§ MR. SEXTONasked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether it is the law that a master of a merchant vessel, 744 bound foreign, leaving an Irish, port, and having to call at another Irish, or a British port, for orders or otherwise, before proceeding on his voyage, is not allowed to take on board the ship's stores of excisable articles unless at the port lie clears out from; or whether he may take the stores on board at the former port on condition that they remain under seal until after he has cleared out?
§ MR. COURTNEYAs I understand the case put by the hon. Member, the vessel would be allowed, under conditions, to take on board dutiable goods at any British port, provided the clearance is for a foreign port. Of course, English and Irish ports are all equally "home" ports.
