Look to Your Stamps.
IIARILITY UNDER UNITED STATES LAWS
OF CIGAR DEALERS AND
BUYERS.

A very interesting case, one invol'
wing the responsibility of parties
selling or buying cigars, cheeroots'
snuff, ETC., in boxes, pack
ages, envelopes or jars, was decided
in the United States Circuit Court on
Saturday.
Victoriano Lopez, q cigar maker,
was tried for having in his house ten
boxes (empty) of cigars, the stamps
of which had not been entirely DIES
troyed. The law bearing upon such
case (section 3406 United States
Revised Statutes, and the follow
iug,) is very explicit and positive
1t says
"Whenever any stamped box, ves'
sci, wrapper; envelope or jar, contain
ing cigars, cheroots, cigarettes, tobac
co or snuff, is emptied, it shall be the
duty of the person in whose hands the
same is, to destroy utterly the stamp'
thereon, and any person who will full
ly neglect or refuses so to do, shall
for each such offense, be fined not ex
ceeding fifty dollars, and imprisoned
not less than ten days nor more thai
six months"
In Lopez's room, in an armoi1
was found an empty box of cigars
and on top of the armoir anothe
box (ths latter being covered wit
dust must have been there a lon
time whose stamps bad not been ut
terly destroyed according to the sta
tutd. Lopez was tried by jury
Judge Anthony Sambola was hi
counsel and made very able argr
: ment, showing that the box found i
ithe armoir contained laces, threa
and other things belonging to Mr.
5 Lopez, thus dispelling all idea
, fraud. The jury seemed to hesitat
but after long deliberalion brougl
Q in verdict of acquiltal. The CAT
D is an interesting one, as it touch
8 upon the responsibilities of both {
r. gar dealers and buyers who negle
u to destroy the stamps after the {
II CARS have been taken from the BIO
