Collector Erred in Valuing Goatskins Duty
Judge Colt of the United States circuit court ruled that Collector Lyman misvalued 27 bales of tanned goatskins from Madras by using the India rupee rather than Treasury Department value. Beebe & Sons challenged the ad valorem duty, and the board of general appraisers overruled the collector. The ruling aligns with the Mint director’s lower valuation.
