OF the usual bond conditioned to pay the duty ascer-
taned to be due by the Collector The importers subse
Quently paid duty Of 81 per box on the recrackers

required Bome time after such payment, and without
notice, as Is claimed, the importers, the Collector
"quidaed" the recrackers at 35 per cent ad vaorem
and demanded an additional duty on them OF AOo to
recover which suit brought. 1t was tried In the
United States District Court and verdict was directed
for the Government subject the ruling OF the Court
law point to be argued at future time. That
point was: Are the importers barred from giving urther
testimony 10 the amount OF duty they should pay
" not having protested against and appealed from the
decision OF the COectorP 1t argued yesterday,
