Chap. LXXIV.— An Act for the relief of umbrella-makers. March 3, 1839.[Obsolete.] *Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled*, All excess of duty beyond what would have been required if the provisoes of 10th and 12th clauses of 2d sec. act 14th July, 1832, ch. 227, had at all times been suspended in their operation, as they were by act 2d March, 1833, ch. 62, refunded, &c.
