Consular Receipts.

178. It is the duty of all owners, agents, consignees, masters, and commanders of vessels, to whom any receipt for fees is given by any consular officer, to furnish a copy thereof to the collector of the district in which such vessels shall first arrive on their return to the United States, and the collector must forward such copies to the Secretary of the Treasury. (Rev. Stat., § 4,213.) The design is evidently to place a check upon illegal exactions. It is, therefore, the interest, as well as the duty, of masters and others to observe this law.
