 who may be authorized to act in the Execution thereof, that all the 

 Statutes now in force relating to the Customs should be repealed, 

 and that the Purposes for which they have from time to time been 

 nade should be secured by new Enactments, exhibiting more perspic-

 to the Trade of the British Possessions abroad will be repealed ; and

Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords
