U.S. Supreme Court

Otis v. Walter, 19 U.S. 6 Wheat. 583 583 (1821)

Otis v. Walter

19 U.S. (6 Wheat.) 583

Syllabus

Under the Embargo Act of 25 April 1808, c. 170, if a vessel, not actually arriving at her port of original destination, excites, an honest suspicion in the mind of the collector that her demand of a permit to land the cargo was merely colorable, this is not a termination of the voyage so as to preclude the right of detention.
