States, in order to the landing or delivery thereof; and the duties 

 on such of the said goods only as shall be landed in any district, shall 

 be paid or secured to be paid within such district. 



SEC. 20. And be it further enacted, That before any ship or vessel 

 shall depart from the district in which she shall first arrive, for an- 

 other district, with goods, wares or merchandise brought in such ship 

 or vessel from a foreign port or place, the duties whereof shall not 

 have been paid or secured, the master or person having the charge or 

 command of such ship or vessel, shall obtain from the collector of the 

 district from which she shall be about to depart (who is hereby re- 

 quired to grant the same) a copy of the report made by such master 

 or person having the charge or command of such ship or vessel, certi- 

 fied by the said collector, together with a certificate of the quantity 

 and particulars of the goods which shall appear to him to have been 

 landed within his district. And within twenty-four hours after the 

 arrival of such ship or vessel within any other district, the said mas- 

 ter or person having the charge or command of such ship or vessel 

 shall make report or entry to or with the collector of such other dis- 

 trict, producing and showing the said certified copy of his said first 

 report, together with a certificate from each collector of any other 

 district within which any of the goods, wares or merchandise brought 



in such ship or vessel shall have been before landed, of the 

 781 quantity and particulars of such of the said goods, wares and 



merchandise as shall have been so landed in each district re- 

 spectively; except in the state of Georgia, where such report shall be 

 made within forty-eight hours: Provided always, that the master or 

 person having the charge or command of the said ship or vessel shall 

 first give bond with one or more sureties to the satisfaction of the col- 

 lector of the district within which the said ship or vessel shall fir=t 

 arrive, in a sum equal to the amount of the duties on the residue of 

 the said goods, according to such estimate as the said collector shall 

 form thereof, with condition that the said residue of the said goods 

 shall be duly entered and delivered in such other district or districts 

 of the United States, for which the same shall have been reported to 

 be destined. And the said bond shall be cancelled or discharged bv 

 the production of a certificate or certificates from the collector or col- 

 lectors of the district or districts for which the said goods shall have 

 been reported, testifying the due entry and delivery of the said goods 

 in such district or districts, or upon due proof to the satisfaction of 

 the collector by whom the said bond shall have been taken, that such 

 entry and delivery were prevented by some unavoidable accident or 

 casualty, and that if the whole or any p*art of the said goods shall not 

 have been lost, that the same has been duly entered and delivered 

 within the United States. And if the master or person having charge 

 or command of any such ship or vessel, shall fail by his neglect or 

 fault to obtain the said copy of his said report from the collector of 

 the district from which he shall be so about to depart, or of any cer- 

 tificate which he ought to obtain as aforesaid, or shall neglect to pro- 

 duce and show the same to the collector of any other district to which 

 the said ship or vessel shall afterwards proceed, within the time for 

 that purpose herein before specified, he shall forfeit and pay for 

 every such neglect or omission five hundred dollars.
