Opinion of the Court

Martin, Judge,

delivered the opinion of the court:

This is an appeal from a decision of the Board of General Appraisers, involving the right of an importer to appeal upon a protest claiming a higher rate of duty than that actually assessed by the collector.

The issue is identical with that presented by the case of United States v. Schwartz & Co., decided concurrently herewith. The decision of the board is affirmed, for the reasons set out in that decision.

Montgomery, Presiding Judge, Smith and De Vries, Judges, concurring; Barber, Judge, dissenting.
