 amend his report ; but the necessary discharging of any goods for the 

 purpose of lightening the vessel, in order to pass any shoal or other-

 therein all the goods in such package shall be seized and forfeited.

 this Colony to any port of entry therein, and not landed, but it is 

 intended to convey such goods to some other port in this Colony in 

 the same vessel, there to be landed, the duty shall not be paid or the 

 entry completed at the first port, but at the port where the goods are 

 to be landed, and to which they shall be conveyed accordingly under 

 such regulations, and with such security or precautions for compli-

 from time to time directs.

 which the goods are imported, and of what country or place such

 goods. Unless the goods are to be warehoused in the manner by this 

 Act provided, the importer shall at the same pay down, or cause to be 

 paid down, or otherwise secure all duties upon all goods entered in- 

 wards, and the said officer shall thereupon grant his warrant for the 

 unlading of such goods, and grant a permit for the conveyance of 

 such goods further into this Colony, if so required by the importer.
