Description
Messrs. McDonald and Butler, for the plaintiffs in error, argued that inasmuch as the court found that the boxes were delivered at the proper place in New York, in the precise condition in which they were when they left the manufactory, the sureties had complied with the condition of their bond; that the fraud committed by May was unknown to them, and was successful only by reason of the negligence of the revenue officer who examined the boxes before they left the factory, and who branded them as containing plug tobacco. The learned counsel appended to their brief certain 'Rules' prescribed by the Internal Revenue Bureau, a strict observance of which, they conceived, might have prevented the fraud.
