The libel in this ease alleges that the libelant owned the merchandise, and that the damage was occasioned while the merchandise was being carried by the Southern Cross. This is enough; and it was not necessary to set np the bill of lading. The respondent can allege that document in its answer if it intends to rely on any of its provisions. Furthermore, it can ascertain the character and extent of the damage by interrogatories.

The exceptions to the libel are overruled.
