R. F. Downing & Co. v. United States
U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York · Decided May 24, 1905 · Townsend
140 F. 92; 1905 U.S. App. LEXIS 4760
R. F. Downing & Co. v. United States

Opinion of the Court

TOWNSEND, Circuit Judge.

It has been found impossible to draw any substantial distinction between the facts in this case and those presented in Fisher v. U. S. (C. C.) 99 Fed. 260, and Downing v. U. S. (C. C.) 130 Fed. 393. I am constrained, therefore, to hold, in view of said opinions, that the decision of the Board of General Appraisers should be reversed.

Decision reversed.
