*Under the Act of 1861 the Department decided, (July 12, 1861, N. Y.,) that the specific provision for "hollow ware" in that act did not embrace any other than castings of iron. The context of that provision showed clearly that no other was included in it. But the present provision is general and seems to include all metal hollow ware coated, glazed, or tinned, not otherwise specified.-EDITOR.

*I do not feel quite certain that this provision, in the connection in which it now stands in the law, covers any other than so-called "all-wool" goods. But as it embraced mixed goods in the former law, Congress probably did not intend to change its effect in the new.-EDITOR.

Certain so-called "bijoutry," consisting of a mirror, flagon, card-case, opera-glass, etc., mfd. of gold, precious stones, and glass, held dtbl. as mfs. in part of gold or of glass, (S. S., 2932.)

In this decision (S. S. 5103,) it was held that in accordance with the ruling in Hecht v. Arthur, "steel brooches, brass ear-rings, gilt chains, gilt ear-drops and bracelets, also ornaments of the same kind made of horn, shell, ivory, and various materials, and imitations of turquoise, set, and articles of this class generally, which are adapted and designed for use as jewelry." should be classified as jewelry.

In S. S., 5208, the Department made the rule that "articles of jewelry, which are to contain precious stones by way of adornment, and which are as complete as those which are not intended to be set, are practically within the range of jewelry, as understood by the trade."

*The term "lace" was under former laws held by judicial and Department rulings to include only those fabrics made wholly by the lace-maker upon a cushion, from thread of different materials, flax, cotton, silk, or other, white or colored, wound on bobbins, moved by hand. "There are articles, such as some kinds of fichus, collars, and other similar articles for ladies' use, which are manufactured into the form of fichus and collars originally by the lace-maker, and pass from the hands of the lace-maker, without further manufacture or addition, into a condition fit for actual wear." "These articles the Department regards as laces, dutiable according to their classification and character of their component materials." But fichus, collars, wearing apparel, or other articles, wholly or partly of lace, made up or completed after the same has left the lace-maker's hands, are not so regarded, (S. S., 1639, 5223, 5322, 5457, 5482, and 5584.) But quære? as to how far the above definitions apply to the present laws, which eliminate the term "thread lace" and substitute those of "cotton lace" and "flax lace."

If commercial usage extends the term "lace" to articles cotton or linen, not made on cushions, etc., in the manner of "thread lace," it would seem that they must be regarded as cotton or linen laces under the new provisions of the statutes, and that the classification of thread laces now depends upon the material of which they are made.

There is no specific provision for laces of any other vegetable, or of any animal fibre. The classification of these must therefore be made either under the general provisions for manufactures of such fibres respectively, or in accordance with their use as trimmings, wearing apparel, etc., or, if applicable, under the provisions for similitudes.
