District Court, S.D. New York June 5, 1905, No. 3,907 (Alexander D. Shaw & Co. v. United States)

TOWNSEND, Circuit Judge.

The appellant shipped from abroad certain wines in casks and barrels and certain spirits in bottles. When the importation reached New York there had been a complete destruction of some of the goods, and as to these the Board of General Appraisers properly sustained the protests of the importer, and held that no duty was collectible.
