Whereas it is expedient that an additional Duty should he paid unto His Majesty on all Spirits and Tobacco which shall be imported into the Isle of Man under Licence, be it therefore enacted by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same, That on the Importation of any Spirits and Tobacco under any Licence granted by the Commissioners of His Majesty's Customs in England and Scotland respectively, pursuant to the Provisions of an Act passed in the Forty-fifth Year of His late Majesty's Reign, intituled, "An Act for regulating and encouraging the Trade, for. the Improvernent of the Revenue, and Prevention of Smuggling in and from the Isle of Man," there shall be raised, collected, and paid unto His Majesty, His Heirs and Successors, an additional Duty of One Shilling and Sixpence for every GalIon of Brandy and Geneva, and an additional Duty of One Shilling for every Gallon of Rum, and so in Proportion for any greater or less Quantity, and an additional Duty of One Shilling upon every Pound Weight of Tobacco, and so in Proportion for any greater or less Quantity, in like Manner and Form, and under the same Rules, Regulations, and Forfeitures as are imposed by the said recited Act, and by another Act passed in the Fiftieth Year of His said late Majesty's Reign, intituled, "An Act for consolidating the Duties of Customs for the Isle of Man, and for placing the same under the Management of the Commissioners of Customs in England," and by a further Act passed in the Fifty-first Year of His said late Majesty's Reign, intituled, "An Act for explaining and amending an Act passed in the last Session of Parliament for consolidating the Duties of Customs for the Isle of Man, and for placing the same under the Management of the Commissioners of Customs in England."

II.–And whereas by the afore-recited Act, passed in the Forty-fifth Year of His said late Majesty's Reign, it is lawful for the Commissioners of His Majesty's Customs in England and Scotland respectively, or any Four of them, and they are hereby required (if the same shall be lawfully demanded under the Authority of the said Act so to do), to grant their Licences for the Importation into the Port of Douglas, in the Isle of Man, of certain Quantities of Wine, Brandy, Geneva, Rum, Tea, Coffee, and Tobacco: And whereas it is expedient to allow a limited Quantity of Muscovado Sugar to be imported into the said Port of Douglas, and to permit the same to be shipped directly from the Warehouse in which the same may have been secured in Great Britain, without the Duties due on the Importation thereof being first paid; and also a limited Number of Packs of Playing Cards to be imported into the said Port; be it therefore further enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for the Commissioners of His Majesty's Customs in England, or any Four of them, to grant their Licences, under the Rules, Regulations and Provisions of the said recited Act, for the Importation into the [508] Port of Douglas, in the Isle of Man, of Five thousand five hundred Weight of Muscovado Sugar, and Four thousand Packs of Playing Cards, and no more, in any one Year, in British-built Ships, owned, registered, and navigated according to Law, and not of less Burthen than Fifty Tons.

III.–And be it further enacted, That any such Sugar, intended to be imported into the said Port of Douglas by Virtue of any such Licence, shall and may be taken out of any Warehouse or Warehouses wherein the same may have been lodged or secured, without Payment of Duty, for the Purpose of being so imported as aforesaid; any Thing in any Act or Acts to the contrary notwithstanding.

IV.–And whereas by another Act passed in the Fiftieth Year of the Reign of His said late Majesty, intituled, "An Act for consolidating the Duties of Customs for the Isle of Man, and for placing the same under the Management of the Commissioners of Customs in England," Muscovado Sugar and Playing Cards, as being Goods, Wares and Merchandize not therein-before charged with Duty, imported from Great Britain or Ireland, is made liable, by Schedule A. annexed to the said Act, to the Duty of Two Pounds and Ten Shillings for every One hundred Pounds of the Value thereof: And whereas it is expedient to make other Provision in respect of the said Duty on Muscovado Sugar imported into the said Island by Virtue of any Licence granted in Pursuance of this Act, be it therefore further enacted, That from and after the Fifth Day of July One thousand eight hundred and twenty, in lieu and instead of the aforesaid Duty of Two Pounds and Ten Shillings, there shall be raised, levied, collected, and paid the Sum of One Shilling. for every Hundred and twelve Pounds Weight of Muscovado Sugar so imported, which said One Shilling shall be raised, levied, collected, paid and applied, and the said Duty of Two Pounds and Ten Shillings upon Playing Cards according to the Value thereof, shall continue to be collected, levied, paid, and applied in like Manner as the said Two Pounds and Ten Shillings was directed by the afore-recited Act, and another Act passed in the Fifty-first Year of His said late Majesty's Reign, intituled, "An Act for explaining and amending an Act passed in the last Session of Parliament for consolidating the Duties of Customs for the Isle of Man, and for placing the same under the Management of. the Commissioners of Customs in England:" Provided always, that on the Importation of any such Sugar and Playing Cards into the Isle of Man pursuant to this Act, all the Rules, Regulations, Restrictions, Securities, Penalties, and Forfeitures contained in any Act or Acts of Parliament in force relating to Goods so exported or imported, and to the Payment, Recovery, and Appropriation of any Fine, Penalty, or Forfeiture relating thereto, and all the Clauses, Provisions, Regulations, Restrictions; Penalties, and Forfeitures contained in any Act or Acts or Laws in force in Relation to the Isle of Man, shall so far as they are not hereby altered or varied, and in respect of which no other Provision is made by this Act, be and are hereby declared to be in full force and to extend to this Act, and shall be construed therewith and as Part thereof, so far as the same respectively apply, as fully as if the same were particularly repealed and re-enacted in the Body of this Act.

V.–And whereas by another Act passed in the Seventh Year of the Reign of His said late Majesty King George the Third, intituled, "An Act for encouraging and regulating the Trade and Manufactures of the Isle of Man, and for the more easy Supply of the Inhabitants there with a certain Quantity of Wheat, Barley, Oats, Meal, and Flour, authorized by an Act made in this Session to be transported to the said Isle," it is enacted, that no Tea, or Spirits of any Kind whatsoever, or Tobacco, may be exported or shipped, or laden on Board any Ship, Vessel, or Boat, in order to be exported from the Isle of Man to any Place whatsoever. And whereas the [509] Provisions in the said Acts have been found insufficient to prevent the illegal Exportation of the aforesaid Articles: Be it enacted, That if any Tea, Spirits of any Kind whatsoever, or Tobacco, shall be brought to or found on any Wharf, or other Place, with Intent to be Waterborne for Exportation, the same shall be forfeited, together with the Horses or other Cattle, Carts or other Carriages, employed in removing the same, to be seized by any Officer or Officers of the Army, Navy, Marines, or Customs.
