In re Wilmerding
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York · Decided March 9, 1892 · Lacombe
49 F. 824; 1892 U.S. App. LEXIS 1666
In re Wilmerding

Opinion of the Court

Lacombe, Circuit Judge,

(orally.) I shall affirm the decision of the board of United States general appraisers in this case, upon the ground that I cannot find that this article is composed of any other vegetable fiber except flax; and therefore I do not find that it is within the designation of the particular paragraph referred to by the importers. Whether or not it is a manufacture of flax I do not now decide. I cannot see that it is a manufacture of some vegetable fiber other than flax. Decision of the board of United States general appraisers affirmed.
