Description
ERROR to the district court of the United States, for the district of Orleans. This was a suit brought by the United States against Durousseau and others upon a bond, given in pursuance of the act of congress of December 22, 1807, usually called the embargo act. (Laws U. S. vol. 9. p. 7.) The bond bears date the 16th of May, 1808, and the condition is, that the goods therein mentioned should be 'relanded in the United States, at the port of Charleston, or at some other port of the United States, the dangers of the seas excepted.' The proceedings in the court below are according to the forms of the civil law, by petition or libel and answer. The libel is in the nature of an action of debt for the penalty of the bond, and the plea is in the nature of a special plea, stating facts which were supposed to be sufficient evidence that the defendants were prevented by the dangers of the seas from relanding the goods in the United States.
