notice Of the contents Of packages carried
by them, they must have right to refuse
TO receive packages unless their contents
are known. It would be unreasonable to
require them in that case TO accept as con-
elusive in every instance the information
given by the owner, they must be at liberty
whenever in doubt Os to the exact right
of inspection Of the contents as Condi-
tiOn OF carriage. But the doctrine which
would lead to such course Of business
would cause great Inconvenience and sell
dom accomplish any good. Fortunately
the law Is not 80 unreasonable and does
not enforce such doctrine, and tho con-
clusiOn Is that the carrier Is not chargea-
bic with notice Of the contents OF pack

act done without his fault.

Wagner O.. Treasurer Of Charleston Co.
The question in this case was whether
tho tax officer was bound 10 accept the
bills OF the Bank of South Caroline In
payment Of taxes, the allegation Being
that by its charter the bills Of the bank
were 10 be receivable for oil dues to the
State. The County Treasurer answered
that the bills were Issued In 1901, and
were in aid of the rebellion, and were
therefore not legal tender; and secondly,
that the clause Of the charter under which
payment was rendered had been repealed.
The first question was found by the jury
in favor OF the bank, but the Court held
that the clause requiring the State to re.
ceiye the bills for taxes was subsequently,
repealed. This ruling is sustained here
and judgment affirmed.
