Railey v. Porter
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The instruction given for defendant was wrong.
Notwithstanding that the forwarding merchants may have been prevented by the misconduct of the officers of the boat from getting three bills of lading in the usual manner, they yet were bound to give advice to the consignee of the shipment made to him, and the liability of the boat does not discharge them from liability.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded.
