LIVERPOOL DOCKS,----Provisions of New Act
_ of Parliament.

The Dock Trustees think it right to intimate to the Commer-
cial Public that the New Dock Act has come into operation, and
contains the following additional provisions with reference to
general management.
Imported goods left on the Dock Quays longer than 48 hours
after landing, and goods for Export or other purposes remaining
on the Quays so as to cause obstruction, may now (as was before
the case with respect to Timber) be removed and warehoused by
the Trustees, and can be restored to their owners only on the pay-
ment of expenses, and in case of default there is a power of sale
for recovering such expenses. This additional remedy is, more-
over. not to affect the former law as respects penalties.
All vessels are now required to keep such a quantity of cargo
or ballast on board as to enable them to be forthwith removed in
safety, in case of accident, or when required for despatch of
business. Penalty £SC.
The Harbour and Dock Masters have now also the power of
and in case of neglect may themselves remove the same, charging
directing the removal of vessels in a Dock, or from one Dock to
another, and their position, loading and discharging therein,
the owners with the expenses.
Vesselse
s
dues paid, or damages satisfied.
Under former Acts the Shipowner had a lien for freight on
.ons
damagingwhich a
Dockny to tonnage o
works, r
may other
now dues
be may
detained be
until
and
goods discharged into the Dock Warehouses, in the same manner
as if they had remained in the ship, but doubts have been enter-
tained whether this privilege extended to any other his lawful
claims of lien, such as for salvage, jettison, and in cases of dis-
puted rights of property, &c. This doubt is now removed, to
the considerable benefit of Shipowners.
The Harbour and Dock Masters are now protected in the exe-
cution of their duty, by the imposition of a penalty of ,elO on all
persons obstructing or impeding them, or disobeying their lawful
orders, or using abusive or offensive language.
Additional powers have been given for facilitating the collection
of Dock Dues, and preventing evasion. The 60th and 125th Sec-
tions of the Customs Act of 1853, providing for the delivery to the
Collector within fourteen days next after the discharge inwards,
and the clearance outwards, of all vessels at Liverpool, correct
lists or manifests (in the former case), and transcripts of mani-
fests (in the latter case), comprising full particulars of all free
goods imported or exported, are now repealed as respects the
Customs, and re-enacted in the Dock Act, with the addition of
being extended to all goods, whether dutiahle or free. It will be
necessary, therefore, to take notice, that from and after this day
all such lists, &c., are to be deposited, not at the Custom-house,
as heretofore, but at the Dock Office, and it is requested that they
may be so deposited at the " Check Office," on the ground floor
of that building, where they are now examined by clerks expressly
appointed to such duty. The penalty (.e2O) for not duly deliver-
ing such lists, &c., is also made to attach, not, as before, to the
wilful evasion only of such dues, but to any neglect or omission to
pay them, and may be enforced as well against principals in houses
of business as their clerks or servants, and the magistrate on the
hearing of any complaint is empowered to call for the production
of cargo books, bills of lading, or other documents relating to the
cargo of any ship mentioned in•such complaint.—By order of the
Dock Committee, DANIEL MASON, Secretary.
