Syllabus

<p>CONTRACT FOR STORAGE-WAREHOUSE RECEIPT-VARIATION BY PAROL.</p> <p>Where a party has entered into an oral contract of storage with a warehouseman, such contract governs, and not the terms set forth in a warehouse receipt subsequently mailed to him and which was retained by him without noticing that it contained provisions differing from that of his oral contract, and parol evidence is admissible to show the real contract.</p> <p>SAME-STATUTORY DEFINITION OF RECEIPT-EFFECT ON CONTRACTS.</p> <p>The fact that Bal. Code, § 3590, defines the nature of a warehouse receipt would not preclude parties from making a contract of storage upon such terms and conditions as they choose.</p>
