Mayo v. Stansbury

California Supreme Court
Mayo v. Stansbury, 3 Cal. 465 (Cal. 1853)
Heydenfeldt

Mayo v. Stansbury

Opinion of the Court

Heydenfeldt, Justice,

delivered the opinion of the court. Wells, Justice, concurred.

It is true, as insisted, that the owner of a chartered vessel has no general lien upon the cargo for the chartered price, but this suit is brought upon a bill of lading made to the plaintiff jointly with one Leland. It is clear that the plaintiff has no separate cause of action, and it follows that the judgment must be affirmed. So ordered.
