and Restrictions.

The prohibitions and restrictions which are imposed by the laws in force, are all, as far as relate to particular goods imported into Great Britain and Ireland, fully stated in the following tables, under the head of each article; but as there are various prohibitions applicable to the entire produce of certain countries, reference must be made to the Act of Navigation in page 4, where all these general restraints and indulgences are brought together.

For the duty on goods not particularly described or charged with duty in alphabetical course, either specially by name, or under the general head to which they may belong,

as Bark, Berries, Essence, Extract, Gum, Skins, Wood, Wool, &c. see the two last articles in the Table of Duties on Foreign Goods Imported.

Goods not specifically rated.

The whole of the duties, drawbacks, &c., in the following Tables, were levied and granted by the 6 Geo. IV. c. 111, except where it is expressly stated to the contrary; and when that is the case, the date which immediately follows the act quoted, is the date on which the duty commenced.

the produce of places within the limits of the East India Company's Charter*, having been imported into Malta or Gibraltar in British ships, shall, upon subsequent importation into the United Kingdom direct from thence, be liable to the same duties as if imported direct from some place within the limits of the said Charter.-6 Geo. IV. c. 111, § 13.

tisfactions.

In all cases where goods have been seized or detained, and a forfeiture has been incurred, or where the officer has put a Fines and Sa- stop upon the Master's report, or where the master of a vessel, or any other person, is discovered by the officer as having rendered himself liable to a penalty under the Revenue Laws, and where proceedings are waived upon payment of a fine,-the officer is to be paid a third part thereof; but in all other cases the whole fine is to be carried to the Crown's share of fines and forfeitures. The Board, however, do not intend by this Minute to disturb the present practice of giving the officer the whole amount of any sum which may be awarded as satisfaction, on delivery of vessels or goods which may have been seized.-Min. Com. Cus., 1 Oct. 1829.

Seizures. In all cases of seizures under any Excise-law by officers of the Customs, the goods are to be conveyed to the nearest Excise Office.-Min. Com. Cus., 7 June, 1830.
