6 CANADA. DEPARTMENT OF CUSTOMS - SERIES F COLLECTORS OF CUSTOMS RECORDS v. The Department of Customs was created in 1868 (Canada Statutes, 31 Vict., cap. 43), and charged with the responsibility for the collection of custom duties and the tolls on public canals. A Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner of Customs supervised the activities of the department. An Act (Canada Statutes, Vict., cap. 11), passed in 1887 and implemented five years later, placed the department under the Minister of Trade and Commerce. Customs regained its status as an independent department in The department merged with the Department of Inland Revenue in 1918 to form the Department of Customs and Inland Revenue. In the years following the creation of the Department, most sea and inland ports of major or medium importance or located near the border were staffed by Collectors of Customs, who reported directly to the Commissioner and were responsible for the collection of customs duties and the supervision of the Department's activities in that area. Local officers were also located in smaller ports, some of which were designated as either outports or preventive stations, and reported to the Collector of Custom for the nearest port. This series is comprised of records of the Collector of Customs for two ports located in Hastings County: Deseronto (sub-series F ) and Belleville (sub-series F ). The series was previously arranged into three sub-series, the first one corresponding to records created by the Collector of Customs in Deseronto when it was still named Mill Point; these records have been amalgamated into sub-series F during reprocessing. For more information on the contents and arrangement of the sub-series, please consult the following pages. Restrictions Access: Certain material has been withdrawn from circulation for conservation reasons. See sub-series description for details. Reproduction: No restriction on reproduction.

7 DESERONTO COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS RECORDS SUB-SERIES F v. Deseronto (which was called Mill Point until 1881) benefited as a port by its location on the way to both Belleville and Napanee and, until its decline after the 1880's, by the presence of lumber and flour mills. The port was first staffed by a landing waiter (local officer responsible for supervising the landing of vessels and collecting custom duties) who reported to the Collector of Customs in Napanee; this position was later changed to that of Collector of Customs, reporting directly to the Commissioner. This sub-series is comprised of volumes used by the landing waiters and Collectors of Customs for Deseronto to record information on ships passing through the port and on duties collected. It was previously arranged into two distinct sub-series, one of which contained records created for the most part between 1874 and The "Jerque Books" (units F to F ) were used to record the dates of arrival and departure, name, and description and value of the cargo on board for each ship passing through the port. The first two volumes also contain a section in which information was recorded on entries of dutiable and duty-free goods, duties collected, and issuance of boating and coasting licences. The cash books (units F and F ) were used to record monies paid by and to the Collector of Customs. The Coasting Register Inward (unit F ) was used to record dates of arrival, names, last port visited, tonnage and crew of all sail and steam vessels employed in coasting trade. The Register of Manifests Received (unit F ) lists all ships submitting a manifest, giving dates of manifests, order numbers for the receiving (Deseronto) and sending ports, and either the name of the sending port or the ship. Operations of the Collector of Customs in Deseronto are also documented in unit F (Cash book - inland revenue). See Appendix A1/Unit List A1.1...cont'd

9 BELLEVILLE COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS RECORDS SUB-SERIES F v. Belleville's location on the Bay of Quinte and its role as the main access point to the interior of Hastings County made it the most populated town and the main economical and industrial centre of the County. By the end of the 19th century, most of the County's exportations by sea were made through Belleville. The Collector of Customs for Belleville was responsible for the management of operations related to the collection of customs duties at the port of Belleville, the preventive station in Shannonville (Tyendinaga Township) and the outport of Campbellford (Seymour Township, Northumberland County). This sub-series consists of six volumes recording the activities of the Collector of Customs in Belleville. The first three volumes (units F to F ) are "aggregate" registers, in which statistical data on quantities and value of goods imported or exported through Belleville and the ports under its authority is entered by date of transit, category of goods (indexed at the beginning of the volume), and country of origin or destination. The Register of Goods Exported through U.S. (unit F ) records dates and values of exports. The cash book (unit F ) and ledger (unit F ) were used to record levies of duties of the Department of Inland Revenues, which probably means that the Collector of Customs also represented that department. The cash book also contain information pertaining to operations in Deseronto See Appendix A2/Unit List A2.1 Restrictions: Access: Unit F (Cash book - inland revenue) has been withdrawn from circulation for conservation reasons.
