to all ,wances for damage, it has been customary t-tio, 00
allowances on foreign corn in the measurable clea„„Pe of to
account of the heated state of the grain at the ou'ate Old

distinct from actual damage, and was even S° obefiti
granted in both cases, where it could be satistactorq_bippe
as required by law, that the grain had actually been asap;
in a heated state, and had also sustained damage to ert, eon:
or lesser extent by bad weather experienced at sea. Wee'
sequence of this distinction having always been , iattn; of;0;
