THE POLICK BOARD MANDAMUS a it has already appeared in the Heraxp that Freda. rico Fuentes, of Bolivia, bas had a quantity of mer- Chandise seized by the Custom Houxe officers on a charge of bis having passed it through witnout pay- mentot duties, In the Murine Court, yesterday, be- fore Judge Sinnott aud a jury, there came on for trial @ suit brought by Mr. Fueates to reeover from Victor Allien the sum of $1,700. Allien was associated with Mr. Fuentes iu passing the goods through the Custoni House, and it is now charged against him that between him and the Custom House officers Fuentes has so jar got rather the worst of i, The story of the latter, as told on the witness stand, is that be 18a member of the Orm of Fuentes & Co, which, ander that name, has existed iu Bolivia tor 106 years, During the past twenty-two years he has travelled ina business ca- pacity for ihe firm, but this is the first time he bas brought goods into an American port. When be arrived here in the City of Chester, about Aix weeks ago, he was unable io speak English, aud met Allien, who spoke French to him, and told him he wis interpreter for the hotel where has he was going, and also for the Erte Railway, and would assist him ip getting bis goods through the Custom House, With this understanding he (Fuentes) aigned the usual declaration for the Cusium Houso olficers and gave to Allien foreign gold and bilis of the value of about $1,700. He saw his lust trunk locked by a man whom be supposed was a Custom House ollicer and whom he poited outia Court, The gentleman turned out to be Inspector Laird. He (Fuentes) saw, as he sup- posed, Allien transfer money to the Custom House officer, and being then told by Allien that it was alt Tight bad his trunks removed to his hotel, Suvse_ quently be was told by Ailicu that he bad saved him $800 in duties, and wanted that sum, which Fuentes Tefueed. Stil later bis goods were soized for non-pay- ment of duties, The Witness ou cross-examination ‘Was most positive in denying that he instructed Allien to tell tue Custom Houso oificers that be was u priest apd intended to take the goods to Peru for his own Wse; on the contrary, he had already made to the Cus- tom House officials the declaration of the contents of his trunks, and that they consisted of merchandise as well a8 persona! effects, The witness, on being usked if he nad ever offered to sel! the goods to a Dr. Perry, or bad asked the Doctor to assiat him in negotiating a uswered that he was not sick, and kuew no doc- turned out of hia he pronounced » two receipted bills, covering $150, tor bis two wi ? expenser. He 13 worth, in his own country, be about $100,000, but since the government seized all bis goods he had not enough, ip thie strange country eveu to pay the jury in the case, Ip several interviews he had with Captain Brackett the later gave him to understand that his joods would bo reiurned {to bim, but said wanted no lawyers there, With the reserva- tion that other witnesses might be called on Debalt of plaiutiff when they arrived the delence Wea entered upon, first witness ¢: Customs Inspector John Laird. He testi in sub- ata Fuentes made au aifidavit that he was oing to Peru; that the si Was stated to him by lien, aud also that he @ priest, and bi the truth of thi passed his trunks heard of no money b¢ paid; he knows that paste diamonds are pot used for the arid ottice, and would not be passed duty tree, but he aid not remem- ber if be saw i€ on the deciaration; being told what Fuentes wasa priest, and baving openea one trunk und seen some priest’s vestments there. he supposed it was all right; he did not see Allien exhibit a vadge, but he may havo done #0, ‘bight there not be silks im the bottom of that trunk?” askea couns: “There might,” a “Was your search, was a priest?” ‘uenies looked likea priest, notwithstanding he bad a mustache,” answered the witness. “Would you take me to bea priest if | told you so?” asked Counsellor Solomon, suaking his bushy side whiskers and mustucue, “1 would not,’’ promptly and energetically answered | the witness. Jobn J. Pollock, another inspector, testified that the | declaration of Fuentes was Lauded to him, w the effect that he was golug to South America, but s pecting something wrong, ordered nis trunks to tue public store, and subsequently, under orders of Geu- @rai Nicholls and after inspection vy Luira, they were assed; be spoke to Fuentes on the bout and asked 1m some questions in English tn relation to tbe sub- Stance of his decluration, the wituess said, but subse- quently corrected himself, and said he supposed some one on board—a lady, he thougnt—interprated tor him; he declived to answer if he was now employed in the Gustom House; he nad but two conversations with Fuentes, one on tho boat and the other 1a the house on the dock; he neard Laird testifying that he had orders from him (Pollock) tuat Fuentes bad made the necessary affidavit and his trunk should bo passed, he bad no recollection of having said so; 10 | tes’ declaration he swore ne ge jest and go- Ing to Bolivia; Laird was told by General Nicholls thit if he Was satisfied that the deciaration was correct uud the goods were of no marketable value to pass them ; is not sure, but he muy nave repeated to Laird what General Nicholls said. Tne sworn declaration of Mr. Fuentes was bere produced to which the witness Aad reterred, but 1t was ound to contain no statement that he was a priest or anything to that effect. Vaptain Brackett was next examined, and went sub- Stantially over the story of the seizures as it hus been already told in the Heratp. He said the reason why there was delay tn issuing @ warrant tor the arrest of Mr. Fuentes alter the first seizuro was that until sub- sequent seizures hau beea made he wa: isued but that the story of Fuentes th: ered the witness. iD, to satisty yourself that he e intended Lo g0 to South America and had already sent a portion of ‘bis goods there was true, At this point the trial was adjourned to this morn- i The whole amouat of goods seized was stated to be about $8,000, Throughout bis examination tho witness Fuentes answered with great prompiness and Qpparent frankness. The Custom House ollicers were resent in force, and auong the interested triends of if, Fuentes was the billiardist Garnier. ‘HE CRUSHED TRAGEDIAN.
