Supreme Court of Georgia May 24, 1901 (Georgia Railroad v. Johnson)

Simmons, C. J.

Articles which are perishable in their nature, such as fruit, etc., are not baggage when placed in his trunk by a passenger on a railroad to be transported. If, therefore, the fruit rots, because of long delay in delivering the trunk, and injures the clothing in the trunk, the railroad company is not liable for the injury sustained.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring.
