Supreme Court Ruling on Bills of Lading Stoppage in Transit
Judge Turner of the Federal court holds that a duplicate bill of lading does not by itself prove title to goods and that the consignor may stop goods in transit if the original bill remains unpaid. The case Castanola & Sons v Missouri Pacific Railroad Co involves 25 boxes of tobacco shipped January February 1884 and the dispute over which bill of lading represents ownership. The verdict favors the defendant, with costs, noting that the purchaser of a duplicate bill had notice of the original unpaid bill and did not gain insurable title to the goods.
