United States v. Nine Cases of Silk Hats

THIS case was brought up, by writ of error, from the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Louisiana.

It was similar, in its circumstances, to the case of the United States v. Sixty-seven Packages of Dry Goods, and argued by Mr. Cushing, attorney-general, for the United States, at the same time.

Mr. Justice NELSON delivered the opinion of the court.
