Appellate Court of Illinois June 9, 1886 (Western Transit Co. v. Hosking)

Morah, J.

The main contention in this case arises over the question whether the owners of the fish are bound by the conditions on the back of the bill of lading which was taken by the forwarder, Bing, at Boston. On the trial plaintiffs offered the receipt contained in the bill of lading, to show that appellants received the fish in good condition.
