BLATCHFORD, District Judge,

and a jury, the jury, after a short absence, found a verdict for the government condemning the property. The question of the validity of the recent regulation adopted by Commissioner Rollins, that spirits in bond should not be forfeited, was brought up in the case. A portion of this property being in bond, the claimant’s counsel requested the judge to charge the jury that since the making of that regulation, spirits in bond could not be forfeited. THE COURT, however, declined so to charge, holding that the question of forfeiture must be determined by the law, and that under the law spirits in bond could be forfeited
