The Daily Dispatch: August 16, 1861., [Electronic resource], Female Revenue officers. (search)
Female Revenue officers.
--The practice of smuggling diamonds, jewelry and other valuables from Europe by female passengers, has become so common and so extensive that two female inspectors have been attached to the revenue service at New York, whose business it is to search all female passengers for concealed dutiable articles.
These feminine officers take the female passengers in charge as soon as they land, and give them and their baggage a thorough overhauling, which, in a short time, will put an end to smuggling, if the female inspectors are only faithful in the performance of their duties.
In France and other continental custom-houses, women are employed in the same duties.
