Von Hoffman & Co.. of New York, and the Manhattan Savings Institurion against the Upived States, in- volving the title to sixteen fivé-twenty govern- ment coupon bonds, consols of 1865, which were stolen from that institution by burglars on the 2th of October, 1878. In the following year the bonas were purchased by R. Raphael & Sons, in London, and were by them sold to L. Von Hoffman &Co.

Raphael & Sons bought any of them the Secretary of the Treasury had called them all for redemption. The court unantmously held that the bonds were brought to maturity by the calls, and, having been stolen from the Man- hattan Savings Institution, its title to them was good as against L.
