* VESSELS BRINGING FLOUR AND MALT.-The following decisions have taken place, as regards vessels being wholly or nearly laden with those articles, viz. :-Any vessel whose cargo shall consist only of Flour and Malt.-Treas. Order, 30 March, 1818. Any Vessel whose Cargo shall principally consist of Corn and Flour.-Min. Com. Cus. 15 Dec. 1828; and by Min. Com. Cus., 6 Jan. 1831, the dock duty paid on four Vessels nearly laden with Flour from Liverpool, was remitted.

The foregoing duties were imposed for the purpose of defraying the charges of certain improvements in the Port of London, for the greater convenience of Trade and Shipping, and for raising a fund for future contingent expenses. When a sufficient sum shall have been raised, the duties are to cease.—39 Geo. III. (Local) c. 69.,; 43 Geo. III. (Local) c. 124.
