The United States vs. Daniel Moomey.—The defendant seas charged with having forcibly removed a truck and ‘wo borses which had been seized by @ depnty collector ef tmternal revenue. Upon examination the evidence stowed that the deputy collector, one Nelson D. Phair, who, it was alleged, bad seized the property with the re- moval of which the defendant bad been accused, was deputy collector in the Sixth district of this city, and shat within the jurisdiction of the Sixth Collection dis- anct be found the horses and truck with whiskey, which Le believed to be fraudulent, on board. He stopped the Borses and told the driver that be wiehed to examine the whiskey. The driver, in place of obeying this order, whipped his porses and drove off. He was pursued into ct by the collector who there seized the whiskey. It was claimed by counsel for the defendant that ‘the seizure ap the Sixth district was not a seizure within the meaa- sug Of (Le law, that the seizure in the Tmirty-second is- tyict was without the jurisdiction of the Deputy Cellec- tor, and that he had po right to make it. Counsel fur- Aher raiged other questions of law, but the Commissioner +m an oral decision pronounced yesterday disposed of the tase wholly on the two points already adverted to, With respect to the first point, as to the seizure or attempted seizure ip the Sixth district, the Commissioner held that the act of the Collector in’ stopping the borses aud in- forming the driver that he wished to examine the whis- ey to ascertain if it was fraudulent, was not @ serzure ‘within the meaning of the law, aad referred to & case 43 Wheaton, page 246) where the court held that to coo- stXte a seizure there must be an open, visible posses. wen cinimed, and full authority exercised over the property. The language of the judge in that case was “that the parties from whom the property Bas been taken must understand that they are no longer at liberty to exercise any contro! over it.’ With respect to the second point, the right to seize im the Thirty-second district, the Com missioner alzo held that from the spirit and words of the Anternal revenue statutes, defining and dexcribing col- Jector’s districts, it was not intended that the collector -of one district should exercise any power or duty in the district of another without special command and author, be Bd the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, as pro: ‘vided for in the act. Adopting # decision by Commis. goner Botts, in the case of Arubeimer and anotucr, Commissioner Osborn held that the seizure made by the Deputy Collector in the Thirty-second district was with- out authority and void, and he observed that the powers end duties committed to those coliectors by the revenue Jaws were ample and sufficiently stringent for their own districts without going beyond their limits. He would, ‘therefore, not permit the authority of hie office to be caved im justifying collectors to make seizures outside heir own distrivts, The defendant was accordingly @Oharuc of lilegally Removing Whiskey from @ Seized Distillery.
