The Collector Of tie Customs al Boston,
has, it seems, for several years past, been act
ing under a rule adopted BY him, TO compel
importers to pay duties on what should be the
appraised value or merchandise, instead Of the
invoice price. This has been recently resist
ed, by w. c. Hall, an iDpoFterin Boston, and
a suit was commenced 90 his bonds. The case
was tried before the Circuit Court at Boston,
on the 23d uit. and after patient hearing,
and examination OF witnesses, the Judge char
ged the jury to bring in verdict for Hail. If
they believed his invoice to be a far one Of
the cost Of bis books and as this was not ques-
toned, they brought 10 against the Y. States,
and in favour Of the defendant. Judge Story
decided that the practice ia the custom house
was contrary 10 lal0, and that except where
fraudulent invoices were exhibited, or suspect
ed to be so, no grounds existed for an APP
praisement OF Goods. Thus i overturned a
most vexatious and arbitrary usage.
Pursuant 10 the suggestion OF a correspondent IN a
late Gazette the following has bees sent as. Il we
should receive other communications on the subject
We propose 10 insert them without preface in like
