In June the lower court refused to order the return of the duties of Sl10.000 paid by Citroen on the necklace con- signed by him to Mrs Leeds This necklace was seized by the sovern- ment two years ago, The pearls were invoked at S220.000 and the duty was assessed al 60 per cent Of the invoiced value. Citreon paid Sl32 ,000. He con- ceded that S23 ,000 of the amount was a lawful duty, but contended that as the pearls Were noJ in necklace form they should have been classified as loose pearls.
 Since the seizure of the Leeu> neck lace importers have ceased .akins chances in shipping pearls in necklace form. and now. jewellers say when an importer wishes to bring 2 necklace into this country ne has the 5ewets taken apart and shipped in different packages, thereby making the ship ment subject to a duty of only 1o per cent Of the invoice value.
