New York Court of Appeals
William F. Krulder, Respondent v. Nathaniel E. Ellison, Appellants
December 19, 187147 N.Y. 36
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that, upon delivery of the goods to the carrier pursuant to the written order, title passed absolutely to the consignee, subject only to a right of stoppage in transit, and therefore the consignor could not maintain an action for the loss of the goods.
