D. 328), and that a quantity of liquor amounting to 10 percent or more of the total contents of the various barrels, casks, packages, etc., was lost in transit from the port of exportation to the port of destination, because of breakage, leakage, or damage. In accordance therewith it *202was held that an allowance should have been made for the loss appearing upon the gaugers’ returns as verified by the affidavits of the importers.
