sE1ZIrRE BY CAPTAIN BRACKETT.

Captain Charles n. Bracket, special agent Of the
cases of furs imported at an differentiation. He
claims that he has proof of intent to defTaud, and
this seizure may lead to important results: lie re-
Ceived information a few days ago to the prac-
tees of the New-YOrk agent OF a Belgian manu-
factuTcr and awaited shipment to HIM. Then lie
called the Appraisers attention to the underyalua-
and he succeeded in obtaining the entire cores
pondcnce on the subject, which disclosed the intent
to dcfraud. The eighteen cases were the property
of a merchant who had ordered them through the
importer, and who probably did not know of the
differentiation. The cases are now in the seizure
Other seizures are expected. Captain Brackctt
said yesterday: This seizure may solve the
problem whether a Custom House oath can be
taken with imWinity by an importer who knows
that he is swearing falsely"
