Supreme Court of Vermont January 15, 1844 (Pierce v. Smith, Eastman & Co.)

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Bennett, J.

The questions in this case arise upon a disallowance in the defendants’ account of an item of two hundred and five dollars. It seems the plaintiffs shipped to the defendants a quantity of iron, and gave them a guarantee that it should pass the custom house before the enforcement of the tariff duties under the act of 1842.
