PORT REGULATIONS—MARSEILLES.
NOTICE TO SHIPOWNERS AND MASTERS.
BOARD OF TRADE, JuNE 5
The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade
have received a despatch from her Majesty's Acting Con-
sul at Marseilles, inclosing a letter from the Prefet of
that Department, notifying that, in consequence of the
Chamber of Commerce having called his attention to the
abuses which exist in the settlement of average expenses,
from the false statements often made by masters
of merchant vessels, he (the Prefet) has, in virtue
of a lavi, passed on the 2nd of July, 1856, decided
that in future the regulation shall be enforced compelling
masters of all vessels, and of whatever flag, if called up et,
to submit their log books to an officer of the Customs, im-
mediately on arriving at the Pea of Marseilles, in order
that such officer may sign the page where the writing ends,
and thus prevent the master from making any further ad-
dition thereto after his arrival in port;
Shipmasters trading to the port of Marseilles are accord-
ingly hereby cautioned to have their log books properly
written up before their arrival in port, and to produce
them when asked for, as, in case of damage to ship or
cargo, serious difficulty may otherwise be experienced in
the settlement of average.
