Opinion

After argument THE COURT charged the jury that the goods were not under the evidence, and in view of the cases cited, “ready-made clothing,” nor could they be liable to duty by similitude, under the act of 1842, because that law affected only non-enumerated articles, and these were enumerated under the title of wearing apparel; hence they were not dutiable as scarfs, and directed a verdict for the plaintiff.
