Our shippers and cOnsignees would do
well to read the following decision, lust
rendered in Cincinnati
Beattie against the steamboat Com
mOdOre. Judge Taft delivered the opin-
ion. The suit was on a bill of lading
against a steamboat for non-delivery Of
flour. Ninety-five barrels were shipped
at Higginsport, of which it is averred
twenty-eight were not delivered. The
defendant alleges a delivery OF the entire
shipment.
The evidence shows that the boat ar
rived on the 10th October, and that the
day being fair, the flour was put out on
the wharf, and notice given to the plain
tiff, who, late in the afternoon, sent
his clerk to say that he would not
be able to attend to the flour that after
noon,
Several witnesses were examined as to
the custom of carriers, showing that
when a boat arrived in the day, and the
eOnsignee had received notice, the boat
was discharged from further liability.
This custom was reasonable, aud they
would hold it to he the law without re-
ference to custom. The plaintiff had
immediate notice, but excused himself
from the care of the property. The
excuse was not sufficient, and the iudg-
ment should be affirmed.
Here Is another, which was also rem
dered at the same place:
a. Il. barnes VS.. the steamboat Edin-
burg. An action to the value of
baggage taken or board at Middleport,
for Cincinnati, and alleged to have been
lost. 1t was left on board for a day after
the arrival of the boat; and Judge Force
held that, in view of that fact, the boat
ceased TO be liable as a common c
and the owners could be held only as
warehOusemen.
