Armstrong v. United States

Opinion

*244 Mr. Justice Brown

delivered the opinion of the court.

This ease is controlled by the ease of Dooley v. United States, No. 501, just decided. So far as the duties were exacted upon goods imported prior to the ratification of the treaty of April 11, 1899, they were properly exacted. So far as they were imposed upon importations after that date and prior to December 5,1899, plaintiff is entitled to recover them back.

The judgment of the Court of Claims is therefore reversed and the case remanded to that court for fv/rther proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
