Letter
John Seys to William H. Seward, January 8, 1867
[Extract.]
Mr. Seys to Mr. Seward
No. 5.]
Legation of the United States, Monrovia, January 8, 1867.
Sir: I have the honor to enclose two copies of the message of his Excellency the President of Liberia, at the opening of the legislature now in session.
I take pleasure in calling attention of the department to the fact that the daring violation of the revenue laws of this republic on the part of one Harris, a subject of Great Britain, to which reference is made in the said message, is being duly punished.
An appeal being taken to the supreme court of Liberia from the recent decision of a lower court in which the defendant was found guilty, the final adjudication of the case is still pending.

I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient servant,
JOHN SEYS.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
