Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the question of Customs administration reform, prompted by a petition from London merchants to the House of Commons in 1851. It explores the proceedings of a Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed in response to the petition, and a rival committee established by London merchants at Charlotte Row. The author provides a critique of the Charlotte Row Committee's "Digest," exposing its use of fabricated and distorted evidence. Through an analysis of evidence presented to the Select Committee, the author presents arguments against the Charlotte Row Committee's allegations of oppressive regulations, fines, and secrecy in customs practices. The work also delves into the broader history, policies, and practices of the Customs Department, arguing for the value of its current form of operation. A comprehensive analysis of the book's contents, this book offers a nuanced perspective on the question of Customs administration reform, shedding light on the historical context and complexities of the debate.
