Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Brown, J.

The Government analyst reported that the samples are shaped like phonograph records and consist of about 8 percent paper backed with about 92 percent of a composition which contains approximately 20 percent ■shellac, 75.2 percent clay, and 4.8 percent carbon black pigment. The testimony of the witness for the plaintiff was held insufficient to establish that the merchandise was not in chief value of shellac or copal. The protest was therefore ■overruled.
