The Bark Alden Besse.

On Tuesday last the libel against the American
bark -fideH Besse and her master, charging the in
PRODUCTION and illegal importation Of D cases Of sam
chu, 2 cases of tobacco and 1873 tins of opium, and
alleging an attempt to smuggle the same, was heard
before Mr.. Justice Harris, in Admiralty
The master of the bark, Capt. A. Noyes, appeared
for himself and co-owners, as claimants. The evil
dence showed that the smuggling was done by the
first and second mates and steward, but in the opin
ion of the Court fully exonerated the master from
any completely.
Mr.. Hartwell for the prosecution moved for forfeit
ure Of the ship, as well as the struggled goods, and
argued that the statute left no discretion with the
Court, in case the smuggling is proved, but declares
that the vessel shall be forfeited, - citing cases in
English and American courts to the effect that no
actual knowledge Of the smuggling need be shown.
and no fraudulent intent, on the part of the master,
in order to work a forfeiture; but that the only
remedy Of the ship owners was by petition to the
Minister of Finance to remit the forfeiture.
Messrs. Preston and O'Halloran for the respond
ents argued that no decree could be made against the
ship where the master is not shown to have been
guilty of fraudulent intent.
The statute on the question (Sec. l, page 199,
Penal Code) reads as follows
Every person who shall be in any way engaged in the inn
0ASN'O ANuU'ttO AahuAue, VI Nahsbipphhs u III bOust
wares or merchandise subject 10 duty, without paying or Sc
curing the payment Of such duty, or who shall make out or
pass, or attempt TO pass, through any custom house, any false,
forged or fraudulent invoice, and also his aiders and abettoFs,
shall be deemed guilty of the misdemeanOr Of smuggling, and
on conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than hny, nor
more than one thousand dollars. or imprisoned at hard labor
not exceeding two years, in the discretion Of the court; and all
goods, wares, and merchandise, so struggled, or attempted TO
be smuggled, and the vessel from which they are smuggled, or
attempted TO be smuggled, together with all her boats, tackle,
apparel and furniture, and all other boats, vessels, and craft Of
smuggling, or attempt TO smuggie, Shall be forfeited, and may
be seized, condemned and sold for the benefit Of the Hawaiian
Government.
The Court ordered the ship and master to be re-
leased, and decreed the forfeiture Of the struggled
goods, and that the ship pay costs.
On Wednesday the first officer of the ship. VIM
Clemens, pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court before
Mr.. Justice Harris to the charge of smuggling the
said goods, and a fine of $3.50 was imposed.
