SPECIAL REVENUE REPORTS.

PORT OF LONDON.
TO TUE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS COMMIS'

SIONERS 01.7 HIS MAJESTY'S TREASURY

The Seventh Report of the Commissioners appointed by His
Royal Highness the Prince Regent, to inquire into the ex_
isting. Regulations for the conduct of the Business in every
department of the Customs, and of the Impoja and Export
Departments okhe Excise ; with a view to suggest such al-
terations therein, as may be considered necessary for facilitat-
ing the dispatch of Business, for affording accommodation to
Trade, and for securing and improving the Revenue.
WAREHOUSING SYSTEM
East Country Docks, Commercial Docks, Surrey Canal, and
.Sufferance Wharfs.
In our Second Report to your Lordships, we took a general
views of the origin and present •state of the Warehousing Sys-
tern. We afterwards, in our. Fifth and Sixth Reports, laid be-
fore-yau the result of kr inquiries concerning the duties per.
formed
.by the several officers employed at the principal este*
blishments connected with that system; viz. the West India
DesekA, the London Docks, and the East India Department ;
and also concerning the regulations by which those establish-
•mentsare severally governed. In those Reports we submitted
• the'elterations and. improvemerts (some of them of considerable
im.portante) which appeared to us to be either_necessary or
useful for the public service; and it noW only remains for us,
in order to complete this branch of our inquiry, to lay before
your Lordships, in a 'similar manner, what has occurred to us
in the investigation of the existing practice at the East Country
Docks, the Commercial Docks, and the Surrey Canal, and also
at those places appointed for the receipt of goods, which are
denominated. Sufferance Wharfs, Legal Quays, and Up-town
Warehouses.
The two former of these arefor the deposit of Timber, Deals
anti European Woods, on which the duties are not paid in the
first instance; the latter are for the receipt and deliveries of
goods, and for the warehousing, under your Lordships' autho-
nty, of such articles as are not strictly confined to the several
establishments already noticed, by virtue of the Acts of Parlia-
ment in their behalf.
The revenue derived from the duties on -Timber, Deals and
Wood, is of considerable magnitude, and it is therefore of
consequence that it should be carefuaiy ascertained and col-
lected.
In this particular we find that a laxity in practice has pre-
vailed, whereby too much of the managementand responsibility
of the service has been allowed to devolve upon inferior officers.
The duty upon Wood being charged upon the solid contents
thereof, the measurement of the articles should not only be al-
ways made by expert officers, but those officers should them-
selves be checked and controlled by a vigilant superintendence.
At present this is not the case. The officer appointed, under
the name of Timber Measurer, for this service, leaves it in many
(and as it appears to us in most) cases, to be performed by a
person denominated an Assistant Measurer, and who is, in
point of fact, only one of the, Tidewaiters, an inferior class of
officers.
Wo arc of opinion, that this practice should be reformed ;
that a Timber Measurer should always be stationed at each of
the places where Bonded Timber is deposited, and that a con-
trolling officer, to check the conduct of these persons, should
be in regular attendance.
In the collection of the duties on Deals, Battens and Staves,
it also appears to us that the present practice is materially de-
fective. These duties are levied both 'upon the_ number•and
the dimensions.Of the pieces, and the particulars are ascertained
by the Tidesman only, who is.elected from the general nurn-
berfor that purpose, and stationedion board the importing ves-
sel. This• man enters in a book, the account which he takes of
the goods, and it is from this book that the Landing Waiter
(termed in this department, the Boat Officer) derives his whole
knowledge of the quantitiesofthmaods liable to duty ; whereas,
he being really the delivering ofEcer ought, in our judgment,
to ascertain those particulars himself, and be held responsible
for doing it carefully and correctly.
With a view to establish a check upon'the proceedings of this
branch of the service, we find that the Commissioners of Cus-
toms have recently. directed the occasional remeasurement of
Timber by the Assistant Surveyor of the department ; but we
have learnt at the same time, and with some surprise, that the
duty so ordered to be performed, has been delegated by the
Assistant to a Locker, an officer inferior in rank to the one
whose conduct he is to control.
Another instance of this • improper delegation of important
functions in this department, has come before us in the case of
the Landing Surveyors who being appointed to superintend the •
conduct of the Landingl Waiters have thrown upon an as-
sistant, who has been allowed to them, the most essential and
efficient partof their duties.
It is needless for us to point out to your Lordships' attention
how-pernicious this system of substitution must prove to the
pubhc service' in all cates'of duty or responsibility, but more.
especially in those of superintendence and control over the con=
duct of others, and. how much the interests of the Revenue are
concerned in the vigilant prevention, by the Commissioners, of
an abuse:to which there is naturally so strong an inclination
among their subordinate officers.
Raving offered these general observations upon points of
practice which have appeared to us to require additional at-
tention and amendment, we shall proceed, without' entering
into a more detailed examination of the duties of-each officer
occupied in the department now, under our consideration, to
suggest to your Lordships some specific regulations, by which
weconceive that it would be matenally.improved.
First :—We think that a Landing Surveyor should be sdec-
ted and specially appointed to superintend and control the eon-
duct of all the officers or persons employed by the Custonis in
this branch, comprising the Commercial and East Country
Docks and the Surrey Canal, whether in the assessment of
duties, or in the care and custody of goods warehoused under
bond ; that he should be responsible for enforcing the regular
attendance of all these persons, as well as the punctual and care-
ful discharge of their several duties, and for reporting all cases
of miseonduct, or of inattention or neglect, to the Com-
missioners. It should be an instruction to this officer to in-
spect frequently the books of the delivering officers, and to
check their accuracYfrom time to time by the re-examination
of goods • and also as a check upon his own conduct, to note in
those books the times when . he has inspected them, whether he
is satisfied with their accuracy, and -in 'case of re-examination
of goods, what has been the result thereof.
We think also, that an officer of the same description, and
vested with similar powers, should be appointed to superintend
the business conducted at the Sufferance 'Wharfs.
Secondly :—We recommend that the duty of the officer now
acting as assistant to the Landing Surveyors be confined to what
are termed the " Up-town Warehouses," and to those places
where goods are deposited under bond, either in warehouses
enjoining to the legal quays, or at other places not included in
either of the 'preceding divisions.
Thirdly :—We submit that the office of Assistant should' be
'discontinued, and that a Surveyor of 'Warehouses should 'be
appointed, who should be liable to such responsibility, and sub-'
Jett to such regulations'as before recommended with respect to
the Landing Surveyor. •
In addition to these specific 'appointments and changes, there
are some points of practicein this department to which we think
it necessary to direct the consideration of your Lordships,' in
order that you may issue such instructions thereupon to 'the
Commissioners of Customs, as may appear to be necessary.
The goods intended to be deposited what are called Up-
town. Warehouses, are. landed either at the London Docks, or
at the legal quays. •
In the transit from the quay to the warehouse, they have
been frequently uncial- the guard 'of the lowest description of
persons as the service a. the Revenue. We recommend, that
in future, a weigher, either established or preferable, be always
empleyed in this duty. ;
The receipt, the custody, and the final discharge of the goods
in these warehouses, is intrusted to the care of Lockers, who
are at present condoned in -the warehouse as long as any goods
are there deposited,..
The Revenue is not sufficiently protected under this arrange-
ment. We recommend, in the first place, that these officers be
changed at least once in tWomonths ; and further, that the Su-
perintendent of this branch be very strictly enjoined to visit
the warehouses frequently, to look to the state of the packages,
to re-en .amine the• goods occasionally wherever. there may be
grounds for suspicion, and to note-all his proceedings in that
particular in the books of the Locker in charge of them. All
these r. reedu dons. would belong to any well-regulated system,
atud theparemore particularly-called for in the Up-town WaIL-
