Description
CAYTON, Chief Judge. This was an action by furniture dealers against an interstate motor carrier of freight for damages allegedly caused by them to certain crated furniture which they transported from Hoboken, New Jersey to this city. The jury awarded its verdict to defendant and plaintiffs have brought this appeal. The shipment in question consisted of some 240 pieces of used furniture which plaintiffs had bought in Holland for shipment to their store in this city. The furniture was packed in 24 crates and shipped by Holland-America Line to Hoboken. From that city it was brought to Washington in four trailer trucks of defendant, reloaded onto other trucks of theirs, and delivered to plaintiffs. There was evidence for the plaintiffs that the furniture had been carefully and properly packed into the crates in Holland. There was a conflict in the evidence as to just what condition it was in when it reached Hoboken; though it was conceded that at least some of it had been damaged at that time, before the shipment was entrusted to defendant carrier. There was also evidence that the furniture was very poorly packed into the crates; that the various pieces were not strapped or blocked or chocked in the crates to prevent slipping or damage in transit.
