INTERNAL REVENUE DECISION.


ColLEcror's OFFICE, INTERNAL REVENUE, J
Third District of Louisiana !
Monroe, Nov. %, 1868.
The following is the reply to question where par
ties have more than five, but under fifty gallons of
whisky.
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE
Washington, Nov H. 1868. I
In answer, have to that while the return called
for by section ST cannot be required from any person
who had but fifty gallons less OF distilled spirits in
his possession st inst it is, nevertheless impor-
tant to the interests of such persons that their pack
ages OF such spirits should be marked and STAMPED as
prescribed in that section otherwise the spirits being
without either the tax paid stamp the stamp for
stock on hand, would be in danger of detention under
section Al and perhaps of seizure and forfeiture under
the provisions of section 81 for the forfeiture of all
distilled spirits found after thirty days in packages Of
more than five gallons, without having thereon each
mark and stamp required therefor by this act Section
80 would IN such case throw the burden of proof on
the claimants and probable cause for seizure could
doubtless in most be shown to have existed the
expense and trouble to which the owner of the spirits
would be subjected before he could recover his prop
erty, would generally exceed its value.
1t would be well to make this view of the pattep
known to those in your district whom it may concern
