Protest 59521-K of Somerset Importers, Ltd.

Opinion by

At the trial the collector’s report, together with the oath of the importer on short shipment, was admitted in evidence. It appeared from the record that the collector failed to send the importer the notice of shortage as required by article 812, Customs Regulations of 1937.
