Tobacco Lost at Sea Must Pay Tax.

Some time ago cargo of tobacco
was shipped from Baltimore to Europe
and bonds were given in double tie
amount of the tux to show that the
goods were actually intended for ex-
port. The vessels was wrecked and
the goods went to the bottom of the
sea. The revenue officers demanded
raymcnt Of the tax on the goods nam
ed In the export Invoice. The ship
per refused to pay, and carried the
case to court. The court decided
that the law requires the production
of q certificate Of landing in a foreign
country before cancellation of the in
demnity bond. 1t was evident that no
ono ut the bottom Of the ocean had
power TO give such certificate the
shipper failed to produce one, and
Judgment was given in favor Of the
government. The shipper was 40.
tually obliged to pay tax on goods
lost ut sea.
