IMPORTANT REVENUE DEcrsIoN.-A Chicago dis
patch, of the 26th, says Judge Drummond of the
United States Court rendered an important decision
under the revenue law in Of Indictment for al
legged fraud in purchasing high wines. The price paid
was less than the revenue tax DUE but the marks and
brands on barrels were all regular The tax however,
had not been paid. There nothing in the case to
show that defendant hadany knowledge whatever that
there anything wrong about the highwines except
what arose from the circumstances of price, namely,
that it was below the amount Of tax due. The ques-
ton whether that circumstance alone renders them
liable. The court held that, marks being regular,
nothing indicated to defendant that the tax had not
been paid, and discharged him.
