In lieu and instead of the Duties of Customs imposed by the Acts above mentioned, and of all other Duties of Customs upon goods, vvares and merchandise imported into this Province there shall be raised, levied, collected and paid unto Her Majest'v Her AS ACT TO AMBM) THR LAW Heirs anrl Successors, upon goods, wares and merchandise im- ported into this Province, or taken out of warehouse for con- sum[)tiou therein, the several Duties of Customs respectively inserted, descriljed and set forth in the Table in the Schedule to this Act annexed, intituled, " Table of Duties of ('ustoms In- wards ;'' And the articles enumerated or mentioned in the Table in the said Scdiedule, intituled, "Table of Free Goods," may be imported or taken out of warehouse without payment of any Duty of Customs under this Act; — And the articles enumerated or mentioned in the Tal)le in the said Schedule, intituled, " Table of Prohibitions," shall not be imported into this Province under the penalty therein mentioned, and if imported shall bo forfeited and forthwith destroyed : Provided always, that nothing herein contained shiiU repeal or affect the Act passed in the Session held in the thirteenth and fourteenth years of Her Majesty's lleign, and intituled, "An Act to impose a duty on Foreign Reprints of British Copyright AYorks," or any duty imposed or to be imposed under it. HI. The importation of goods exempt from duty under this Act, and all matters relating there to, shall l)e subject to such regulations as the frovernor in Council shall make for the pur- pose of preventing fraud or al)use under pretext of such exemp- tion, nor shall such exemption prevent the forfeiture of such goods for any breach of the Customs Laws or of any regulations lawfully made under them. IV. is'othing in this Act shall [)re vent the effect of the two Acts hereinafter cited, so as to charge any article with duty while it is exempt from duty under either of them ; — but the fifth Section of the said Act, passed in the eighteenth year of Her Majesty's Reign, and intituled, " An Act to amend the Acts imposing Duties of Customs," is repealed as aforesaid, and if under the provisions of the Act passed in the eighteenth year of Her Ma- jesty's Reign, and intituled, "An Act for giving effect on the part of this Province to a certain Treaty between Her Majesty and the United States of America," the Governor of this Province shall at any time declare the suspension of the Treaty in the said Act mentioned, then, while such suspension shall continue, -the several articles mentioned in the Schedule to the said Act, heing the growth and produce of the said United States, shall be respectively subject to (he duties imposed on like articles by this Act or by any other Act then in force, bu;: if no duty be so im- posed, then they shall be admitted free : And if under the pro- visions of the Act passed the Session held in the thirteenth and fourteenth years of Her Majesty's Reign, and intituled, " An Act to facilitate Reciprocal Free Trade between this Province and the other British North American Provinces," the Governor in Coun- cil shall at any time declar -^ that any article whatever when of k^ RELATIVE TO IHTUKH OK CUSTOMS, AC. the growth, produce or nmnufucturc of the Jiritisli North Ameri- can Provinces or Possessions in the said Act niciitioned, or of any one or more of them, is not, or is not under certain circum- stances, odmissibleinto this Province free of duty, then the duty on such article when it is not admissible fr"e, shall 1h' that im- posed on the like article by this Act or by ni y other Act then in force, but if no duty be so imposed, tiicn it shall be admitted free. V. Whereas by the eighth, eleventh, twjll'th and other sections of the said Act, passed in the twell'h year of Her Majesty's lU'iifn, and intituled. "An Act to amend .ae Law relative to Duties of Customs,'' certain oaths or atlirmations in the Schedule U to the said Act are in certain cases required to be taken, and two of the said oaths or alHrniations (being the lirst and fourth in the said Schedule) may, under the terms thereof, be taken by an agent, not being the owner, importer or consignee of the {.>oods to be entered, and a practice luio arisn of employing as Agents, Clerks and other parties, to make entries and to take the said oaths or affirmations, who have not the p-^rsonal knowledge requisite to enable them to take the same so as to meet the intent and pur- pose of the said Act, and the Revenue and the fair trader have been hereby injured : It is therefore macted as follows : 1 Ilerealter, no person other than the owner, consignee or im- porter of the goods of which entry is to be made, shall be allow- ed to take any oath or affirmation, unless there be attached to the Bill of Entry there in referred to, a declaration by the owner, consignee or importer of the said goods, (or his legal represen- tative under section ten of the said Act, ) to the same oHect as the oath or affirmation, (adapting the form and words to the case,) dis- tinctly referring to the Invoice presented ,vith such Bill of Kntry, and signed by such owner, importer or consignee, (or his legal representative,) either in presence of the agent making the entry, who shall attest the signature, or of some .Justice of the Peace or Notary Public, who shall attest the same ; and such declaration shall be kept by the Collector, who may detach the same from the Invoice, if the latter be annexed thereto and be not left with him ; and for any wilfully false statement in such declaration, the person making the same shall incur the same penalty as if it were made in the oath or affirmation.

It shall be lawful for the Governor in Council by Regula- tion to authorize the alteration of any of the forms of oaths or affirmations in the said Schedule, by abbreviating the same or omitting any of the allegations therein contained which may appear unnecessary ; .and any amended form prescribed by any 6 AN ACT TO AMEND THj: LAW such Regulation, shtill be of the same effect as the form in the said Schedule for which it is substituted, and shall thereafter be held to be the form reftrred to in the said Act and in this Act, and any such Regulation may from time to time be repealed or amended us othur Regulations in mutters relating to the Customs VI. In order to avoid injurious delay to steamers and otlier vessels under ocrtrtin circumstiinc?s, it slnill be hmful fur the Governor in Council to make such regulations as moy bo consi- dered advisable, for the appointment of Hufi'erance Wharves and Warehouses, at which goods arriving by .« jhall be prescribed by regulatious to bo made by the Governor in Council from time to time. IX. The foregoing proviaions of tiiia Act shall be construed u8 forming one f^aw with tlie Act passed in th"^ Session held in the tenth and eleventh years of iJer Majesty's Reign, chaptorc d thirty- one, and intituled, " An Act for repealing and consolidating the present Duties of Customs in this Province, and for oth; i pur- poses therein mentioned,'.' and with the Acts herein bcfo''e cited amending the same, in so far as they are in force and consistent with this Act: And all words and expressions used in the said provisions shall have the meaning assigned to them in the said Acts, and all the provisions of the said Acts with regard to the duties imposed by them, or the regulations to be made under them, shall api)ly to the duties imi)osed by .is Act, an(l the regulations to be made under it, except in so far as may be in- cohsistent with thi.s Act.
