ship Clifton, from New Orleans, and ordered them
to BE- placed in the extensive store Of the defendant
near Dover street, running through from Water to
Front. Three or four days after the property had
the defendant cone that but 81 bales had been
delivered, and refused to account for mouU he
present action was therefore brought. On beAa4 OF
the plaintiff, three four carmen, who stated that
they were regularlysicensed, but were journey men
to William Brown, =" a boss carman,' testified to
having delivered II bales at the store, for which
the superintendent refused TO give a receipt, al

ship receiving them. These receipts were
produced. La one or two instances there was
trifing discrepancy, bat Mr.. Western sontended
