Samuel Nelson, United States v. Nine Cases of Silk Hats…
“ This was a libel of information, filed in the district court of the United States v. Nine Cases of Silk Hats, for condemnation and forfeiture, on the allegation that the entry of the goods at the custom-house, was made upon an invoice, in which they were invoiced at a less sum than the actual cost at the place of exporation, with a design to evade the duties. ”
