Opinion by

Keefe, J.

At the trial it was established that it was necessary to destroy the drums in order to remove the contents, and that_after the removal of the wool grease from the containers, the mutilated drums are carted away to the dump at the expense of the importer. The collector’s amended reports were offered in evidence wherein it is stated that the drums were of the character to which free entry may be granted. In view of the evidence the protests were sustained as claimed.
