You said you wouldc":-bu: you did. When Bettv. whom you worked so hard, And vet who loved you none the .ess, Wa? prayed, so urgently, to guard A secret from your governess; You recollect her puzzled look, Wishing to do as she wa*, bid, And vcice of badly feigned rebuke, Which vo.ved she wouldn't-but she did. And when, one afternoon, from town (..Forbidden fruit" supposed to be) A new three volume batch came down From Mr. Mudie's "library; You promised that, howe'er a-sailed, You would not even raise :he Ld, But curiosity prevailed Against obedience-and you did. That carden party ! far the best Of any that I've e'er enjoyed ; We sat together, while the rest 'Bare chance !l were otherwise employed ; Tho-.-.Kb your mamma had talked for hours. And ventured firmly to forbid A tete-a-tete among the flowers; You said you wouldn't-jut you did. The things that happened 'neath the shade Of clematis that clustered fair, The things we looked, and thought, and said, And hoted, are neither here nor there. I know not it the day was fine, Or 'neath the clouds the sky was hid; I know io one request of mine You said you wouldn't-and you did. CONFISCATED PROPERTY. ISTPOBTANT DECISION OE THE SUPREME COEBI OF THE UNITED STATES. Spbjoined is an important decision of the United State3 Supreme Court (to which we have already made brief editorial allusion), in reference to the sale of confiscated prop? erty: SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. 2fo. 52-December Tenn, 1867. The Union Insurance Company, Claimant and Intervenor, Appellant, cs. "the United States and Crafts J. Wright et ai-Appeal from Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Mr. Chief Justice Chase delivered the opin? ion of the court. The first questions in this cause relate to jurisdiction. .Che suit below was by libel in the Circuit Court of the United States" for the Eastern Dis? trict of Louisiana. The libel described the case as one of seizure and forfeiture, and alter reciting the act of Congress of ?ugust 6. 1861,*which declared the property of all persons who should knowingly use or employ it, or consent to the use and employment of it in aid of the rebellion, to be lawful subject of prize and capture, proceeded to allege that certain property had been so U6ed and employed, and claimed a decree for :(-. condemnation and for? feiture to the use of the United States and the informant. Upon the filing of this libel, notice was given, monition was published, claims were inter? posed, and testimony was taken in general confoimity with the practice of Courts of Ad? miralty, and & decree was made restoring part and condemning part of the propertv. It was urged in argument, that"the act of Congress does Dot authorize the proceedings instituted in the Circuit Court. The answer to this proposition must be determined by the construction of the act. The first section provides th t propertv used in aid of the rebellion, with conseut "of the owner, shall be the "lawful subject of prize and capture wherever found," and makes it the duty of the President to cause it "to bo seized, confiscated, and condemned." Tho second section provides that such "prizes and capture shall be condemned in the District or Circuit Court of the United States having jurisdiction of th;- amount, or in admiralty, in any district in which the same may be seized, or into which the same may be uken and pro? ceedings commenced." The third section provides that "the Attor- < ney-Gen<u-al, or any district attorney of the United States, in which said property "may at the time be, may institute the proceedings of t condemnation, and in such cases they sholl bc ] wholly for the benefit of the United states; or any person may hie an information with such c attorney, in which case the proceedings shall : be for the use of such informer and the United States in equal parts." < It is sufficiently obvious that the general ob? ject of this enactment was to promote the suppression of rebellion by subjecting property employed in aid of it with the owners consent to confiscation. It extended to all descriptions of property, real or personal, ou land cr on water. All alike were made subjects of prize : and capture, and, under chrection o? the Presi- : dent, of seizure, confiscation and condemna? tion. The act must be construed with reference to this general purpose. In ordinary use the words "prizes and capture" refer, doubtless, to captures on water as maritime prize; but in ? this section they plainly refer to propertv taken on land as well as ort water, and the du? ties prescribed to the President include the taking of this property by civil process as well as by naval or military force, and sanctiou proceedings for confiscation and condemnation in civil course without regard to the mode of seizure. The second and third sections prescribe the action to be taken in the courts. This action is described, generally, in the third section, as "proceedings for condemnation.'7 to be insti? tuted by the Attorney-Genera], or any district attorney. And jurisdiction o? these "proceed? ings" is given to the District or Circuit Court having jurisdiction of the amount, or in adrai- " ralty, in any district where the property is seiz? ed or into which it may be taken. This language is certainly not clear. But we think that the construction which, as we under? stand, has been generally adopted in the dis? trict and circuit courts rn cases of proceedings for the condemnation of : eal estate or property on land, is substantially correct. That con? struction treats the grant of jurisdiction in ad rniralttf as a grant of jurisdiction of the "pro? ceedings of condemnation" to the circuic or district court, according to the amount in suit; with power to both courts to shape those "pro? ceedings" in general conformity to the prac? tice in admiralty. Such proceedings do not necessarily consti? tute a cause in admiralty. When instituted for condemnation of property on land, they have relation exclusively to matters which, in their nature, are not of admiralty cognizance. But Congress may doubtless give jurisdiction of 6uch proceedings to the circuit as well as to th^ district courts, and may authorize the exercise of this statutory jusis?iction in the form and modes analogous to those used in admiralty. : And this, we think, was the purpose of tie act. The difficult; of construction arises from the terms in which jurisdiction is granted "to , any district or circuit court having jurisdic- j tion of the amount, or in admiralty, in any dis- i txict where the property is found." It is said I that the use of the disjunctive "or" restricts < the jurisdiction in admiralty to the district ] courts. And this view is certainly not without BOOM warrant in the phraseology of the act. But when we look beyond the mero words to ( the obvious intent we cannot help seeing that j the word "or" must be taken conjunctive^; < and that the sense of the law is that both the ? circuit and the district courts shall have juris? diction "according to the amount" and "ia ad- 1 miralty." 1 Ihis construction impairs no rights of par? ties. In cases of seizures on land the right of , trial by jury is not infringed. In such cases . the proceedings must be in general conformity to the course in admiralty; but iosues of fact, i on the demand of either party. niu6t be tried 1 by jurv.f Where tue seizure is made on navi- i gabie waters, the course of admiralty may be 1 strictly observed. That this construction carries int o effect the true intention of Congress, sufficiently appears on reference to the act of July 17, lSti2,i in which j it is provided.expressly that proceedings for j . confiscation shall conform cs nearly as may Le to proceedings in admiralty or revenue cas. s. , We think, therefore, that the Circuit Court had juri?di?rion of the cause. 1 It remains to be considered whether the de- 1 cree of the court can bo reviewed here on ap? peal. No appeal is expressly provided by the 1 act of 1861. Ihe constitution, however, giveo to this court appellate jurisdiction in all cases of which the inferior courts of the United States have original jurisdiction, subject to 6uch exceptions and regulations as Congress . shall make; and the act of 1S08 ? provides : , genera?lv for appeals from decisions in ad- \ , miraltv." Some of the judges think it a reason- ? - ?ble construction of the ace that it was not , t intended to except decrees under it irom the I 1 _ I J ?12 ?. S. St., 319. j ? tlhe Sarah.

St., 21L 1 * appellate jurisdiction of thia court; but that it was intended to apply to them the general reflations of admiralty proceedings in respect to appellate as well as to original jurisdiction; while a niajoritv of the court is of opinion that appellate jurisdiction mav be taken of the cause, because the proceedings below, though in a case of common law jurisdiction were sub? stantially according to the course in admiralty; but only for the purpose of reversing; the de? cree of the Circuit Court as irregular, aad directing a new trfaLfl We proceed then to the questions arising upon the merits. The case may be briefly stated. A square of ground in Kew Orleans, with tue buildings upon it," was leased on the 17th ox September, 18C1, by one L?once Burthe to William C. Cook pnd Fran?is L. Cook, who, in October cr November, established on the prem? ises a manufactory of arm6 for the rebe' gov? ernment, and continued tbe business ?mil thc occupation of the city by the national forces in the spring of 1S62. In October. 1SG1, the Union Insurance Com? pany of New Orle:ns took a mortgage froni Burthe upon three undivided twenty-fifths of the property to secure the payment of a note for thirty-five hundred dollars due from him to the company. Subsequently suit was instituted upon the mortgage, and in due course a decree of sale was rendered, under which the insurance com? pany became purchasers of the mortgaged premises for fourteen hundred dollars, and on the 26th of February, 1864, received the sher? iff's deed of the property. In April, 1864, the company obtained a judg? ment for twenty-seven hundred and thirty-five dollars, being the balance due on the note of Burthe, and was about to sell the residue of the property, when further proceeding; was ar? rested by a "military order. It appears further, from the evidence, that three minors of the Burthe family were legal owners of four thirty-sixths ot tbeitproperty on which the gun factory was established. By the decree of the Circuit Court the whole propertv was condemned as forfeited to the United States, except the four thirty-sixths, called in the decree four twenty-fifths, of the minors. An appeal was taken by the Union Insurance Companv and another claimant who has aban? doned the prosecution ot his appeal. No ap? peal was taken by the United States from that part of th i decree which exempted tue inter? ests of the minors from condemnation. There is no reasonable doubt that the Cooks established their manufactory of arms on the ground leased by him to them with the full knowledge and consent of Le ince Burthe. It thus became within the express terms of the act the lawful subject of prize and capture from the time of that establishment. The evidence in respect to the rights of the insurance company is not sc clear. To the ex? tent of the interest created by the mortgage, the company may. doubtless, be properly re? garded as owner. But there is no direct proof J of consent to the unlawful use; and. indee:!, no proof at all. except the fact of taking the mortgage, and it does not appear that the Cooks had taken possession under their lease before the execution of the mortgage. We do not think this evidence of consent sufficient to support a forfeiture. The counsel for the company very properly abandone1 any claim under the judgment re? covered for the balance due on the mortgage nota. The forfeiture was incurred when the Cooks went into actual use of the premises under tho lease, and the subsequent seizure for condemnation divested all intermediate hens. The decree of the Circuit Court must be re? versed as irregular, and the cause remanded for new trial in conformity with this opinion. The property seized having been real estate, the proceedings on the new trial must be con? formed in respect to trial by jury, and the ex? ceptions to evidence to the*course of proceed? ing by information on the commonflaw side of the court ir cases of seizure upon land.""
