    William DeWolf versus Henry A. S. Dearborn et al.
    
    
      March 15th.
    This was traver for certain goods imported in the plaintiff’s vessel, which on their arrival at Boston were taken and attached on a writ in favor of the United States, as the property of George DeWolf, by the marshal of the United States, one of the defendants, under the direction of the collector of Boston and Charlestown, the other defendant, without payment or tender of the freight due to the plaintiff. The action was sustained with little opposition on the part of the defendants, the point intended to be raised by them not being fairly presented by the case.
    
      Blake (District Attorney) and Blair, for the defendants.
    
      Hubbard, for the plaintiff,
    cited The Constantia Harlessen, Edw. A dm. R. 232 ; Rex v. Lee, 6 Price, 378.
