ORDINANCE,.
" We, the Governor-General of the Hanseatic de-
partments, having seen the reports which have been
made to us by the Special Council of the Customs;
considering that, for the purpose of annihilating fraud
in its last retreats, it is important to take measures
relative to the cockers or discharges which have been
issued by the Imperial Customs, in the proportion of
the colonial produce actually existing on the territory
of the empire, and imported from Helstein, confor-
mably to the decrees of October last ; considering,
also, that the retail sale of colonial pr!oduce cannot
be permitted to wholesale merchants, and that the
• continuance in their hands of the above discharges
affords means of nourishing fraud, by substituting
through means of the said discharges merchandize
fraudul,ntly entered or not declared, in the room
of those that have been already consumed ; ordain as
follsiws

gard to colonial product:, for what quantity soever,

ceding article, the merchants shall be bound to make

4. When a merchant shall have ceded all or part
of his stores to another merchant, he shall be bound
to make known the same, that the administration
may ascertain that the stores are carried over to the
.books of the person to whom the transfer is made.
