Syllabus

<p>1. A delivery of goods by a common carrier, otherwise than in accordance with the bill of lading, is in the carrier’s wrong and at his risk, the title to the property remaining in the consignor until an authorized delivery.</p> <p>2. To relieve from this rule on the ground of a delivery in accordance with a course of dealing with the party to whom it is made, the evidence must be sufficient to bring home knowledge to the consignor, in a way that would justify a finding that he had acquiesced in that course and consented to the delivery in the instance in accordance therewith.</p>
