““A protest which indicates to an intelligent man the ground of the importer’s objection to the duties levied upon the articles should not be discarded because of the brevity with which the objection is stated.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“* * * If, however, the papers are not connected together in fact, they are not considered as connected in law, unless, at least, the paper signed refers in some way to the other, which may then be construed as forming a part of it. Hinde v. Whitehouse (7 East, 558) ; Kenworthy v. Schofield (2 B. & C., 945). The proper test is, whether a person reading these papers would be deceived or misled as to the actual intention of the writer.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“A protest is not required to be made with technical precision, but is sufficient if it shows fairly that the objection afterwards made at'the trial was in the mind of the party and was brought to the knowledge of the collector, so as to secure to the Government the practical advantage which the statute was designed to secure.”
