TBE COUNT RAISES A POINT IN THE CAPR, Judge Smalley, addressing Mr. K, Delafield Smith, couneel for the plaintiff, inquired—Have you examined the first section of the Act of March 3, 1852, in relation ‘to this case? Jt provides “That in all cases where there is or shai) be imposed any ad valorem rate of duty goods, wares or merchandise imported into the United it shall be the duty of the collector witnin ghose district the same shall be imported or entered to cause the actual market value or wholesale price thereof at od of the ex) jon to the ‘United States in the Pe mt markets of the county from which the same shall have been ini ported ‘into the United States to be appraised, estimated and ‘ascertained, and to such value or price shall be added a except insurance, and including in commissions , at the usual rates, the pare ‘where ‘the same may bo y ansessed."” ‘the importers were, and then, if by the Collector, the ditler- that Phillips’ Report would and that it would be unne-essary to give further »vidence in respect to it. judge Smal: -y—If it js agreed that the facts are to be taken agcorre ,onding with that report, it would be un- necestary; ba, upon Mr, Phillips’ own evidence, that is ‘only a genere) average upon which the Custom House may very properly act, but which they are at liberty to ‘they will repudiate.

Mr. Courtney—Your Honor heard my instructions read, in which I am directed to raise every tegal objection in in the case. Judge Smalley —That is clearly your right. Mr. Courtuey—The only difficulty is with regard to this Phillips’ Report, which was got up as a matnal con- venience bety.eon Mr, Ogden and Mr. Phillips, ond never had any bin¢iag force upon the Treasury Nepartment, I am prepa’d to siow a letter from ry McCal- Toon on this question, repudiating the whole subject as based upon this report.

Judge Smailey—Philiips’ Report is not in evidence except agreement w.th the party, The District At- torney will not avree; and then the only question is, if you want time to furnish evidence, it will be granted it, s 79Ge sm'th—Will your Honor postpone the case till ‘Wednesday?
