50 fragrant, and tle courts interpretation
of the law so questionable to the minds Of
some Of the court, that the Chief Justice,
Justice Miller, and Justice Field, felt con-
strained to deliver dissenting opinion.
The latter read an opinion, in which he
makes this caustic comment upon the judg-
ment: "We have thus this singular, and, L
venture to say, unprecedented fact in the
history of judicial decisions in this country,
that the property of citizen, honestly &C
quired, without suspicion Of wrong in his
vendor, is forfeited and taken from him be-
cause such vendor, at some period while
owning the property, conceived the intent
to defraud the government of the tax there
on, although such intent was never devel-
oped in action, and for the execution Of
which no step was ever taken"

Of one hundred barrels of distilled spirits
claimed by Mr.. John Henderson, who had
purchased them while they were stored in
bonded warehouse, after they had been
placed there by the owner of the distillery
They were removed from the distillery III
regular and legal form to the bonded ware
house, and the purchaser himself paid the
tax upon them, and supposed he was the
absolute owner. But after he. had bought
the goods and paid the taxes on them, and
after the government, through its collector,
had received the taxes, the government.
through the collector, made seizure of the
goods for forfeiture on the ground that the
distiller, the original owner, in removing
them from the distillery to the bonded ware
house, had intended to defraud the govern

district attorney and he sued out a writ of

the United States circuit court, where
the previous judgment was affirmed.
The district attorney then appealed to the
Supreme Court at Washington, and tina.
tribunal has now reversed the decision of
the courts below, and remanded the cause
with instructions to render judgment for the

United States get the full tax on the spirits
and the spirits besides; the innocent pur-

taxes; and the only person who is charged
even with attending a wrong, goes
free! The injustice Of the transaction was
