tin box and she Il small workbasket,
each containing parts of old watches,
watch findings and "A large variety Of
stone-se;tings, and desired to pay the
duties thereon. Not having an invoice
of the goods or a Consurs certificate,
these officers were not prepared to fix
the duties, and sent the parties to MAJOR

they had not presented all their contra
band goods and caused them to he
