This is a libel of information for forfeiture of a diamond necklace, of the value of $5,600 or thereabouts, first, under section 2802, Rev. Stat. (Comp. St. § 5499); second, under section 3, subdivisions H and T, of the Tariff Act of October 3, 1913 (Comp. St. §§ 5526, 5791). Two claimants appeared, viz. Madame de Ocon and Madame de Yglesias. A trial by jury was waived in writing, and the issues of fact and law submitted to the court, who entered a general judgment dismissing the libel and awarding the necklace to the claimant Ocon. The government took this writ of error.
