“This was an action of debt brought in the district court, in the name of the postmaster general of the United States, upon a bond given to the postmaster general by the defendants, with condition that the defendant Ustick, who had been appointed postmaster at Burlington, should well and truly execute the duties of the said office; and once in three months, and oftener if, required, render accounts of his receipts and expenditures, as postmaster, to the general post office, in the manner prescribed by the postmaster general; and should pay all the moneys that should come to his hands for postages to the postmaster general, deducting his legal commissions. The breach is, that, at divers days and times, after the date of the said bond, there came to the hands of Ustick, for postages, over and above his legal commissions, large sums of money, viz. the sum of $1800, which sum he had neglected and refused to pay to the postmaster general and still neglects and refuses, &c. Whereby, &c.”
