Startling Frauds In Imported SuSars-.
Seizure of the Stock mt New Or
leans.
NEW ORLEANS, juno 30.--The invcstiga-
tons by Collector Casey, which have been in
progress some time, resulted in the seizure
last night of 1896 boxes, 1857 %hogshcads,
and 10 tierces of sugar, belonging to the i'm
porting house Of Auguste Contourie & Co.,
and the placing under surveillance the en-
tire stock of imported sugar in bond in this
city, amounting to II 200 boxes, 3,151 hogs
heads, 933 ~ticrceS, and $50 barrels !; all of
which will he rc-weighed and rc-clasSifed
before permitted to be withdrawn from
bond, with 4 view to the detection of further
frauds which may have been committed.
The investigations Of the revenue officers
show that importers used false invoices.
Sugar was classcd too low, and the %wcighers
returned weights almost invariably lower
than even the false invoices. Implicated in
these frauds are n number Of weighers, APP
praiscrs, examiners, and inspectors, APP
pointed by Collector Casey. 1t is supposed,
however, that similar frauds have been
practiced for Il long time. Suspicion was
aroused by the difference in the weight of
packages and the difference in the quality
of sugars from the same port. Deputy Col
lector Herwin had prepared an abstract
giving a complete history Of every package
of sugar in bond, showing 4 uniform diff
ference amounting to $50 pounds in each
hogshead and 45 pounds in each box on the
fraudulent invoice.
