Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Johnson, J.

It was stipulated that the issues herein are similar in all material respects to those involved in United States v. Browne Vintners Co., Inc. (34 C. C. P. A. 112, C. A. D. 351) and that the merchandise reported by the inspector as manifested, not found, was not in fact received by the importer. In accordance with stipulation of counsel and following the decision cited it was held that duty is not assessable upon the two cases of merchandise which were reported by the inspector as manifested, not found. The protests were sustained to this extent.
