A CHAPTER ON CHAMPAGNE.

In the United States Circuit Court YESTERDAY,
before Judge Nathaniel Shipman, the case OF De
Barry Co. vs. Chester A. Arthur, Collector OF the
Port, came for trial. The plaintiffs are i'm
porters OF champagne IN this city. They imported
q quantity OF that wine, upon which, in ADDITION
TO the duty VI sc per dozen bottles, the collector
assessed tax OF three cents TOR each bottle. The
latter tax was paid under protest. The piainuns
bring the present action against the Collector TO
recover back the excess OF duty paid ty them on
the bottles Counsel for the plaintiffs, In
opening the case 10 the jury, referred
ut considerable length TO the various laws
bearing upon the duties eviabie upon champagne
and other wines. Champagne. he said, was never
dealt In as vine, but as champagne: and the fact
that Congress took champagne out OF the ordinary
CategoTJ oi wines showed tnat II followed ,he or.
dInafy commercial term by which champagne was
known. Champagne was Always imported in
bottle and never otherwise. The bottle was al
most component part OF the article. Champagne
was made in a bottle, never imported Ia casks,
and IL could not be made otherwise than in the
bottle IN winch 1t finally. came to the tables
der winch the present duty IS imposed
on the article Is section II OF the act
all other sparkling wines in bottles, Sc per dozen
bottles, COMBINING each not more tnan one quart
and more lhan one pint, ans 81 per dozen bottles
than one.half pint, and " so per dozen bottles
Containing one-naf pint eacn or Tess: and In Dot:

iber that wines, brandy and other sprituous
liquors imported shall be packed In packages con-
tanning not less than one dozen bottles IN eacn
package, ana All such bottles shall pay addi-
uona duty OF three cents for each bottlen
The argument ci counsel for the plaintiff was
that as champagne could only be Imported in bot
Ties, aud not otherwise, 1t was never intended by
Congress that the bottle In which the wine was
contained should be liable to a separate duty from
the article ITSELF
The plaintiff offered 10 prove that caamparue
was manu- tactured IN bottles.

Attorney, oojected on the ground that II tnes n
