the Southern District Of NeW-Aork and received
Yesterday by Solicitor Hamilton of the Law Di-
vision ar the Custom House. 1t sustained the
right Of the Collector permit entry and delivery

15a CROSS horn combs, which in the official mani
fest Of the vessel verified by the master and filed
in the Custom House. according to law, were con-
signed to S Ghazal d Co. The goods were taken
into the custody of the government and remained
there until December 25. 1902. when the consignees

The judge IN his opinion, says:
The Collector is an executive ofhcer; his duties
are ministerial. In the entry Of merchandise and
6Ilsotion OF duties he follows the instruction OF
the written law. He has little discretionary power
and no judicial power He IS not concerned with
questions Of the ownership Of goods which come
into his possession; he is not permitted TO deter
mine DISPUTED Questions of title
he looks 10 the statute as his guide and finds
there a simple effective and sensible rule which
his In substance been the law for more than a
century namely. that the conssnees shall. so far
as the customs law is concerned. be deemed the
owners OF Imported merchandise.
The course taken by the Collector IT was stated at
the Custom House yesterday. which has been Judi
ciaIlv upheld IS in accordance with practices
established by him about year ago 10 expedite,
as far practicable, the public business and TO
save importers from inconvenience and loss when
there was delay in the receipt OF their bills OF
lading through the mails.
