The J. Russell Manufacturing Company, Appellant v. the New Haven Steamboat Company, Respondent

Summary

The Court reversed the judgment for the carrier, holding that the carrier's duty was discharged when the goods were landed at the customary wharf and the consignee was given a reasonable time to remove them, that no specific notice was required under the long‑standing practice, that the question of whether a reasonable time was afforded was a factual issue for the jury, and that the negligence issue should have been submitted to the jury.
