Any shipping commissioner may engage a clerk or clerks (who shall upon being so appointed take and subscribe an oath of office in like manner with the commissioners) to assist him in the transaction of the business of the shipping office. The number and salaries of such clerks shall be regulated by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. The shipping commissioner may, in case of necessity, depute such clerk or clerks to act for him in his official capacity; and all acts done by any such clerks, when deputized by the commissioner, shall be valid and binding as if done by the commissioner, who shall personally be liable for any penalties such clerk or clerks may incur for any violation of any of the provisions of this title. Such clerk or clerks shall be under the direction of the shipping commissioner, who shall be empowered to remove from ofiice any clerk who, in his Opinion, does not properly discharge the duties devolved upon him; and no officer or clerk appointed under this title shall retain any fees or other moneys arising from or by virtue of this title, in remuneration for any services performed by him or them, or under any pretext whatever. Sec. 4506. Each shipping commissioner shall be provided with a seal, with which he shall authenticate all his official acts, on which seal shall be engraved the arms of the United States and the name of the sea-port or district for which he is com missioned. Any instrument, either printed or written, purporting to be the official act of a shipping commissioner, and purporting to be under the seal and signature of such shipping commissioner, shall be received as prima. Facie evidence of the official character of such instrument, and of the truth of the facts therein set forth. Sec. 4507. The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States shall, at every port where a shipping commissioner is appointed, designate a certain portion of the custom-house, or shall lease, rent, or procure other suitable premises in the vicinity of such custom-house, for the transaction of the business of such commissioner, and for the preservation of the books and other documents connected therewith, and these premises shall be styled the shipping commissioner's office.
