WASHIN0ToN, March 3, 1867.

StT The recent act OF congress pro-
vides that whenever distilled spirits shall
be sold or offered for sale at a less price
than the tax imposed by law thereon,
such selling or offering for sale shall be
taken and deemed prima faeie evidence
that said spirits were not removed from
bonded warehouse according to law, and
that the tax has not been paid, and the
same shall without fHyther evidence be
laid liable 10 seizure and forfeiture. In
formation has been received at this office
that, Notwithstanding this law, spirits
are freely offered in the New York mar
ket at the tax less 80 to 50 per cent. dis
count. This is obviously an invasion Of
the law, and all the spirits sold in this
manner are liable to seizure and forfeit
ure. Prompt measures must be taken to
enforce this provision Of the law.
