At the trial it was stipulated that the issue herein is similar in all material respects to that involved in United States v. Browne Vintners Co., Inc. (34 C. C. P. A. 112, C. A. D. 351) and that the merchandise, consisting of 40 umbrellas from case number 22, was not in fact imported. In .accordance with stipulation of counsel and following the decision cited it was held that duty is not assessable upon the 40 umbrellas missing from case number 22. The protest was sustained to this extent.
