¶1Customs Duties — Classification—Breccia.

¶2The question being one of fact, decision of board of general appraisers that an importation was “breccia,” and therefore enterable free of duty under Tariff Act 1897, par. 508, instead of being dutiable under paragraph 114, will not be disturbed, having ample evidence to sustain it.

¶3Appeal by the United States from a Decision of the Board of General Appraisers.

¶7(orally). The merchandise in question was assessed for duty under paragraph 114 of the act of 1897 as “marble in block, rough or squared only.” The importers insist that it should be permitted to enter free of duty under paragraph 508 of the same act as “breccia, in block or slabs.” It is conceded on both sides that the question before the court is a question of fact. The board of general appraisers heard all the evidence and have reached the conclusion that the merchandise is in fact “breccia.” There is ample testimony in the record to sustain this finding, and the court sees no' reason for disturbing it.

¶8The decision of the board of general appraisers is affirmed.
