The supreme court Of California has
rendered q decision of Importance in
connection with bills of lading. The
decision is that the assignee of a bill of
lRding, without notice, is entitled to
goods previously stopped in transitu by
the vendor. The goods were sent from
New York to San Francisco; the vendee
firm failed before the goods arrived; the
vendor gave notice to the Central Pa
cific railroad company; two hours after
the vendees assigned the bill OF lading,
obtaining an advance, no notice of stop.
page of goods being given to the as
signee. The reasoning of the court is
that as the vendor had invested the ven
dee with the insignia Of title and appa-
rent ownership, the stranger advancing
bis money on the faith of this title is
not bound, at his peril, to ascertain
whether, possibly, the vendee may not
have notified a carrier, near or remote,
that the goods are stopped in transitu.
II this indeed was case of the first inn
preston, it was decided upon the plain
principle of equity, that where one or
two innocent persons must suffer loss, it
must fall upon the party who induced
the loss.
