Carter v. The Mascotte

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Carter v. The Mascotte, 51 F. 605 (2d Cir. 1892)
1892 U.S. App. LEXIS 1313; 2 C.C.A. 399

Carter v. The Mascotte

Opinion of the Court

Wallace, Circuit Judge.

We agree with the learned district judge who decided this cause in the court below, that the libelants have a sufficient ease for the recovery of their damages, by reason of nondelivery of their cargo in good order and condition. The burden of proof is on the steamship to overcome the effect of the acknowledgment in the bill of lading of the reception of the goods on board in good order and condition,” and the evidence introduced on her behalf is not sufficient to overcome the effect of this recital. The decree is affirmed'.
