Stokesfrom Rome. Italy last July Mr.. Stokes de.
clares that he paid all the duties but that when
he went to the Union Stores, where the goods

surrendered without permit from tire Gus
tom House showing that tho duty on them
had been paid. Mr.. Stokes then brought suit
against the brokers named who have caused the

Mr.. Stokes contends that these charges are
exorbitant. and sets up that he made n agree
ment with tho steam shin line that brought the
