Syllabus

<p>Carriers — Common carriers — Limitation of liability — Interstate commerce.</p> <p>1. The act of congress of June 29, 1906, 34 Statutes at Large, 584, does not prevent the Pennsylvania courts from continuing to apply the rule that a common carrier cannot contract for exemption from his own negligence, or that of his servants, nor for a limited liability in case of loss from such negligence.</p> <p>Contract — Sale—Title.</p> <p>2. An absolute sale of goods cannot be shown by evidence to the effect that the owner sent the goods to another person to be sold at a price named, the latter to get his commissions from the buyer of the goods, and in the event that they could not be sold they would be returned to the owner.</p>
