With regard to seizures made on ships and deck boats, when unloading cannot take place immediately, the seizors affix seals to the hatchways and hatches of the vessels. The report, which is drawn up as unloading progresses, mentions the number, marks and numbers of the bales, boxes and barrels. The detailed description is only made at the office, in the presence of the accused or after he has been summoned to attend; he is given a copy at each session.
