sation with Mr.. Luce in regard TO |
this order. / don't recollect if Mr..
Luce was there in connection with
this. The order was presented for
getting out liquor. The goods are
whisley, gin, brandy, etc. They
are dutiable goods. Nobody paid
the duty on those goods. delivered
the goods because the order was en-
dorsed by Canavarro. If an order
the same as this was presented with
out such an endorsement, the duties
would have to be paid or a bond
given for their payment. The goods
we're all imported. Either myself
or clerk delivered these goods.
noticed this scratch the day it was
presented, but it was not as promi-
nent as now. l presume the words
on the endorsement were there when
it was presented. don't generally
read anything but the name. The
endorser Canavarro is entitled to
draw the goods from the Customs.
The goods in that bill were in bond
when the order was delivered. And
were in the custody of the Customs
officer. charge the delivery of goods
to the respective accounts, and re-
turn the orders to the Collector
General. The endorser has no ac-
count with me. Mr.. Luce is the one
who has the account. The legal
amount of duties was $501.52, and
on the order of Canavarro was re-
mitted, have no knowledge of the
duties being paid to any one. The
marks on the magin are by me, and
denote the day the goods were de-
livered and carried into my books.
Cross-examined: The duties were
not paid on these liquors. If there
is any law to the effect that duties
have to be paid before goods are
bonded, it has not been carried out.
These people, meaning diplomatic
agents, have not imported any such
goods, but they have been allowed
To draw them. Mr.. Canavarro has
had other orders, but L cannot tell
how many. I don't remember if L
mentioned to Mr.. Luce about the
erasure. Other people handle those
orders. The erasureImay be more pro-
minent to me now, as there has
been so much talk about it. l have
been sitting here during this trial,
have not learned anything while
here that did not know before.
Here the prosecution rested.
Mr.. Hatch then addressed the
;nry and outlined the defence they
should offer. &c.
filed in that order and signed it.
filed it in to get goods from the
Custom House, at the' request OF
Capt. Haley. Haley was a customer
of mine. He said that he had
spoken to Canavarro about getting
. Goods, and asked me to give him a
FLANK order. l gave him one and
in a few days he returned it signed.
He said Canavarro offered him the
order. I filled the order and drew
the goods, and put them in my store.
Haley did not owe me anything al
that time. They were to replace
goods that Haley had taken FOL
Canavarro.
Here the Attorney-General asked
the Court to demand the defend
ants books.
The Court stated that it had M
authority by statute to order thu
production of the books.
The Attorney-General then moved
that the evidence as regards the ac
count of Mr.. Haley, be stricken out
The Court thought it would b.
wrong to take it out. 1t does no
state ANYTHING but that Haley di(
not owe anything at that date:
The witness was asked, Did yo'
deliver goods previous to the dat
Of that order for Canavarro?
The Acknowledgement objected t.
this question. The Court said
