Case No. 15,406.
UNITED STATES v. HOWLAND.
[2 Cranch, C. C. 508.]1
Circuit Court, District of Columbia.
Nov. Term, 1824.
BONDS FOR DUTIES—ACTIONS—EVIDENCE.
1. The United States may maintain indebitatus assumpsit, for duties not bonded.
[Cited in Stockwell v. U. S., Case No. 13,466.]
2. The collector's books in the handwriting of a deceased clerk, are evidence for the United States.
Indebitatus assumpsit [against Thomas H. Howland] for duties not bonded.
Mr. Fendall, for defendant, contended that indebitatus assumpsit would not lie for duties; and that the collector's books, in the handwriting of a deceased clerk, were not evidence.
But THE COURT (THRUSTON, Circuit Judge, absent) overruled both objections.
