District Court, E.D. Michigan March 15, 1870 (United States v. Learned)

LONGYEAR, District Judge.

The questions arising upon this motion will be taken up in the order in which they arose in the charge, rather than the order in which they are presented in the motion. The first and second charges given present the question: Is the instrument mentioned in the indictment—(see copy, ante)—such an one as was required by the internal revenue law to be stamped?
