plete.

On an application of Messrs. Henry and Co., stating that on a recent importation of boxes they entered the same agreeably to the present practice, and paid the several rates of duty on the boxes, on the glass, and on the contents of the bottles; and requesting, as this mode of levying the duty has been found very inconvenient, that such articles may in future be admitted to entry, and charged with an ad valorem duty in their whole and complete state; and the Board being of opinion that it is inexpedient to charge the component parts of a manufactured article with different rates of duty which in itself is complete as merchandize; have ordered, that the present practice be discontinued, and that boxes containing perfumery in glass bottles, and other manufactured articles imported complete, such as work-boxes, fitted with glass, not otherwise enumerated or described; glass bottles, jewellery, and musical boxes; phosphorus boxes, with glass bottles; pen and ink cases, with glass bottles; and picture clocks, with gilt frames, provided the clock part of the picture forms the least valuable part; be in future admitted to entry at an ad valorem duty of 20 per cent., as unrated manufactured articles.-Min.
