    1252. WAREHOUSEMAN — Is a warehouseman liable for damages caused by the freezing of a car radiator where clause in receipt exempted bailor from liability for frozen battery, and when warehouseman affirmed in evidence the fact that it was the custom of the trade to take no precautions against freezing?
    Attorneys — Stearns, Chamberlain & Royon for Car Co.; Quigley & Byrnes for Warehouse Co.; al lof Cleveland.
   The Moon Motor Co. contends in the Supreme Court that a warehouseman is liable when car is damaged by water freezing in the cooling system in spite of the facts that said warehouseman was protected by a clause in the receipt as to frozen batteries and that evidence was introduced to show that it was not the custom of the trade to take precautions against freezing.
