Ringgold v. Lewis
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of District of Columbia · Decided December 15, 1828
3 D.C. 367; 20 F. Cas. 816; 3 Cranch 367
Ringgold v. Lewis

Opinion of the Court

The CoijRT (MoeSell, J., contra■,) was of opinion that the marshal was not entitled to poundage on the bank notes, being of opinion, from his return, that if they could lawfully be taken, (of which they doubted,) they were not taken into his actual custody so as to make himself chargeable therefor ; but that from the return it appears that he attached only the money and banknotes standing to the credit of TSF. Farrow in the bank.
