protests 222799-K and 222800-K (Los Angeles).

Opinion:
Opinion by
Donlon, J.
When the protests were called for trial, plaintiffs' counsel stated that he "can get a witness but I don't know how competent he is" and requested continuance in order to obtain "permission for my dropping the case." No evidence having been introduced and plaintiffs not having overcome the presumption of correctness attaching to the collector's action, the protests were overruled.
