Borgfeldt v. United States

124 F. 457 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York | 1900

WHEELER, District Judge.

These are small, slightly made magic lanterns. They do not appear to be substantial enough to be considered optical instruments, for mature persons, under paragraph 98, Schedule B, § 1, c. 349, of the act of August 27, 1894 (28 Stat. 514), where they were assessed, but rather to be toys for children, under paragraph 321, Schedule N, § 1, c. 349 (28 Stat. 533).

Decision reversed.
