Must Be Correct

once more has court of RECORD
placed the responsibility for the trans
mission of telegraphic message on the
company handling and sending the
message. The latest decision to this
effect comes from the supreme court OF
New York, in suit in which cotton
brokers secured judgement for S38, ,6S4
against the Postal Telegraph Co. The
plaintiff alleged they telegraphed their
New Orleans agent to sell 10000 bales
OF cotton at 1910, but that when the
telegram reached the agent it read ~. OF.
The cotton brokers asked for damages
TO the amount of S27, ,595, with interest,
and received judgment for the whole
amount. The Michigan courts have
likewise sustained the contention that
any loss suffered through an error in
the transmission of telegram by the
company accepting the message for
transmission must be made good by the
company making the error.
