The proceedings of the Customs authorities themselves are many of them. so invidious, to say nothing of their illegality, especially in the neighbourhood of this port, and so much consideration has been shown to them in these matters by the British Government, that they might be expected to err occasionally on the side of courtesy rather than the op posite.
