Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoranda of Four Claims Against Mexico: Which Were Submitted to the Late Board and Rejected The schooner Rebecca, with a lawful cargo of goods, sailed on the 4th of April, 1822, from New Orleans, on a trading voyage to Mexico. The property was owned by the claimant, James W. Zacharie; though at the time he had a partner in business with him, named Samuel H. Turner. The concern became embarrassed in consequence of this and other heavy losses, and thereupon closed up the concern, Mr. Zacharie agreeing to pay all the debts from private means; and in consideration thereof, all the assets and claims were assigned to him; and, having paid the debts, became the sole owner of all the effects, and he is the only person who now has, or since the time of said agreement has had, any interest in this claim. The schooner touched, by permission of the authorities there, at old Tampico, then called Pueblo Viejo, and landed a part or all of the cargo. Some articles to a small amount were sold; the articles not sold were reshipped, and the vessel regularly cleared for a further voyage. All the necessary papers for the purpose were obtained from the Mexican custom-house for that purpose, and she left the port, but was detained at the bar. While there, the judge, military commander, and collector, conceived the plan of appropriating the property to themselves; and, under the pretence that they had information which excited a suspicion that it was intended to smuggle the cargo into Mexico, they seized her and her cargo, and by an armed force took them back to Tampico. In consequence of this illegal and outrageous proceeding, the claimant lost not only the cargo, but the vessel, and now presents bis claim for compensation. The facts in this case are not numerous or complicated; and it is not apprehended that the Board will hesitate in coming to the conclusion that the claim is just and well sustained by the evidence. The vessel and cargo, for which compensation is now sought, were owned by Messrs. Zacharie & Turner, merchants of New Orleans, and were sent out to Mexico in 1822, and seized by the Mexican authorities at or near Tampico. Vigorous efforts were made at the time to get possession of the property, and, after its sale, of the avails, but they were unsuccessful.
