(Circular 10 district Attorneis)
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Comptrollers's Office, Oct 5, 1912.
SIR,
Since the circular of the 18th of Nav,
addressed to you from this Office, it appears,
from information received, that in some of
the districts, the courts hold themselves
bound to deliver up the vessel and goods
seized in violation Of the non-imDorta;ion
law, on satisfactory bond given by the clai-
mant, while in others, the opposition made
to this course by the attornies of the United
States, has been found to avail with the court
to refuse such delivery.
1t is desirable that the law in question.
whatever views may still be entertained of
its original intention, should operate equally
on the merchants or other owners OF proper
ty seized, in every part of the union. See
ing therefore that different line Of practice
is found to govern the courts in different
districts upon this point, and in order to
prevcnt,as far as possible, any Inconvenience
or supposed Injustice to individuals resulting
from such difference, you arc hereby re-
quested to withhold the opposition you were
requested to make to the delivery Of the
property to the claimant on his giving bond !;
the object being that, as the decisions ofthc
courts are not to be controlled by thi. depart
ment, you may thus lend your aid, negative
ly at least, towards he uniform execution of
the law. You will be pleased, however to
consider this relaxation, as extended to pro-
perty owned by American citizens only, and
to urge in all cases true and adequate APP
praiscmeut.
] have the honor to be, &c.

Comptroler's Once, May Is, 1912.
SIR,
AS it may be supposed that nm a seiz-
ure under the law of March LIST, 1909, COM
monty called the hOn-importation law, the
claimant has right to the re-possession Of
the property seized, by giving bond as point
eel out bv the S9th section of the collection
law, it is deemed proper to submit to your
respectfully, the views taken Of this subject
at this department, If such be n correct
construction cf it it is plain that it will 60 far
towards defeating the ends contemplated by
its passage.
The policy and intention Of this act evil
IDENTITY was toIshut the door, as eFcctuaIy as
possible, against the introduction of British
manufactures. The motive Of taking bond
from aciainant, underline S9th section of the
collection law, as in all similar or analogous
cases, unqucstionably is, not that il may be
received in lieu Of the thing surrendered
but N compel or insure the forth coming of
the thing itself. But the state of things ex-
listing, aud always liable to exist, under the
non importation act, would hinder the ope-
ration OF this obvious principle. The enhan-
ccd value Of the British coiamodity, arising
from general scarcity, may make it, in
most cases, the interest Of tho illicit iupor-
tcrto forfeit his bond, the penalty being re
gulatcd by tie Nominal or iuUoice price Of
tic goods, or a sufficient Intermediate rise
taking place before the trial, although the
penalty was fixed according to the market
value at the time Of seizure. The act, in its
foundation, its objects and entire scope, aims
At the total exclusion from the country Of ali
British goods If thwartcd in that object
II next IS to transfer them when un!awfuly
introduced, to the hands Of the go,erDmen
To suffer them, when seized for an apparen
breach OF this law, to pass to the immediate,
