On the claimants’ Appeal.
This was a petition to the Court of Claims by a British subject to recover duties exacted by the collector of the port of San Juan, and paid under protest, upon goods, wares, and merchandise of the growth, produce, or manufacture of the United States between August 12, 1898, and December 5, 1899.

Opinion:
The defendants demur and the court below sustains the demurrer and dismisses the petition.
The decision of the court below is reversed, on the ground that duties imposed after April 11,1899, and prior to December 5,1899, can be recovered back on the authority of Dooley's case (182 U. S. E., 222).
Mr. Justice BroavN
