This IS an Information of the seizure of the claim.
ants stock of tobacco and cigars Reading March
go for alleged violation of the Revenue law. The
evidence addnced yesterday in regard to this viola
ton that the claimants, by means of peculiarly
made cigar boxes, the bottoms and ends of which
defacing the stamp, had used the same boxes
in packing and shipping various lots of cigars,
using the same stamps, not affixing fresh
stamp to each lot as required by law; and
that they used stamps of Che first issue, less
sve than those issued under the act OF 1866 upon
cigars under the pretense that the cigars manu-
factuTed, packed and stamped before the operation
this and also that by cutting and splicing stamps
and tearing off and repastng on the same stamps,
they avoided the tax. Allegations were made also
of false returns of the business the evidence
port which was the return books themselves.
This morning other witnesses were examined by
the United States, as to the peculiar make OF the
boxes, the marks upon the stamps by which IL could
be that they lad been often used and the age
the cigar upon which old stamps were placed and
their testimony went far TO substRntiate the alega
tions of the United states.
This same ground was repeatedly gone over but no
facts were elected. On trial. Doman and Becker
for claimants.
