Opinion by

It was stipulated that certain items of the merchandise consist of cheese similar in all material respects to that the subject of Scaramelli v. United States (9 Cust. Ct. 270, C. D. 706) and Abstract 48269. In-accordance therewith it was held that an allowance of 2}i percent should have been made in the weight of the cheese by the collector in computing the duty thereon to compensate for the weight of the inedible coverings on the outside of the cheese. The protest was sustained to this extent.
