Judge Shipman rendered decision in the
United States Court at New York, on the
4th, in a suit in which the Government
sought to collect a tax upon the difference
between the producing capacity of distillery
and the amouh Of spirits actually distilled
In which the defense was that the tax had
already been assessed and collected upon the
spirits produced-that the law makes the
capacity, and not the actual production the
basis of taxation; that an assessment is not
necessary to entitle the Government to re-
cover, and that an erroneous assessment is
not conclusive against the Government.
