The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 60

Brass Work

Brass Work.

Cocks,

Service cocks and angle cocks are free, while bib cocks are subject to duty—the whole of them being used for the same purposes.

Engines.

Part steam engines, such as peat valves, oil cup, tallow cups, etc., are said to be brought in free as such, while they are largely used for other purposes, and ought to come in as brass manufactures, and subject to duty.

Those interested in this business complain of the evasion of duty by some importers, resulting in the loss of revenue to the country, and strongly urge the assimilation of duties.
