Absent. TODD, J. THIS was an appeal from the sentence of the Circuit Court of the district of Georgia, which affirmed that of the District Court, condemning the brig Penobscot, and her cargo of salt, for a violation of the acts of Congress, interdicting commercial intercourse with Great Britain and her dependencies, (viz. the acts of March 1st, 1809, vol. 9, p. 243.–May 1st, 1810, vol. 10, p. 186.–The President's proclamation of Nov. 2d, 1810, and the act of 2d March, 1811, p. 346.)
