The case is stated in the opinion.
MR. JUSTICE HARLAN delivered the opinion of the Court.
Butler, the appellee in the first of the above cases, was a storekeeper of the United States at the Hannis distillery at Martinsburg, West Virginia.

For the reasons stated in the opinion just delivered in White v. Berry, the decree in each of the above cases must be
Reversed, and the causes remanded, with directions to dismiss the bills.
