Protest 974362-G/11505 of Wm. J. Oberle, Inc. (New Orleans).
[MAJORITY — Evans, J.]
Opinion by
Evans, J.
The record indicated that the collector did not follow the examiner’s classification. No positive proof was produced to establish that the contents of the bag in question were as claimed. As there was no evidence of clerical error the protest was overruled, the court saying that it is not required to speculate as to the probabilities.
