Description
[Syllabus from pages 342-344 intentionally omitted] Error to the Circuit Court of Maryland. At the district court of the United States for the district of Maryland, on the 27th day of December 1839, the United States filed an information claiming a forfeiture of twenty-two pieces of cloth, of the value of $2500. The information contained nine counts. Afterwards, and before the trial of the cause before a jury, a discontinuance was entered by the district-attorney of the United States, of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth counts. The case was tried before a jury in July 1840, on the remaining counts in the information; and a verdict and judgment were rendered in favor of the United States. The claimant took a bill of exceptions to the charge of the court, and prosecuted a writ of error to the circuit court. In that court, a judgment was entered, pro form a, in favor of the United States; and the case was brought by the claimant, Thomas Wood, by writ of error, to the supreme court.
