was tried yesterday. in the circuit court, TO re-
cover from Messrs. Maxwell e. Parsons the value
Of certain goods, entrusted to them TO forward
10 Lana1s, but which were lost on Like Onta.
RIO. The plaintiff coniended that the defend
ants should have forwarded the good, by the
Erie canal, and Lake Erie, by which route they
might have reached their destination in sixteen
days, whereas by sending them by Lake Ontsrio
sixty-eight days had been consumed in their
passage 10 whore they were lost The ground
taken by the defence was, that the defendants
could not be held liable as common carriers, rs
they only undertook to fora ard the goods, anc
did not own the boat in which they we're sent;
or, at least, that they could only be considered
common carriers as far rs Albany, where their
liability as such ceased, and from thence they
were only forwarders.
The court charged, however, that IL the de-
PENDANTS were engaged, as line, IN transporting
goods from this place TO Canada, for freight, and
held themselves out 10 the public as pursuing
such an occupation, they were liable a. common
carriers, although they made use Of boats which
did not belong to them, and If The goods were
not delivered in a reasonable time, defendants
are liable for them. The jury gave verdict for
