New York Court of Appeals
Herman A. Armour, Appellants v. the Michigan Central Railroad Company, Respondent
January 5, 187565 N.Y. 111
Summary
The Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's judgment and ordered a new trial, holding that the railroad carrier is estopped from denying receipt of the lard described in its bills of lading and that the replevin judgment does not bar the plaintiffs' claim. A concurrence joined the majority, reiterating the factual background and agreeing with the holding.
