states that be the custom of merchants a bill of lading of
geode being transferable by indorsement, the property in
the goods may thereby pass to the indorse, but nevertheless
all right in reepset of the contract contained in the bill of
lsdisg madames in the original shipper or owner, and it is
expedient that such rights should pass with the property.
Farther, it is declared that it frequently happens that the
goods in respect of whisk bills of Islip' purport to be signed
have not bees laden on board, and it Is proper that such bills
of lading in the hands of • bormijkle bolder for value should
Ni he quietism:l,l3y the auto, or other porton so giving the
jam as the ground of the goods not having been laden ;
thmehre it is enacted that the rights snider trills of lading
Viet in the oessigate or 'adore*. The set is not to
am the right of stoppage as erasarsiss, or claims for freight.
AMU of ladleg in the hinds of • coasignes, A., Is to be
illeelesive stadium of the shipment as agalast the waster,
osteb power to the master to esonents himself by showing
fraud or airropesnatatios.
