AT Session Of United States
Court at Windsor
NO DECISION RENDERED
Case Involves Seizure Of 81 Barrels Of
Liquors at Railroad Station--Grand
Jury Reports Thirteen True
Bills Pounds.

Windsor, May 2l.-In United States

uor case involving the construction Of
the .DeLacey act, relating TO the ship
ment Of spirituous, vinous and other
Intoxicating liquors from one state TO
another, under sections Of the inter
state commerce law, was argued before
Judge Hough. The case grew out OF
a raid ia Barre a few months ago when
1877 barrels IF wine were seized
at a railroad station.
There were three cases and they we're
argued Oh an agreed statement Of facts
which showed chat the Ciocea-Is lombard

three carloads Of wine and other liq-
uors to their agent, Maruzxi, at Barre,

iotment of the shipment 1t was fur
there agreed that the kind and amount
Of liquor was stated on each barrel or
package together with the name Of the
consignee and his address and the name
of each consumer and bis address
District Attorney Alexander Dunnett
contended that the shipment did not
give the true name Of the conignees,
as the customers nsmes were not on
the wny-bills. nor the bill Of lading.
and that this was an evasion of the
law, and the liquors should be forfeited
to the United States
S. Hollister jackson Of Barre and W.
A. Lord of Montpelier attorneys for
the wine company, also for several Gus
toners, argued that the law was com
piled with when the kind and amount
of liquor was given on each barrel or
package, together with the name Of the
consiRnee, and tie customers address.
and that there were not fictitious names
given, and that this was d compliance
with the law The shipments were made
in this way on the grounds Of economy,
as it makes several dollars difference
upon a barrel. whether ii is shipped
to each individual OF in carload lots as
above Indicated
Decision in the case was reserved
The federal grand jury finished its
work yesterday and reported thirteen
true bills found and eleven not found.
One case was disposed Of when Joseph
Lyons Of Burlington, pleaded guilty TO
