THE CANADIAN PROPELLER.
Action in the Case of the California
Not Precedent.

Not n Precedent.
Acting Secretary Fairchild said yesterday
that his recent decision In regard to the
case Of the Canadian propeller California
appeared to be misunderstood. The facts
in that case, he said, as reported to the
department by the collector at Chicago, are
as follows:
The British propeller California, of
Montreal, arrived at Chicago on the 4th
instant from Montreal via Cleveland, Ohio,
gers from Cleveland. These passengers
purchased tickets in Cleveland for Windsor,
Canada. Their baggage was examined
there by the Canadian officers, and tickets
were there purchased for Canada. The
collector inquired whether, under these
circumstances, the California was liable TO
a fne OF So for each Of the passengers
brought from Cleveland, under the pro-
visions Of section OF the act OF June 10,
1856.
In his letter to the collector the Secre-
tary said "Without attempting to lay
down a rule for all similar cases arising
under the act In question where passengers
proceeding from one domestic port to
another in a foreign vessel enter or land In
an intermediate foreign port, the depart.
ment decides that In this case the fine did
not attach.n
Secretary Fairchlld said that he purposely
refrained from laying down general rule
of action in such cases, for the reason that
he had asked the Attorney General for an
opinion on the subject, and was now await.
ing lis reply. His action In the case Of
the California, which, he said, was not to
lie taken as precedent, was based on the
fact that there was no proof whatever that
the landing Of the passengers at Windsor
was not bona fde landing and entirely
without intent to evade the law.
