    Oct. 28, 1854.
    Customs Duties—False Valuation—Information off Forfeiture.
    [In informations of forfeiture for false valuation of imported goods, it is sufficient to make the averments in the words of the statute.]
    These cases came up on demurrers to the informations filed by the United States district attorney against the goods to forfeit them for false valuation.
    Mr. Joachimssen, for the United States.
    Owen, Betts, & Vose, for claimants.
   HELD

BY THE COURT

That counts of an information, when founded upon a statute like these, are sufficient when they set forth the words of the statute. That although some of the counts in these indictments, if considered alone, would no doubt be held bad, yet some of them are unquestionably sufficient, and, if one count was held sufficient, it comes to the same thing as if all were.

THE COURT will, for the purposes of this case, hold them all sufficient

Demurrers overruled.
