This is the substance of a decllen
handed down here yesterday by Fed—

ruling is one of the most vital made
in the Connecticut district of the

tain the forfeiture and seizure 6f the

of liquor. The rum runner was seiz-
ed outside the l2-mlle limit by the

were later landed at New London.

that the vessel was operating under
