§ 18. Mr. MACQUISTENasked the President of the Board of Trade whether directions have now been given to the Customs to clear, on behalf of Mr. Meiklejohn, wine merchant, of 22, Jamaica 1643 Street, and Springburn Road, Glasgow, two parcels of wine, 10 pipes shipped per "Maria Augusta," motor vessel, from Lisbon to London, and 20 hogsheads per sailing vessel "Jorge," lying at the London docks for eight months in the one case and several months in the other?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANNo vessel named the "Maria Augusta" can be traced as having arrived in London in 1918 or 1919. The consignment in the "Jorge" is part of a cargo of 435 casks which was landed, examined and warehoused without any delay whatever. The vessel reported inwards only on the 25th February. Application for permission to remove Mr. Meiklejohn's consignment was granted as soon as it was received, and the casks may be at once removed.
