make no decision nor give any instruc-

cases come before him on appeal from
the decisions of the board of general ap-
praisers, as to whether diamonds, seeds
and certain other articles are by the
terms Of the bill on the dutiable or free
liat. Collectors will without instruc-
tions hold them to be dutisbe, in order
TO protect themselves, and importers
must go to law if they contest these
rulings.
