New York Court of Appeals
Otis D. Breese, Appellants v. United States Telegraph Company, Respondent
September 5, 187148 N.Y. 132
Summary
The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the plaintiffs were bound by the liability‑limiting terms printed on the telegraph company's blank they used, and therefore could not recover for the loss caused by the transmission error. The Court also found no negligence on the part of the telegraph company.
