| WAsHINGToS, Feb. Al prize case be-
! fore the United States District Court, it was
charged in a libel that certain vessel was
forfeited by reason Of having entered the
! port of Norfolk in violation Of the regula-
tons presented by the Secretary Of the
! Treasury, and several anterior proclama-
! tons Of the President. The cargo was
landed in December, 1868, and the seizure
! Of the vessel wss not made till the follow
| ing June. During the interval the vessel
made three or four innocent voyages. The
turning point of the case was whether the
vessel, made guilty by the language Of the
admiralty law by violation Of the above
mentioned, was purged by the innocence Of
subsequent voyages, coupled with the de-
lay Of the Government in making the seiz-
ure. The court held the forfeiture as com
plete as the moment the cause Of it arose,
and this cause is the act Ct violating the
law. Sentence of condemnation was ac-
cordingly pronounced.
