Before the Third Division,
    June 27, 1945
    No. 50306.
    Protest 104728-K/12594 of Balsa Ecuador Lumber Corp. (New Orleans).
   Opinion by

Keefe, J.

At the trial the case was submitted upon the record without the introduction of any evidence. From an examination of the entry papers it was found that the shortage reported in the affidavit was disallowed because it had not been verified by the inspector or measurer. Upon the filing of protest, a report was requested from the discharging inspector as to the correctness of the importer’s claim of shortage. This report established there was no shortage and since there was no evidence to support the importer’s claim, the protest was overruled. ‘ •
