Opinion

Opinion by

Tilson, J.

The only evidence before the court was a sample of the imported merchandise and the sworn statement of the examiner that the sample is an infant’s bootee and that in his opinion it is not footwear. It was held that an examination of the sample, in the light of the authorities on the subject, is not sufficient to overcome the presumption of correctness in favor of the classification made by the collector. The protests were therefore overruled.
