<p>Shipping (|§ 176, 184*) — Demuehage—Evidence,</p> <p>Upon a contract for tlie transportation of bricks by the respondent from New York to Colon, it appeared that there was some detention of two steamers at New York and three at Colon for which the libellant was entitled to recover. A counterclaim on the part of tlie respondent for damages arising from failure to receive the bricks at New York, promptly upon reaching there, dismissed, because the respondent failed to show any agreement to receive except when formal declarations were made upon which proper action was taken.</p> <p>[Ed.
