no error in what the circuit Judge
said upon the question whether the
bills of lading, with the exceptions,
constituted the contract between the
parties. The charge in this particu-
lar is justified by very numerous au-
thorities." citing, among others, the
case of Grace rs. adams, 100. Mass. sos.
in which the Court said: The terms
and conditions (of the receipt are ex-
pressed in the body of it in a way not
calculated to escape attention. The
acceptance of it by the plaintiff, at
the time OF the delivery of his pack
age, without notice of his dissent
from its terms, authorized the de
PENDANTS to infer assent by the
plaintiff 1t was his only voucher
and evidence against the defendants.
1t Is not claimed that he did not
know, when be took it, that it was a
shipping contract or bill of lading.
1t was his duty to read it. The law
presumes, In the absence Of fraud or
imposition, that he did read it, or
was otherwise informed Of its con-
tents, and was willing to assent to its
terms without reading IT,"
IL -AtCs To- IL. w. TO- AUtc. U lllcQ.,
pa, the bill of lading with the
notice printed on the back, was in
the same words as that in Railroad
Go. Is. Nangtdcturiag Co.. supra, and
the reasoning and conclusion of
the Court were also the same.
But in the later case of
AclNillan rs. Mich. s. d ". I. Il. r.
Co., Is Mich, lib, in which the
exemption clause was inserted in the
body OF the bill of lading as part of
the contract, the same Court held
differently, taking the same view as
was taken by the Supreme Court of
the United States in the later case
of Bank Of kentucky Us. adams Erp. Co.
cited supra.
1t is true that some courts, more
particularly the Illinois courts, hold
that the carrier must show affirma-
lively that the shipper knew, and
assented to, the terms of the receipt,
but the decisions OF nearly all of the
courts in which the question has
arisen are the other way. See, in
addition to the cases above cited,
'Snider rs. adams Erp. Co., So Mo. 376;
@ rn1dntd Fire ms. Co. Us. III. d r. Co.,
IL n. Y. 80; HoadIey rs. Northern
Trans. Co., lis Mass. 3O4; Mulligan cs.
III. G. r. Co., Sc la ISL; Laurence as.
N. T., p. Dc B. r. Co., sc Conn. So;
King &C. Woodbridge, 81 Vt. 566; Farm
ham rs. G. Dc A. r. Co., 55 Pa. st. So;
Boo7man cs Ana. Exp. Co., 81 Wis. 153;
CHM, II. & d. & d. & M. r. Co. vs..
p. & z 10 Oh. st. 221. In the case
at bar the acceptance of the receipt
is particularly strong evidence of
assent to its terms, for the reason that
the receipt was prepared by the
shippers and presented by them to
the carriers agent for his signature.
Plaintiffs counsel urges further
that, even if the consignor may be
bound by an acceptance of the re
ceipt. yet the consignor had no au
thority to bind the consignee by
special contract of this nature. Bat
the case of Bank Of kentucky as adams
EEp. Co, supra, decides otherwise,
and, we think, with good reason.
The exceptions are overruled.

In an action against a common carrier Tor
non-delivery of goods destroyed by fire,
the carrier being by special contract ex-
empted from liability for losses By fire
not due to its negligence, evidence OF
changes in the general conduct of its
business made by the carrier after the
fire is inadmissibIe to show negligence at
the time Of the fire.
The acceptance without objection OF bill
Of Iading prepared by shipper and &C
cepted BY him at the time the goods are
delivered to the carrier, IS, in the absence
OF fraud, imposition or mistake, evidence
OF the shippers assent TO a provision
contained in the body OF the bill exemp-
ing the carrier from liability for losses by
fire not due TO its negligence.
A consignor "prima facie'' has authority TO
bind the cOnsignee by special contract
exempting the carrier from liability for
losses by fire not due TO IFS negligence.
