“ The wool or worsted formed an appreciable portion of the value of the goods. There is nothing in the case to show the value of , or the amount of duties assessed on, the wool and cotton goods, as distinguished from the worsted and cotton goods. The plaintiffs offered evidence tending to show that the articles imported by them, similar to samples introduced by them in evidence, were stockings, were worn by men, women, and children, and were made on frames. ”

“ The plaintiffs then moved the court to direct the jury to find a verdict in their favor, which motion was granted. To such ruling the defendant excepted. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs. The amount was, by agreement of the parties, adjusted at the custom-house, and a judgment was entered for the plaintiffs, including costs, for $1,897.96, to review which the defendant has brought a writ of error. ”
