law, are such goods and personal chattels
as, contrary to the nature Of chattle,,
either by special custom or by will, de-
scend to the heir, along with the inner

of the last possessor. Some very singular

There is sharp competition now be-
tween the Pacific mail steamers and the

signed through bills of lading at %

So active is competition that freight can
