245 F. 909 | E.D. La. | 1912
It is contended by respondents that as the ship would not be liable for a bill of lading signed by the master, or some one for him, when the goods were not actually received, there was no liability in this case; but I consider that contention entirely beside the issue.
The verdict of the Danish court is conclusive on the parties, and the ship was made to suffer through the wrongful act of respondents’ agent acting within the scope of his authority, and for which they are responsible.
There will he a decree in favor of the libelant as prayed for.
