    Us V Aniceto Barrias: Maude and Directing Her Movement

    Uploaded by

    Jenny Mary Dagun
    The defendant was charged with violating regulations that prohibited heavily loaded vessels from moving through the Pasig River without steam or other power. The regulations were promulgated by the Collector of Customs. The court found that while the Collector had authority to create regulations to implement customs laws, imposing fines constituted an illegal delegation of legislative power reserved for Congress. Prior case law also established that harbor officials could not impose penalties without explicit authorization from the legislature. Therefore, the defendant could not be fined under the regulations and could only be penalized as outlined in the relevant customs statute passed by Congress.
