Family carriage horses used as such abroad were entitled to tree entry, under paragraph 516 ot the act ot 1890, as "household effects."
HORSES.
This was an appeal by Eugene Sandow from a decision of the board of general appraisers as to the classification for duty of certain horses brought to this country by him. Albert Comstock, for plaintiff. James T. Van Rensselaer, Asst. U. S. Atty. WHEELER, District Judge. These are horses conceded, in argument, to have been so trained and used in exhibitions as to be implements of occupation of the plaintiff. The ship in which he came would not bring them, and they arrived otherwise a few days after he did. They were not in his possession as of a person at the time "arriving within the United States," within the requirement of paragraph 686 of the act'of 1890, for he was not then arriving, but had arrived some time before. Rosenfeld v. U. S., 13 C. C. A. 450.66 Fed. 303. The evidence taken in this court shows that they had been used abroad as family carriage horses for three years before being brought to this country. Arthur v. Morgan, 112 U. S. 495, 5 Sup. Ct. 241, shows that a family carriage used abroad comes within the words of paragraph 516. The reasoning by which this "household conclusion is arrived at in that case would seem to include the carriage horses necessary for the use of the carriage as \vell· as the carriage itself. This construction has been put by the treasury department on importations of carriage horses since that time. This decision and the course of the department seem to require that these horses should be classified Its household effects, under paragraph 516. Decision reversed. UNITED STATES v.

This was an appeal by the United States from a decision of the board of general appraisers allowing the correction of the invoice of certain grain bags made in this country, and reimported, after having been sent abroad. Henry D. Sedgwick, Jr., Asst. U. S. Atty. Stephen G. Clarke, for defendant. WHEELER, District Judge. The protest in this case raised the question as to remission of duties on grain bags exported from this country and returned. The hoard of general appraisers allowed an error in the name of the vessel in one of the invoices to be corrected,

and the duties to be remitted. This appeal is made by the government aga,:nst that remission. To allow the correction of an invoice by filing a new one seems to be proper, and the decision of the board of general appraisers is affirmed, for the reasons stated by them. Decision affirmed.

Platt, Asst. U. S. Atty. WHEELER, District Judge. This importation is of olive pits ground. They are not edible. They were assessed under section 4, against a protest that they come under paragraph 24 of the act of 1890, which provides for"Drugs, such as barks, beans, berries, balsams, buds, bulbs and bulbous roots and excrescences, such as nut galls, fruits, flowers, dried fibre grains, gums, and gum resins, herbs, leaves, lichens, mosses, nuts, roots and stems, spices, vegetables, seeds (aromatic, not garden seeds), and seeds of morbid growth, weeds, woods used expressly for dyeing, and dried insects, any of the foregoing which are not edible, but which have been advanced in value, or condition, by refining, or grinding, or by other process of
It seems to fall within this class, as not edible, but advanced in manufacture by grinding. Decision reversed. UNITED STATES v. FENSTERER et at. (Circuit Court, S. D. New York. No. 2,400. CuSTOMS DUTIES-CLASSIFICATION-MANUFACTURES OF GI,ASS.
