New York Supreme Court January 15, 1818 (Ostrander v. Brown & Stafford)

Platt, J.

delivered the opinion of the court. In a case where the precise place of delivery is material, it may he proper to allow evidence of a local usage. For instance, the usage at Havanna is often proved to show that some species of cargoes, such as slaves, are to he delivered at the Moro Castle, and that other articles are deliverable only on the wharfs in the inner harbour.
