e4s- y case of some interest has recently
been decided by Judge fancy on the Mary
land Circuit. \ vessel had signed bill of
lading for 2j0 bushels more of corn to he de-
livered in New York, than she had taken on
board. There was fraud or error in making
out the bill of lading. The vessel proved
that all the corn that had been received by
her had been delivered 70 the consignee in
good order. The question was whether she
was liable for that which she had re0eipted
for in the bill of lading, but had not received.
1t had often been decided that ships were OBJ
liged to deliver all they did receive wher
the quantity was greater than the amoun
mentioned in the bill of lading; were they
liable for the amount when there was de
fcit' The court decided the vessel was labl
for the quantity specified in the bill of lad
| ing, and gave Judgment for the deficit
This will operate to make common carrier
careful in giving receipts for freight.
