1t is not, however, necessary to in
woke the maxim, Olnnia presum.
nuter rite acta csse," in support of
this record. II appears, afiirmatively,
that all the facts were found or established
which. under the act of Congress-, were es-
sentlal to justify the Judgment. 1t has been
observed the information set out that the
stocks belonged to Samuel Miller, and that
he was person engaged in the rebellion,
who had given aid or comfort thereto; that
monition was duly made, and that there was
default OF all persons to appear and claim,
or show cause why the property should not
be condemned as enemy's property. The
default appears to have been duly entered.
Were this, then, proceeding according to
the forms of . common law action, the facts
averred by the information would be con-
sidered az established or confessed, and
everything found necessary for . judgment.
The effect Of default to appear iu an adj
miralty or revenue proceeding il Ordina-
rily the same as in other actions ct Law. It
is virtual confession. In Benedict's Adj
miralty, second edition, section 452, the prac-
tice in proceedings in rem is stated to be, If
no ONE appears in response I'd the prOclama-
ton for all persons having anything to say
why the property should not he condemned
to come forward and make their allegations
in that behalf, that, ON motion of the libel
ants proctor, the defaults are entered, and
q decree Of condemnation and sale il made
ON brief statement by the proctor of the
cause Of action. When the libelant's claim
may not cover the whole value of the prop
6rty, there is q subsequent hearing to ascer-
tain the amount to which the ibUlant is en-
titled, but the decree of condemnation and
sale is entered on the default alone. So, in
section 454, the Same author says, I'm cases
of seizure, when no one appears. the decree
Of condemnation is absolute, the only ques.
or not. In such cases it is usual for tho DIS
trict attorney, on his motion for condemna-
ton, to state. briefly the substance Of the
libel and the cause Of forfeiture" In United
States Va. the schooner Lion, Sprague, 1893,
Judge Sprague admitted that in some cases
condemnation followed default Of necessity
without . hearing, though, in the case then
before MIN, ne hei0 that some nearing was
necessary, because the act Of Congress I'M
der which the forfeiture was then sought
THAT of fishing vessels for violations of law
in obtaining fishing bountiesl provided
that after default the court should pro-
coed to hear and determine the cause &C
