In Pittsburg on December 30 Judge Acheson issued an opinion in William Doyle versus the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The ruling implies railroad liability for the full value of goods in transit unless a value agreement and freight terms are signed by the shipper, challenging the effect of a printed bill of lading clause limiting liability. The case, tried at the November term, had jury verdict for the plaintiff at $5,000 subject to legal questions.
