§ COLONEL HOWARD VINCENTI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he will give the names of the consignees of the 6,000 German chisels recently seized at Leith, fraudulently marked as English goods, having regard to the strong presumption that they were so marked by order of the importers?
§ MR. BRYCEHaving communicated with the Commissioners of Customs, they inform me that they do not desire to give the names of the consignees of the chisels. It would be undesirable, in the absence of evidence that the consignees were parties to the fraud, to publish their names.
§ COLONEL HOWARD VINCENTAm I not justified in stating that no Sheffield firm was concerned in this contraband importation?
