In an importer’s protest, under par.

P. 538.

10 Cust.App. 165 affirmed.

Certiorari to review a Judgment of the Court of Customs Appeals which, reversing a judgment order of the Board of General Appraisers (unpublished abstract No. 43,391; 37 T.D. 356; Brown, G. A. dissenting), sustained the respondents’ claim.
