Time he makes his Report of his Cargo, deliver the said Certificate to the
Collector or other Principal Officer of the Customs, and make Oath before
him, that the Goods so reported are the same that are mentioned in the
said Certificate, on Forfeiture of One Hundred Pounds; and if any Rum
or Spirits, Sugars or Paneles, Molasses or Syrups, shall be imported or
found on Board any such Ship or Vessel, for which no such Certificate shall
be produced, or which shall not agree therewith, the same shall be deemed
and taken to be Foreign Rum and Spirits, Sugar and Paneles, Molasses
and Syrups, and shall be liable to the same Duties, Restrictions, Regulati-
ons, Penalties, and Forfeitures, in all Respects, as Rum, Spirits, Sugar,
Paneles, Molasses, and Syrups, of the Growth, Produce, or Manufacture, of any
Foreign Colony or Plantation, would respectively be liable to by Law.

Provided always, That if any Rum of Spirits, Sugar or Paneles, Molasses or
Syrups, shall be imported into Great Britain from any British Colony or Planta-
tion in America, without being included in such Certificate as is herein before
directed, and it shall be made to appear, to the Satisfaction of the Commissi-
oners of His Majesty’s Customs at London or Edinburgh respectively, that
the Goods are really and truly the Produce of such British Plantation or
Colony, and that no Fraud was intended, it shall and may in such Case be
lawful for the said respective Commissioners to permit the said Goods to
be entered, upon the Payment of the like Duties as such Goods would be
liable to if this Law had not been made.

And whereas by an Act of Parliament made in the Twelfth Year of the
Reign of King Charles the Second, intituled, An Act for encouraging and
increasing of Shipping and Navigation, and several subsequent Acts of Par-
liament which are now in Force, it is amongst other Things, directed, That
for every Ship or Vessel that shall load any Commodities, in those Acts
particularly enumerated, at any British Plantation, being the Growth, Pro-
duct, or Manufacture thereof, Bonds shall be given with Due Surety, to
the Value of One Thousand Pounds, if the Ship be of less Burthen
than One Hundred Tons, and of the Sum of Two Thousand Pounds;
if the Ship be of greater Burthen, that the same Commodities shall be
brought by such Ship or Vessel to some other British Plantation, or to
some Port in Great Britain; notwithstanding which, there is great Reason
to apprehend such Goods are frequently carried to Foreign Parts, and
landed there: And whereas great Quantities of Foreign Molasses and Sy-
rups are clandestinely run on Shore in the British Colonies, to the Preju-
dice of the Revenue, and the Great Detriment of the Trade of this King-
dom, and it’s American Plantations: To remedy which Practices for the
future, be it further enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That from and
after the Twenty ninth Day of September, One Thousand seven Hundred
and sixty four, Bond and Security, in the like Penalty, shall also be given
to the Collector or other principal Officer of the Customs at any Port or
Place in any of the British American Colonies or Plantations, with one
Surety besides the Master of every Ship or Vessel that shall lade or take on
Board there any Goods not particularly enumerated in the said Acts, being
the Product or Manufacture of any of the said Colonies or Plantations,
with Condition, that, in Case any Molasses or Syrups, being the Produce
of any of the Plantations, not under the Dominions of His Majesty, His
Heirs or Successors, shall be laden on Board such Ship or Vessel, the same
shall (the Danger of the Seas and Enemies excepted) be brought, without
Fraud or wilful Diminution, by the said Ship or Vessel to some of His
Majesty’s Colonies or Plantations in America, or to some Port in Great Britain;
and that the Master or other Person having the Charge of such Ship or Vessel,
shall, immediately upon his Arrival at every Port or Place in Great Britain,
or in the British American Colonies and Plantations, make a just and true
