G.R. No. 12472. August 11, 1917
DY SUN TIT, PLAINTIFF AND APPELLANT, VS. THE INSULAR COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS, DEFENDANT AND APPELLEE.
Decisions / Signed Resolutions August 11, 1917 JOHNSON, J.:
JOHNSON, J.:
The only question presented by this appeal is whether or not a minor son, who
had never been in the Philippine Islands, may enter, after the death of his
father who had been a resident Chinese merchant. That question has been answered
in the negative so many times that we deem it unnecessary to discuss the
question again except to recite the former decisions. (Lee Jua vs.
Collector of Customs, 32 Phil. Rep., 24; Tan Lin Jo vs. Collector of
Customs, 32 Phil. Rep., 78; Cang Kai Guan vs. Collector of Customs, 32
Phil. Rep., 102; Yap Tian Un (Sun) vs. Collector of Customs, 32 Phil.
Rep., 487; Du Eng Hoa vs. Collector of Customs, 32 Phil. Rep., 490; Ng
Hian vs. Collector of Customs, 34 Phil. Rep., 248; Lao Hu Niu
vs. Collector of Customs, p. 433, ante; Ex parte Chan
Fool, 217 Fed. Rep., 308.)
