102 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. the London and India Docks Company, however, I have received a copy of its table of rates, charges, and regulations, and I transmit same for such use as it may serve. H. Clay Evans, Consul-General. London,, England, October 13,1901±. The above-mentioned table of rates, charges, and regulations of the London and India Docks Company is on file in the Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce and Labor, where it may be con sulted by persons interested. The following is a summary of the principal regulations respecting imported merchandise, as shown in that pamphlet: The docks of this company are known as the London Docks, St. Katherine Docks, West India Docks, Southwest India Dock, East India Docks, Royal Victoria Dock, Royal Albert Dock. Tilbury Docks, and Town Warehouses. Certain goods which are considered dangerous or hazardous are only allowed to pass over the quays direct from ship to conveyance. In order to prevent loss of time in landing, sampling, etc., consignees should give directions for the entry at the custom-house, as soon as the ship is reported, of goods intended for warehousing with the Docks Company. When goods are ordered to be entered for or removed to another of the company’s docks for housing or where the Docks Company is unable to warehouse the goods where the vessel discharges, a charge for “ quay accommodations at the dock of dis charge” will be made of from 2 shillings (48 cents) to 3 shillings (72 cents) per ton, according to the nature of the goods (in addition to the rates payable at the dock where the goods are stored), unless the orders to land are lodged at the dock where the vessel discharges before the goods are discharged, so that the company can obtain them direct overside from the vessel into craft. Lighterage or removal expenses (will be. chargeable in addition when the rates on the goods are not sufficient to cover the expense. Bills of lading should be specially indorsed, so as to designate clearly the party to whose order the contents are to be delivered, and will be required to be produced in the following cases: Goods entered by the Docks Company, goods from places to the east of the Cape of Good Hope, goods from the West Indies or United States of America, unless the master of the import ship or the owner’s representative sanctions the delivery to the consignees named in the manifest. They will also be required for other goods and in other cases, unless the Docks Company is satisfied that the bills of lading have been produced or are not required as evidence of ownership. Particular attention is necessary to the regularity of the indorsement of bills of lading, as the officers of the Docks Company will not pass any bill on which the authority from the shipper to the holder is not deduced by a com plete and accurate chain of indorsement. In cases of informality in or loss of bills of lading provision is made for indemnifying the Docks Company. Orders lodged for the delivery or transfer of goods before the goods to which they relate have been landed will be received and held for the convenience of the persons lodging them only, but without liability. Previous to the transfer or issue of any warrants (except prime warrants), and before the delivery of any goods can take place, the rates and charges on the whole mark or parcel must be paid. When goods placed in the custody of the Docks Company have been stopped for freight or charges, or for both, the owner may liberate them by making a deposit with the Docks Company of the amount claimed, in accordance with the provisions of the merchant shipping act. 1894. A warrant is the only document issued by the Docks Company entitled to be considered a legal symbol of the goods therein described, and the goods may be transferred by indorsement thereon without the warrant being produced at the dock office. Warrants for goods are issued on written application in favor of such person as the owner may direct (subject to the conditions specified on the documents), and when lodged, duly indorsed, entitle the holder to transfer or obtain delivery
