AA Unjust Law The Captain Of the
Nswbern Arrested in MazatIRn.
n marsh Law prevails in Mexico that the
captain of a ship is responsible for the
mistakes or wrong doings Of consignees,
and under this law Captain VIM. Metzger,
of the steamer Newbern, has been arrest
ed in Mazatlan for violation of the Reye.
nue. laws. Four packages OF freight were
found in the Custom House at Mazatlan
chat the authorities said arrived on the
steamer Newbern from this port. They,
therefore, arrested Captain Metzger and
confined him in Jail. Bail was offered, but
the Judge would not allow him to be
bailcd out, and the latest adyices are to
the effect that he is still incarcerated. In
the protest made before the United States
Consul, Captain Metzger said he knew
nothing whatever of the alleged smuggled
packages, and that no Till for freight had
ever been presented by the owners of the
Newbern, or paid to any one OF them.
He further states in q letter, that the pen
atty, if found guilty, is two years impris-
onment. The American Consul, E. G..
Kelton, writes that much sympathy is
expressed for Captain Metzger, and that
i, is unlikely he will be found guilty, be-
cs use the packages were found ia the
custom House, and no one can testify as
to whence they came. His opinion of the
section of this new law is, that it holds
the owner, and not the captain. On the
last voyage down, the Mexican Consul
failed to include 104 packages of freight
In the manifest, and the captain was fined
800 at Mazatlan for the omission. The
vessel is now at the dock, and the owners
state that it is customary for merchants
at Mazatlan to consign their goods to
prisoners, and thus avoid arrest for crime
in case of any errors in the manifest. 1t
is said that the object of exec uting the
law so vigorously is political in its nature
and for the purpose of rendering the
present Government unpopular.
