U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit · Decided June 18, 1956
234 F.2d 655; 1956 U.S. App. LEXIS 3737 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

United States v. One Ford Interceptor Automobile

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an order remitting the forfeiture of an automobile seized while being used in the transportation of illegal liquor in violation of the Internal Revenue laws. The claimant was found by the court to be the owner of the automobile and to have had no knowledge or reason to believe that it was being used or would be used in violation of law. We cannot say on the record before us that the findings of the District Judge were clearly wrong or that he abused his discretion in remitting the forfeiture.

Affirmed.
