Vessel departing from port of arrival before

making report of entry; master liable. . R. S., s. 2773.

The words "more interior district" mean a district farther within the indentation of the contiguous country. United States v. Bearse, 4 Mason, 192. It is a departure or an attempt to depart, and not an intention to violate the revenue laws, which will justify a seizure. Le Tigre, 3 Wash. C. C. 567, 572. The mere transit through a river which is the boundary between the United States and a foreign State, for the purpose of proceeding to a foreign port, is not to be deemed an

arrival within the limits of the United States from a foreign port. The Apollon, 9 Wheat. 362, 6 L. ed. 111. See S. T. D. 8280, 8308.

Under § 30 of the cited statute of 1799, it was held that the report of arrival must be made at the office of the chief officer of the customs; that a report to an inspector, on board the vessel, or in a shop on shore, did not comply with the act, and that report be made, whether the arrival is voluntary, or by stress of weather, or at another than the intended port of discharge. United States v. Webber, 1 Gall. 392; United States v. Rendell, 1 Curtis, 369; United States v. Galacar, 1 Sprague, 545; United States v. Randall, Id. 546. See also United States v.

[ocr errors]

Occurrences subsequent to the accrual of the right of forfeiture cannot waive that right or estop the United States from asserting it. United States v. One Purple Cloth Costume, 158 F. R. 899. A passenger carrying precious stones loose in his pocket must declare

them the same as articles in his trunk. United States v. 21812 Carats Loose Emeralds, 153 F. R. 643. The specification of the "trunk" is equivalent to mention of its contents. United States v. One Trunk, 171 F. R. 772. As to an insufficient indictment, see Keck v. United States, 172 U. S. 434, 453, 43 L. ed. 505. Any dutiable article in the baggage which was not at the time of making the entry of such baggage under § 2799 "mentioned to the collector before whom such entry was made by the person making the entry" is subject to forfeiture under this section, without regard to fraudulent intent, but it is a sufficient "mention" of an article to avoid forfeiture if it is called to the attention of the officer, who, as representative of the collector, takes the entry or declaration, although it is not mentioned therein. United States v. One Pearl Necklace, 111 F. R. 164, reversing 105 Id. 357. As to the effect of intention to evade payment, see The Robert Edwards, 6 Wheat. 187, 5 L. ed. 238; 23 A. G. Op. 63. This section does not apply to goods smuggled successfully through the custom-house. United States v. Five Packages of Tapestry, 114 F. R. 496. This section was not affected by the Act of June 22, 1874, c. 391, and where packages entered as personal effects contain also valuable dutiable goods, such goods only, and not the entire packages, are forfeited. 18 A. G. Op. 326. See Friedenstein v. United States, 125 U. S. 224, 31 L. ed. 736; In re Leszynsky, 16 Blatch. 9, 18.

Master failing to have correct manifest. . R. S., s. 2809.

The omission must be intentional to incur forfeiture. United States v. A Lot of Umbrellas, 12 F. R. 412; United States v. The Stadacona, 4 Am. L. T. 213. It was held that there could be no decree of forfeiture where a practice had long prevailed with the acquiescence of the customs officers to permit officers and crews of vessels to import and pay duties upon merchandise without entering the same upon the vessel's manifest. United States v. Three Trunks, 7 Sawyer, 364, 8 F. R. 583. Also United States v. Hutchinson, 1 Haskell, 146; United States v. The Missouri, 9 Blatch. 433. If the master takes goods without a bill of lading or invoice, intending to
