r. nllyaru, BSq Dfputy pollecior OF Internal
Revenus. for this District seized lao boxed of 10
Market streets, which were shipped here from
the firm Of Crossman; Solomon 4 Spear, Of
Philadelphia. On Friday he made another
seizure Of the same kind OF So boxes from the L
came firm At the store Of VIM. l. Springbett,
No. West 4th street, making altogether l78 /
boxes, 1880 cigars. II seems that the 6rm in
Philadelphia represented them TO be good and
the stamps on the boxes valid, which, In both 1
cases, turned out false, the cigars being good |
for nothing, and the boxes having been twice 4
packed under one stamp. The labels on them |
were perfect, but the stamps had all been bro |
ken, showing plainly grand mistake, or an
attemptto deiraud the Government on the |
part OF the firm Of Phila. The parties who
received the cigars in this city luckily discov-
cred the matter 10 time to save them selves,
and accordingly gave information to Mr.. Il.
who holds them for further investigation.
